This book aims to give an encyclopedic overview of the state-of-the-art of Krylov subspace iterative methods for solving nonsymmetric systems of algebraic linear equations and to study their mathematical properties.

This text presents an up-to-date account of the soft-scale insects, "Coccidae", and covers almost the entire spectrum of the knowledge of this insect family. It is divided into three sections, covering: soft scale insects, their natural enemies, and damage and control.

Composed of topical review articles which place emphasis on the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and materials science. This work presents an account of achievements in the field of magnetic materials.

The second of two volumes which aim to survey convex geometry, its many ramifications and its relations with other areas of mathematics. A second aim is to give a high-level introduction to most branches of convexity and its applications, showing the major ideas, methods and results.

Contains about 50,000 terms covering various fields and subfields of nuclear engineering and technology such as nuclear physics, thermonuclear research, nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel, isotopes, radiation, reliability issues, environmental protection, emergency issues, and others. This book includes terms from the military nuclear field.

This computationally oriented book describes and explains the mathematical relationships among matrices, moments, orthogonal polynomials, quadrature rules, and the Lanczos and conjugate gradient algorithms. The book bridges different mathematical areas to obtain algorithms to estimate bilinear forms involving two vectors and a function of the matrix. The first part of the book provides the necessary mathematical background and explains the theory. The second part describes the applications and gives numerical examples of the algorithms and techniques developed in the first part. Applications addressed in the book include computing elements of functions of matrices; obtaining estimates of the error norm in iterative methods for solving linear systems and computing parameters in least squares and total least squares; and solving ill-posed problems using Tikhonov regularization. This book will interest researchers in numerical linear algebra and matrix computations, as well as scientists and engineers working on problems involving computation of bilinear forms.

The essays collected in this volume present a broad survey of the state of the art in logistics systems research, showing that logistics remains an active, vibrant subject of inquiry. This volume focuses mainly on the key developments in the last decade.

Aims to be a state-of-the-art monograph on the theory of the time and norm optimal controls for y(t) = Ay(t) + u(t) that ends at the very frontier of research. This work includes applications to optimal diffusion processes; applications to optimal heat propagation processes; and more.

This volume focuses on theory and methods within the area of statistics. Topics covered include: a historical perspective; relations and identities; distributed function of statistics; extremes and asymptotics; and resampling methods.

The study of the structure of molecular systems is an enduring area of research. This series is devoted to bringing together articles from leading workers in the field that draw together recent theoretical and experimental results and advances in understanding.

Shows how asymptotic methods, with the thickness as the small parameter, indeed provide a means of justifying two-dimensional plate theories. This book demonstrates that asymptotic methods can be used for justifying other lower-dimensional equations of elastic shallow shells, and the coupled pluri-dimensional equations of elastic multi-structures.

Contains a brief review of adsorption history and its development for practical purposes. This book presents important information on adsorbents and catalysts as well as on the methods of their characterization. It includes a comprehensive review on contemporary utility of self-assembled monolayers, adsorption proteins and their role in industry.

An introduction to contemporary research in elasticity, this text descibes the two competing mathematical models of three-dimensional elasticity, together with a mathematical analysis of these models. Emphasis is placed on nonlinear aspects.

Encouraged by new perspectives in Banach space theory, the editors present this second volume that opens with an introductory essay that explains the basics of the theory. The rest of the chapters focus on specific directions of Banach space theory or its applications.

Features the Beginnings of Chromatography, which highlights MS Tswett, the inventor of chromatography, and several other early pioneers. This title includes a bibliography of publications on the history of the evolution of chromatography. It also contains chapters on support and stationary phases, and separations.

The Lanczos and conjugate gradient (CG) algorithms are fascinating numerical algorithms. This book presents the most comprehensive discussion to date of the use of these methods for computing eigenvalues and solving linear systems in both exact and floating point arithmetic.

A guide to numerical methods for solving large sparse linear systems of equations, in particular those arising from the discretization of partial differential equations. This text covers both direct and iterative methods, including Gaussian elimination and alternating directions algorithms.

Identifies practical reasoning as reasoning performed with comparatively few cognitive assets, including resources such as information, time and computational capacity.
