Download E-books G.W. Stewart: Selected Works with Commentaries PDF

By Iain S. Duff (auth.), Misha E. Kilmer, Dianne P. O'Leary (eds.)

Published in honor of his seventieth birthday, this quantity explores and celebrates the paintings of G.W. (Pete) Stewart, a world-renowned professional in computational linear algebra. it really is greatly approved that Stewart is the successor to James Wilkinson, the 1st vast within the box, taking on the perturbation concept examine that Wilkinson so ably all started and utilizing it as a starting place for algorithmic insights.

Stewart’s effects on rounding mistakes in numerical computations supplied simple realizing of floating-point computation. His effects on perturbation of eigensystems, pseudo-inverses, least-squares difficulties, and matrix factorizations are primary to numerical perform this day. His algorithms for the singular worth decomposition, updating and downdating matrix factorizations, and the eigenproblem broke new floor and are nonetheless frequent in more and more functions. Stewart’s papers, greatly stated, are characterised through beauty in theorems and algorithms and transparent, concise, and gorgeous exposition. His six well known textbooks are first-class assets of information and historical past. Stewart is a member of the nationwide Academy of Engineering and has acquired a variety of extra honors, together with the Bauer Prize.

Key positive factors of this quantity include:

* Forty-four of Stewart’s such a lot influential study papers in topic parts: matrix algorithms and rounding and perturbation theory

* A biography of Stewart

* a whole record of Stewart’s guides, scholars, and honors

* chosen photographs

* Commentaries on Stewart’s works in collaboration with prime specialists within the field

G.W. Stewart: chosen Works with Commentaries will entice graduate scholars, practitioners, and researchers in computational linear algebra and the historical past of mathematics.
