   Iterative methods for linear systems: theory and applications
Olshanskii M., Tyrtyshnikov E., SIAM, Philadelphia, PA, 2014. 263 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-611973-45-7)

The term “linear systems” in the title refers to equations of the form Ax = b, where x and b are elements of a Euclidean space and

   Insight through computing: a MATLAB introduction to computational science and engineering
Van Loan C., Fan K., SIAM, Philadelphia, PA, 2009. 452 pp.  Type: Book (978-0-898716-91-7)

This is a carefully designed introductory text to computational science that uses the MATLAB language. Among scientists, engineers, and numerical analysts, MATLAB has become a lingua franca for describing and executing algorithms. As o...

   Scientific programming in Fortran
Van Snyder W. Scientific Programming 15(1): 3-8, 2007.  Type: Article

As one of the first programming languages, Fortran has a complicated history. Although Fortran 66 was quickly standardized--and, for a while, nearly every computer platform could be had with a Fortran compiler--the la...

   The quadratic eigenvalue problem in electric power systems
Misrikhanov M., Ryabchenko V. Automation and Remote Control 67(5): 698-720, 2006.  Type: Article

The quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP) is not usually covered in introductory linear algebra or numerical methods courses. Even advanced linear algebra texts, such as Gantmacher [1], covered it only in later chapters. Since the 1960s, ...

   Minimizing quadratic functions subject to bound constraints with the rate of convergence and finite termination
Dostál Z., Schöberl J. Computational Optimization and Applications 30(1): 23-43, 2005.  Type: Article

The application of finite element methods to the solution of many variational inequalities leads to the minimization of a quadratic function of a large number of variables with bound constraints. Unconstrained problems of this size are...

   A decentralized algorithm for spectral analysis
Kempe D., McSherry F.  Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (Proceedings of the Thirty-sixth Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, Chicago, IL, USA, Jun 13-16, 2004) 561-568, 2004.  Type: Proceedings

A decentralized algorithm for the computation of the spectral decomposition of a graph is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on the use of subspace iteration to compute a few dominant eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix o...

   Approximate implicitization via curve fitting
Wurm E., Jüttler B.  Geometry processing (Proceedings of the Eurographics/ACM SIGGRAPH symposium, Aachen, Germany, Jun 23-25, 2003) 240-247, 2003.  Type: Proceedings

The problem discussed here starts with scattered data points in a plane that are thought to lie along a curve. The authors describe two methods to fit these points with a piecewise smooth curve defined implicitly: one uses tensor produ...
