This volume reviews recent advances in the development and
application of the recursion method in computational solid state
physics and elsewhere. It comprises the invited papers which were
presented at a two-day conference at Imperial College, London
during September 1984. The recursion method is based on the Lanczos
algorithm for the tridiago nalisation of matrices, but it is much
more than a straightforward numerical technique. It is widely
regarded as the most elegant framework for a variety of
calculations into which one may incorporate physical insights and a
num ber of technical devices. The standard reference is Volume 35
of Solid State Physics, which contains all the early ideas of
Heine, Haydock and others, upon which the method was established.
The present volume provides the first review of subsequent
developments. It also indicates where problems remain, or opinions
differ, in the interpretation of the mathematical details or choice
of practical techniques in applications. The field is still very li
vely and much remains to be done, as the summary chapter clearly
demonstra tes. We are grateful to the S. E. R. C. 's Collaborative
Computational Project No. 9 on the electronic structure of solids
and the Institute of Physics's Solid State Sub-committee for their
sponsorship of the conference. We thank Angus MacKinnon for his
help in conference organisation and Jacyntha Crawley for
secretarial assistance. December 1984 David G. Pettifor Denis L.
