Differential equations are the basis for models of any physical systems that exhibit smooth change. This book combines much of the material found in a traditional course on ordinary differential equations with an introduction to the more modern theory of dynamical systems. Applications of this theory to physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering ......
This book is devoted to giving a modern view of iterative methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations, which are the basis for many, if not most, of the models of phenomena in science and engineering; their efficient numerical solution is critical to progress in these areas. The text provides motivating examples mainly from boundary value ......
And Related Problems of Mathematical Physics, Engineering, and Life Sciences
This book is the first to offer a systematic methodology for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using power series, specifically those arising in mathematical physics. It provides tools to eliminate the tedious manipulation of infinite series, enabling recursive computation of all terms. The authors also present a structured ......
With Applications in Optical Wave Propagation and Imaging in Turbulence
The objective of this textbook is twofold-to introduce advanced novel mathematical techniques and then to use them to solve a variety of problems that may arise in various applications. The novel mathematical techniques, covered in Part I of the text, involve the use of generalized hypergeometric functions, including the Meijer G-function. We ......
Research on the Anderson Acceleration (AA) has exploded in the last 15 years. This book brings together these recent fundamental results applied to nonlinear solvers for PDEs, which are ubiquitous across mathematics, science, engineering, and economics as predictive models for a vast quantity of important phenomena. Coverage includes: AA ......
This comprehensive book focuses on numerical methods for approximating solutions to partial differential equations. Intended as a broad survey of methods, the aim is to introduce readers to the central concepts of various families of discretizations and solution algorithm and lay the foundation needed to understand more advanced material, The book ......
This self-contained textbook provides the foundations of linear optimization, covering topics in both continuous and discrete linear optimization. It gradually builds the connection between theory, algorithms, and applications so that readers gain a theoretical and algorithmic foundation, familiarity with a variety of applications, and the ability ......
The book presents a solution to a problem in adaptive control design that was open for 40 years: robustification of disturbances without compromising asymptotic performance. This original methodology builds on foundational ideas, such as the use of a deadzone in the update law and nonlinear damping in the controller, and advances the tools for and ......
Including One Theorem, One Rule of Thumb, and One Hundred and Six Exercises
This book provides an easily accessible, yet detailed, discussion of computer arithmetic as mandated by the IEEE 754 floating point standard, arguably the most important standard in the computer industry. The result of an unprecedented cooperation between academic computer scientists and industry, the standard is supported by virtually every ......
