Book Description

Using lasers to induce and probe surface processes has the advantages of quantum state specificity, species selectivity, surface sensitivity, fast time-resolution, high frequency resolution, and accessibility to full pressure ranges. These advantages make it highly desirable to use light to induce, control, or monitor surface chemical and physical processes. Recent applications of laser based techniques in studying surface processes have stimulated new developments and enabled the understanding of fundamental problems in energy transfer and reactions. This volume will include discussions on spectroscopic techniques, energy transfer, desorption dynamics, and photochemistry.

Good for reference and self-study.......2001-06-29

This book gives an excellent overview of numerical analysis from both the theoretical and practical points of view. The in-depth discussion given by the author makes this book a welcome addition to the literature on numerical analysis and scientific computation. Fortran 90 is the language of choice for the author in discussing programming implementations of the examples and concepts. There are no exercises in the book, so it would be difficult to use as a textbook or a course in numerical analysis, but it does serve as a useful reference and supplement to such a course.

In chapter 1, the author briefly overviews the strategies and techniques behind scientific modeling and gives many historical examples. A rather short discussion however is given on the testing and validation of models. More should have been said here about this very important phase of the modeling process.

The author introduces the principles behind numerical analysis in chapter 2. He uses the problem of the plane pendulum from elementary physics to motivate the issues involved, such as the accuracy of the mathematical model. The author then classifies numerical problems into four categories, and gives a rigorous discussion of the accuracy of numerical results. This is followed by a discussion of the types of error one would encounter when doing numerics, these being model errors, data errors, algorithm errors, and rounding errors. Data error analysis, which studies the impact on the solution by altering the data on which it is based, is given a fine treatment by the author in terms of functional analysis. He defines the important concepts of absolute and relative condition numbers, and then discusses ill-conditioned problems. The author emphasizes that characterizing a problem as being ill-conditioned depends on the desired level of accuracy. He then gives a fairly complete overview of the validation of numerical computations and numerical software. The author emphasizes the extreme difficulties involved in the accessing of software quality statistically.

Chapter 3 gives an overview of computer hardware and architecture used to perform numerical computations. The author discusses the use of parallelization, pipelining, vector processors, memory hierarchies, caching (the discussion of this is excellent), virtual memory, and interleaving. He also gives a useful discussion of how to quantify numerical software performance, and how to perform an analytical and empirical assessment of hardware performance.

The actual implementation of numerical algorithms is discussed in the next chapter, wherein the author discusses just how numerical data is represented in digital circuits, and how such data is operated on arithmetically. The implementation of floating-point arithmetic, via the IEC/IEEE floating-point standard is discussed. The author addresses well the accuracy issues that arise for problems (such as partial differential equations for example), involving an extremely large number of floating-point operations. In addition, he discusses the use and implementation of multiple-precision arithmetic, with examples given of the ISML, MP, FM, and MPFUN packages for doing this. I have found though that, in addition to some of these packages, high-level symbolic programming languages, such as Mathematica, can be very suitable for heavy-duty number crunching. The discussion of number systems and rounding in this chapter is excellent and well suited for the beginning student in numerical analysis.

Chapter 5 gives begins a discussion of numerical algorithms, and the author discusses the basic notions of algorithms and their complexity characterization via the O-notation. Case studies in matrix multiplication and summation are given to illustrate the contributions of rounding errors and error propagation. This is followed in chapter 6 by a discussion of numerical programs, wherein the author discusses the quality, efficiency, and computational overhead of programs. Performance optimization, via such techniques as loop optimization and blocked memory access, is given a fairly thorough treatment. Again, matrix multiplication is given as a case study for the concepts and techniques discussed by the author.

The software currently available for numerical algorithms is discussed in chapter 7. The IMSL and NAG packages are emphasized, but the author gives a very long list of the packages that are available, both commercially and as freeware.

In chapter 8, the author returns to a discussion of mathematical modeling, wherein approximation techniques are emphasized. After a brief discussion of analytic models, the author moves right into the techniques used to approximate these models, such as discrete and function approximation. More functional analytic techniques are brought in to discuss how to quantify the distance from a model function to the function actually being modeled.

The important technique of interpolation is discussed in chapter 9, and very thoroughly. Polynomial interpolation via Bernstein and Chebyshev polynomials is included, as well as the Horner, Clenshaw, Casteljau algorithms for finding the values of polynomials. Piecewise polynomial interpolation is also treated, as well as spline functions, the latter of which in particular is given a thorough treatment. Multivariate interpolation, along with tensor product interpolation is also discussed at the end of the chapter.

This book is mainly translated into English from German; therefore, the explanation isn't very clear. You spend much time to get the understanding of a subject. It isn't very much related with numerical analysis, instead modelling. Don't expect to find problems about using Numerical Formulas... Another disadvantage of this book is that it is divided into two parts, so, you must spend too much money to get the full content from two parts.

Book Description

An overview of the most successful algorithms and techniques for solving large, sparse systems of equations and some algorithms and strategies for solving optimization problems. The most important topics dealt with concern iterative methods, especially Krylov methods, ordering techniques, and some iterative optimization tools.
The book is a compendium of theoretical and numerical methods for solving large algebraic systems, special emphasis being placed on convergence and numerical behaviour as affected by rounding errors, accuracy in computing solutions for ill-conditioned matrices, preconditioning effectiveness, ordering procedures, stability factors, hybrid procedures and stopping criteria. Recent advances in numerical matrix calculations are presented, especially methods to accelerate the solution of symmetric and unsymmetric linear systems. Convergence analysis of the multi-grid method using a posteriori error estimation in second order elliptic equations are presented. Some inverse problems are also included. Evolution based software is described, such as genetic algorithms and evolution strategies, relations and class hierarchising to improve the exploration of large search spaces and finding near-global optima. Recent developments in messy genetic algorithms are also described.
The tutorial nature of the book makes it suitable for mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and postgraduates.
