This textbook introduces readers to the basic concepts of quasi-Monte Carlo methods for numerical integration and to the theory behind them. The comprehensive treatment of the subject with detailed explanations comprises, for example, lattice rules, digital nets and sequences and discrepancy theory. It also presents methods currently used in research and discusses practical applications with an emphasis on finance-related problems. Each chapter closes with suggestions for further reading and with exercises which help students to arrive at a deeper understanding of the material presented....

This book distinguishes itself from the many other textbooks on the topic of linear algebra by including mathematical and computational chapters along with examples and exercises with Matlab. In recent years, the use of computers in many areas of engineering and science has made it essential for students to get training in numerical methods and computer programming. Here, the authors use both Matlab and SciLab software as well as covering core standard material. It is intended for libraries; scientists and researchers; pharmaceutical industry.

This text provides an introduction to some of the best-known fixed-point theorems, with an emphasis on their interactions with topics in analysis. The level of exposition increases gradually throughout the book, building from a basic requirement of undergraduate proficiency to graduate-level sophistication. Appendices provide an introduction to (or refresher on) some of the prerequisite material and exercises are integrated into the text, contributing to the volume s ability to be used as a self-contained text. Readers will find the presentation especially useful for independent study or...

"This is a delightful little paperback which presents a day-by-day transcription of a course taught jointly by Polya and Tarjan at Stanford University...One can count on Polya and Tarjan] for new insights and a fresh outlook. Both instructors taught by presenting a succession of examples rather than by presenting a body of theory... The book] is very well suited as supplementary material for any introductory class on combinatorics; as such, it is very highly recommended. Finally, for all of us who like the topic and delight in observing skilled professionals at work, this...

Algorithms and Programming is primarily intended for use in a first-year undergraduate course in programming. It is structured in a problem-solution format that requires the student to think through the programming process, thus developing an understanding of the underlying theory. The book is easily readable by a student taking a basic introductory course in computer science as well as useful for a graduate-level course in the analysis of algorithms and/or compiler construction.

Each self-contained chapter presents classical and well-known problems supplemented by clear and...

The implicit function theorem is one of the most important theorems in analysis and its many variants are basic tools in partial differential equations and numerical analysis.

This second edition of Implicit Functions and Solution Mappings presents an updated and more complete picture of the field by including solutions of problems that have been solved since the first edition was published, and places old and new results in a broader perspective. The purpose of this self-contained work is to provide a reference on the topic and to provide a unified collection of a number of...

This book provides an extensive introduction to numerical computing from the viewpoint of backward error analysis. The intended audience includes students and researchers in science, engineering and mathematics. The approach taken is somewhat informal owing to the wide variety of backgrounds of the readers, but the central ideas of backward error and sensitivity (conditioning) are systematically emphasized. The book is divided into four parts: Part I provides the background preliminaries including floating-point arithmetic, polynomials and computer evaluation of functions; Part II covers...

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Conference, Évolution Artificielle, EA 2022, held in Exeter, UK, during October 31–November 2, 2022.

The 15 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 18 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics in the field of artificial evolution, including, but not limited to: evolutionary computation, evolutionary optimization, coevolution, artificial life, population dynamics, theory, algorithmic and modeling, implementations.

Bei der Diskretisierung von Randwertaufgaben und Integralgleichungen entstehen grosse, eventuell auch voll besetzte Matrizen. In dem Band stellt der Autor eine neuartige Methode dar, die es erstmals erlaubt, solche Matrizen nicht nur effizient zu speichern, sondern auch alle Matrixoperationen einschliesslich der Matrixinversion bzw. der Dreieckszerlegung approximativ durchzufuhren. Anwendung findet diese Technik nicht nur bei der Losung grosser Gleichungssysteme, sondern auch bei Matrixgleichungen und der Berechnung von Matrixfunktionen."
