    Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S. Fundamentals of Numerical Computation

    3 in stock

    Book Synopsis“If mathematical modeling is the process of turning real phenomena into mathematical abstractions, then numerical computation is largely about the transformation from abstract mathematics to concrete reality. Many science and engineering disciplines have long benefited from the tremendous value of the correspondence between quantitative information and mathematical manipulation.” -from the PrefaceFundamentals of Numerical Computation is an advanced undergraduate-level introduction to the mathematics and use of algorithms for the fundamental problems of numerical computation: linear algebra, finding roots, approximating data and functions, and solving differential equations. The book is organized with simpler methods in the first half and more advanced methods in the second half, allowing use for either a single course or a sequence of two courses. The authors take readers from basic to advanced methods, illustrating them with over 200 self-contained MATLAB functions and examples designed for those with no prior MATLAB experience. Although the text provides many examples, exercises, and illustrations, the aim of the authors is not to provide a cookbook per se, but rather an exploration of the principles of cooking.Professors Driscoll and Braun have developed an online resource that includes well-tested materials related to every chapter. Among these materials are lecture-related slides and videos, ideas for student projects, laboratory exercises, computational examples and scripts, and all the functions presented in the book.

    Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S. PETSc for Partial Differential Equations:

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation (PETSc) is an open-source library of advanced data structures and methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations and for managing discretizations. This book uses these modern numerical tools to demonstrate how to solve nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in parallel. It starts from key mathematical concepts, such as Krylov space methods, preconditioning, multigrid, and Newton’s method. In PETSc these components are composed at run time into fast solvers.Discretizations are introduced from the beginning, with an emphasis on finite difference and finite element methodologies. The example C programs of the first 12 chapters, listed on the inside front cover, solve (mostly) elliptic and parabolic PDE problems. Discretization leads to large, sparse, and generally nonlinear systems of algebraic equations. For such problems, mathematical solver concepts are explained and illustrated through the examples, with sufficient context to speed further development. PETSc for Partial Differential Equations addresses both discretizations and fast solvers for PDEs, emphasizing practice more than theory. Well-structured examples lead to run-time choices that result in high solver performance and parallel scalability. The last two chapters build on the reader’s understanding of fast solver concepts when applying the Firedrake Python finite element solver library. This textbook, the first to cover PETSc programming for nonlinear PDEs, provides an on-ramp for graduate students and researchers to a major area of high-performance computing for science and engineering. It is suitable as a supplement for courses in scientific computing or numerical methods for differential equations.

  • Rounding Errors in Algebraic Processes

    Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S. Rounding Errors in Algebraic Processes

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisRounding Errors in Algebraic Processes was the first book to give systematic analyses of the effects of rounding errors on a variety of key computations involving polynomials and matrices.A detailed analysis is given of the rounding errors made in the elementary arithmetic operations and inner products, for both floating-point arithmetic and fixed-point arithmetic. The results are then applied in the error analyses of a variety of computations involving polynomials as well as the solution of linear systems, matrix inversion, and eigenvalue computations.The conditioning of these problems is investigated. The aim was to provide a unified method of treatment, and emphasis is placed on the underlying concepts.This book is intended for mathematicians, computer scientists, those interested in the historical development of numerical analysis, and students in numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra.Trade Review[This book] combines a rigorous mathematical analysis with a practicality that stems from an obvious first-hand contact with the actual numerical computation. The well-chosen examples alone show vividly both the importance of the study of rounding errors and the perils of its neglect. A. A. Grau, SIAM Review (1966)

In numerical simulations, the functional spaces of approximation used to search for solutions are defined from meshes, and in this sense these meshes play a fundamental role. This strong link between the meshes and functional spaces leads us to consider advanced simulation methods in which the meshes are adapted to the behaviors of the underlying physical phenomena. This book presents the basic elements of this meshing vision.Table of ContentsForeword 9 Introduction 11 Chapter 1 Finite Elements and Shape Functions 15 1.1. Basic concepts 15 1.2.

  • Geometric and Topological Mesh Feature Extraction

    ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Geometric and Topological Mesh Feature Extraction

    Book SynopsisThree-dimensional surface meshes are the most common discrete representation of the exterior of a virtual shape. Extracting relevant geometric or topological features from them can simplify the way objects are looked at, help with their recognition, and facilitate description and categorization according to specific criteria. This book adopts the point of view of discrete mathematics, the aim of which is to propose discrete counterparts to concepts mathematically defined in continuous terms. It explains how standard geometric and topological notions of surfaces can be calculated and computed on a 3D surface mesh, as well as their use for shape analysis. Several applications are also detailed, demonstrating that each of them requires specific adjustments to fit with generic approaches. The book is intended not only for students, researchers and engineers in computer science and shape analysis, but also numerical geologists, anthropologists, biologists and other scientists looking for practical solutions to their shape analysis, understanding or recognition problems.Table of ContentsPreface ix Introduction xi Chapter 1.

    Book SynopsisThis book studies methods to concretely address inverse problems. An inverse problem arises when the causes that produced a given effect must be determined or when one seeks to indirectly estimate the parameters of a physical system. The author uses practical examples to illustrate inverse problems in physical sciences. He presents the techniques and specific methods chosen to solve inverse problems in a general domain of application, choosing to focus on a small number of methods that can be used in most applications. This book is aimed at readers with a mathematical and scientific computing background. Despite this, it is a book with a practical perspective. The methods described are applicable, have been applied, and are often illustrated by numerical examples.Trade Review"The book is very carefully written, in a reader-friendly style.

    Book SynopsisThis textbook offers an introduction to differential geometry designed for readers interested in modern geometry processing. Working from basic undergraduate prerequisites, the authors develop manifold theory and Lie groups from scratch; fundamental topics in Riemannian geometry follow, culminating in the theory that underpins manifold optimization techniques. Students and professionals working in computer vision, robotics, and machine learning will appreciate this pathway into the mathematical concepts behind many modern applications.Starting with the matrix exponential, the text begins with an introduction to Lie groups and group actions. Manifolds, tangent spaces, and cotangent spaces follow; a chapter on the construction of manifolds from gluing data is particularly relevant to the reconstruction of surfaces from 3D meshes. Vector fields and basic point-set topology bridge into the second part of the book, which focuses on Riemannian geometry.Chapters on Riemannian manifolds encompass Riemannian metrics, geodesics, and curvature. Topics that follow include submersions, curvature on Lie groups, and the Log-Euclidean framework. The final chapter highlights naturally reductive homogeneous manifolds and symmetric spaces, revealing the machinery needed to generalize important optimization techniques to Riemannian manifolds. Exercises are included throughout, along with optional sections that delve into more theoretical topics.Differential Geometry and Lie Groups: A Computational Perspective offers a uniquely accessible perspective on differential geometry for those interested in the theory behind modern computing applications. Equally suited to classroom use or independent study, the text will appeal to students and professionals alike; only a background in calculus and linear algebra is assumed. Readers looking to continue on to more advanced topics will appreciate the authors’ companion volume Differential Geometry and Lie Groups: A Second Course.Trade Review“The book … is intended ‘for a wide audience ranging from upper undergraduate to advanced graduate students in mathematics, physics, and more broadly engineering students, especially in computer science.’ … The text’s coverage is extensive, its exposition clear throughout, and the color illustrations helpful. The authors are also familiar with many texts at a comparable level and have drawn on them in several places to include some of the most insightful proofs already in the literature.” (Jer-Chin Chuang, MAA Reviews, October 4, 2021)“The book is intended for incremental study and covers both basic concepts and more advanced ones. The former are thoroughly supported with theory and examples, and the latter are backed up with extensive reading lists and references. … Thanks to its design and approach style this is a timely and much needed addition that enables interdisciplinary bridges and the discovery of new applications for differential geometry.” (Corina Mohorian, zbMATH 1453.53001, 2021)Table of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisThis volume includes contributions from the 9th Parallel-in-Time (PinT) workshop, an annual gathering devoted to the field of time-parallel methods, aiming to adapt existing computer models to next-generation machines by adding a new dimension of scalability. As the latest supercomputers advance in microprocessing ability, they require new mathematical algorithms in order to fully realize their potential for complex systems. The use of parallel-in-time methods will provide dramatically faster simulations in many important areas, including biomedical (e.g., heart modeling), computational fluid dynamics (e.g., aerodynamics and weather prediction), and machine learning applications. Computational and applied mathematics is crucial to this progress, as it requires advanced methodologies from the theory of partial differential equations in a functional analytic setting, numerical discretization and integration, convergence analyses of iterative methods, and the development and implementation of new parallel algorithms. Therefore, the workshop seeks to bring together an interdisciplinary group of experts across these fields to disseminate cutting-edge research and facilitate discussions on parallel time integration methods.

    Book SynopsisThe developments in mesh generation are usually driven by the needs of new applications and/or novel algorithms. The last decade has seen a renewed interest in mesh generation and adaptation by the computational engineering community, due to the challenges introduced by complex industrial problems.Another common challenge is the need to handle complex geometries. Nowadays, it is becoming obvious that geometry should be persistent throughout the whole simulation process. Several methodologies that can carry the geometric information throughout the simulation stage are available, but due to the novelty of these methods, the generation of suitable meshes for these techniques is still the main obstacle for the industrial uptake of this technology.This book will cover different aspects of mesh generation and adaptation, with particular emphasis on cutting-edge mesh generation techniques for advanced discretisation methods and complex geometries.Table of Contents1 Carolyn Woeber, Advances in H-P Mesh Adaptation for Finite Element Methods.- 2 Chiara Nardoni, Remeshing techniques in shape and topology optimization.- 3 Dimitrios Papadimitrakis, Building direction fields on the medial object to generate 3D domain decompositions for hexahedral meshing.- 4 Franck Ledoux, Interecode hexahedral meshing from Eulerian to Lagrangian simulations.- 5 Jean-Francois Remacle, A robust approach for mesh generation of surfaces with irregular/singular parametrizations.6 Jens Lang, Sample Adaptive Multilevel Stochastic Collocation Schemes in Uncertainty Quantification of Gas Transport in Networks.- 7 Jessica Zhang, Hexahedral dominant mesh generation and spline modeling for isogeometric analysis.- 8 Juan José Ródenas, Mesh adaptivity in the framework of the Cartesian grid finite element method, cgFEM.- 9 Mario Ricchiuto, h- and r-adaptation on simplicial meshes: implementation and applications.- 10 Onkar Sahni, Geometry and Adaptive Mesh Update Procedures for Ballistics Simulations.- 11 Per-Olof Persson, HOIST: High-Order Implicit Shock Tracking using an optimization-based discontinuous Galerkin method.- 12 Rainald Lohner, Breakthrough ‘workarounds’ in unstructured mesh generation.- 13 Simone Appella, An adaptive moving mesh method with conservative interpolation based on local projection.- 14 Suzanne Shontz, Global optimization strategies for automated edge grid generation.

  • Convex Analysis and Beyond: Volume I: Basic

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG Convex Analysis and Beyond: Volume I: Basic

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book presents a unified theory of convex functions, sets, and set-valued mappings in topological vector spaces with its specifications to locally convex, Banach and finite-dimensional settings. These developments and expositions are based on the powerful geometric approach of variational analysis, which resides on set extremality with its characterizations and specifications in the presence of convexity. Using this approach, the text consolidates the device of fundamental facts of generalized differential calculus to obtain novel results for convex sets, functions, and set-valued mappings in finite and infinite dimensions. It also explores topics beyond convexity using the fundamental machinery of convex analysis to develop nonconvex generalized differentiation and its applications. The text utilizes an adaptable framework designed with researchers as well as multiple levels of students in mind. It includes many exercises and figures suited to graduate classes in mathematical sciences that are also accessible to advanced students in economics, engineering, and other applications. In addition, it includes chapters on convex analysis and optimization in finite-dimensional spaces that will be useful to upper undergraduate students, whereas the work as a whole provides an ample resource to mathematicians and applied scientists, particularly experts in convex and variational analysis, optimization, and their applications.Trade Review“Each chapter ends with an exercise section … . While primarily addressed to researchers, the book can be used for graduate courses in optimization, by undergraduate and graduate students for theses and projects as well as by researchers and practitioners from other fields where tools from convex analysis, variational analysis and optimization play a role. All in one, the reviewer warmly recommends this book to anyone interested.” (Sorin-Mihai Grad, zbMATH 1506.90001, 2023)“This outstanding book will certainly be useful to anyone interested to learn convex analysis, in particular to graduate students and researchers in the field. Most parts of it can also serve as the basis of advanced courses on a variety of topics. In view of the excellence of this first volume, one can expect the best of the announced second one, which will deal with applications of convex analysis.” (Juan Enrique Martínez-Legaz, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2023)“Every chapter of the book has one section of exercises and one section of commentaries. These sections provide the reader with a lot of information and give him/her great benefits in self-learning. … The book under review has many things to offer and, surely, it will play an important role in the development of convex analysis … .

    Book SynopsisThis open access book provides insights into the novel Locally Refined B-spline (LR B-spline) surface format, which is suited for representing terrain and seabed data in a compact way. It provides an alternative to the well know raster and triangulated surface representations. An LR B-spline surface has an overall smooth behavior and allows the modeling of local details with only a limited growth in data volume. In regions where many data points belong to the same smooth area, LR B-splines allow a very lean representation of the shape by locally adapting the resolution of the spline space to the size and local shape variations of the region. The iterative method can be modified to improve the accuracy in particular domains of a point cloud. The use of statistical information criterion can help determining the optimal threshold, the number of iterations to perform as well as some parameters of the underlying mathematical functions (degree of the splines, parameter representation). The resulting surfaces are well suited for analysis and computing secondary information such as contour curves and minimum and maximum points. Also deformation analysis are potential applications of fitting point clouds with LR B-splines.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Locally Refined Splines.- Adaptive surface Fitting with Local Refinement: LR B-spline Surfaces.- A Statistical Criterion to Judge the Goodness of Fit of LR B-splines Surface Approximation.- LR B-splines for Representation of Terrain and Seabed: Data Fusion, Outliers, and Voids.- LR B-spline Surfaces and Volumes for Deformation Analysis of Terrain Data.- Conclusion.
