A Survey of Preconditioned Iterative Methods
1st Edition
By Are Magnus Bruaset
May 05, 1995
The problem of solving large, sparse, linear systems of algebraic equations is vital in scientific computing, even for applications originating from quite different fields. A Survey of Preconditioned Iterative Methods presents an up to date overview of iterative methods for numerical solution of ...

Further Advances in Twistor Theory: Volume II: Integrable Systems, Conformal Geometry and Gravitation
1st Edition
By L.J. Mason, L. Hughston
April 04, 1995
Twistor theory is the remarkable mathematical framework that was discovered by Roger Penrose in the course of research into gravitation and quantum theory. It have since developed into a broad, many-faceted programme that attempts to resolve basic problems in physics by encoding the structure of ...
Extending Modules
1st Edition
By Nguyen Viet Dung, Dinh Van Huynh, Patrick F Smith, Robert Wisbauer
November 30, 1994
Module theory is an important tool for many different branches of mathematics, as well as being an interesting subject in its own right. Within module theory, the concept of injective modules is particularly important. Extending modules form a natural class of modules which is more general than the...
Common Zeros of Polynominals in Several Variables and Higher Dimensional Quadrature
1st Edition
By Yuan Xu
October 10, 1994
Presents a systematic study of the common zeros of polynomials in several variables which are related to higher dimensional quadrature. The author uses a new approach which is based on the recent development of orthogonal polynomials in several variables and differs significantly from the previous ...

Harmonic Maps Into Homogeneous Spaces
1st Edition
By Malcolm Black
September 02, 1991
This book is concerned with harmonic maps into homogeneous spaces and focuses upon maps of Riemann surfaces into flag manifolds, to bring results of 'twistor methods' for symmetric spaces into a unified framework by using the theory of compact Lie groups and complex differential geometry....
