ADVANCES IN THE EFFICIENCY OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
by Ioannis K Argyros (Cameron University, USA)
This invaluable textbook creates a general framework for the study of optimal iterative procedures for problems that are solved approximately. Emphasis is given to the efficiency of numerical methods. For generality the setting is abstract, but the book presents many applications to practical problems, allowing the reader to take advantage of the most modern high speed calculating devices, and provides examples to illustrate concepts and major theorems. The examples are selected from astrophysics (radiative transfer and the kinetic theory of gases), mechanics (elasticity), economics (predator–prey problems), the n-dimensional Euclidean space and other applied areas. At the end of the textbook, contemporary numerical algorithms to be used for high speed computations have been included.
The book will benefit not only senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in the field but also those who wish to obtain information about specific results or techniques that take into account the particular nature of the equation.
Contents:
- Divided Differences
- Constants and Functions Appearing in Numerical
Methods
- Convergence and Error Analysis for Iterative Methods
- Special Topics
- Convergence in Generalized Banach Spaces
- Discretization of Newton-like Methods
- Convergence Analysis Based on the Second Fréchet Derivative
- Forcing Sequences and the Second Fréchet-Derivative

Readership: Senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in
computational mathematics.
"The book is well-written and accessible to people with a good background in calculus and functional analysis. It can be recommended as a reference work for researchers with an interest in the solution of nonlinear problems. It would also be suitable for an advanced numerical analysis course."
"This book is extremely valuable for graduate students, for scientists, and for specialists."
