The fourth edition of Gene H. Golub and Charles F. Van Loan's classic is an essential reference for computational scientists and engineers in addition to researchers in the numerical linear algebra community. Anyone whose work requires the solution to a matrix problem and an appreciation of its mathematical properties will find this book to be an indispensible tool. This revision is a cover-to-cover expansion and renovation of the third edition. It now includes an introduction to tensor computations and brand new sections on: fast transforms; parallel LU; discrete Poisson solvers; pseudospectra; structured linear equation problems; structured eigenvalue problems; large-scale SVD methods; and, polynomial eigenvalue problems. Matrix Computations is packed with challenging problems, insightful derivations, and pointers to the literature-everything needed to become a matrix-savvy developer of numerical methods and software.

This volume contains a collection of papers dealing with applications of orthogonal polynomials and methods for their computation, of interest to a wide audience of numerical analysts, engineers, and scientists. The applications address problems in applied mathematics as well as problems in engineering and the sciences.

Numerical linear algebra, digital signal processing, and parallel algorithms are three disciplines with a great deal of activity in the last few years. The interaction between them has been growing to a level that merits an Advanced Study Institute dedicated to the three areas together. This volume gives an account of the main results in this interdisciplinary field. The following topics emerged as major themes of the meeting: - Singular value and eigenvalue decompositions, including applications, - Toeplitz matrices, including special algorithms and architectures, - Recursive least squares in linear algebra, digital signal processing and control, - Updating and downdating techniques in linear algebra and signal processing, - Stability and sensitivity analysis of special recursive least squares problems, - Special architectures for linear algebra and signal processing. This book contains tutorials on these topics given by leading scientists in each of the three areas. A consider- able number of new research results are presented in contributed papers. The tutorials and papers will be of value to anyone interested in the three disciplines.

In recent years, there has been a great interest in large-scale and real-time matrix compu- tationsj these computations arise in a variety of fields, such as computer graphics, imaging, speech and image processing, telecommunication, biomedical signal processing, optimiza- tion and so on. This volume gives an account of recent research advances in numerical techniques used in large-scale and real-time computations and their implementation on high performance computers. For anyone interested in any of the aforementioned disci- plines, this collection of papers is of value and provides state-of-the-art expositions as weil as new and important trends and directions for the future, motivated and illustrated by a wealth of scientific and engineering applications. The volume is an outgrowth of the NATO Advanced Study Institute "Linear Algebra for Large-Scale and Real-Time Applications," held at Leuven, Belgium, August 1992. We were quite fortunate to be able to gather such an exceilent group of researchers to participate in this Institute. We are indebted to all the participants who enriched the meeting through their many contributions. Special thanks are due to the invited speakers at the Institute, P. Bjlifrstad, Universitetet i Bergen -Norway, S. Boyd, Stanford University -U. S. A. , G. Cy- benko, Dartmouth College -U. S. A. , J. Demmel, University of California Berkeley -U. S. A, E. Deprettere, Technische Universiteit Delft -The Netherlands, P. Dewilde, Technische Uni- versiteit Delft -The Netherlands, R. Freund, AT & T -U. S. A. , M.

This book concerns modern methods in scientific computing and linear algebra, relevant to image and signal processing. For these applications, it is important to consider ingredients such as: (1) sophisticated mathematical models of the problems, including a priori knowledge, (2) rigorous mathematical theories to understand the difficulties of solving problems which are ill-posed, and (3) fast algorithms for either real-time or data-massive computations. Such are the topics brought into focus by these proceedings of the Workshop on Scientific Computing (held in Hong Kong on March 10-12, 1997, the sixth in such series of Workshops held in Hong Kong since 1990), where the major themes were on numerical linear algebra, signal processing, and image processing.

This computationally oriented book describes and explains the mathematical relationships among matrices, moments, orthogonal polynomials, quadrature rules, and the Lanczos and conjugate gradient algorithms. The book bridges different mathematical areas to obtain algorithms to estimate bilinear forms involving two vectors and a function of the matrix. The first part of the book provides the necessary mathematical background and explains the theory. The second part describes the applications and gives numerical examples of the algorithms and techniques developed in the first part.

Applications addressed in the book include computing elements of functions of matrices; obtaining estimates of the error norm in iterative methods for solving linear systems and computing parameters in least squares and total least squares; and solving ill-posed problems using Tikhonov regularization.

This book will interest researchers in numerical linear algebra and matrix computations, as well as scientists and engineers working on problems involving computation of bilinear forms.
