This textbook prepares graduate students for research in
numerical analysis/computational mathematics by giving to them a
mathematical framework embedded in functional analysis and focused
on numerical analysis. This helps the student to move rapidly into
a research program. The text covers basic results of functional
analysis, approximation theory, Fourier analysis and wavelets,
iteration methods for nonlinear equations, finite difference
methods, Sobolev spaces and weak formulations of boundary value
problems, finite element methods, elliptic variational inequalities
and their numerical solution, numerical methods for solving
integral equations of the second kind, and boundary integral
equations for planar regions. The presentation of each topic is
meant to be an introduction with certain degree of depth.
Comprehensive references on a particular topic are listed at the
end of each chapter for further reading and study.
Because of the relevance in solving real world problems,
multivariable polynomials are playing an ever more important role
in research and applications. In this third editon, a new chapter
on this topic has been included and some major changes are made on
two chapters from the previous edition. In addition, there are
numerous minor changes throughout the entire text and new exercises
are added.
Review of earlier edition:
..".the book is clearly written, quite pleasant to read, and
contains a lot of important material; and the authors have done an
excellent job at balancing theoretical developments, interesting
examples and exercises, numerical experiments, and bibliographical
references."
R. Glowinski, SIAM Review, 2003
