Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This book evolved from notes originally developed for a graduate course, "Best Approximation in Normed Linear Spaces," that I began giving at Penn State Uni versity more than 25 years ago. It soon became evident. that many of the students who wanted to take the course (including engineers, computer scientists, and statis ticians, as well as mathematicians) did not have the necessary prerequisites such as a working knowledge of Lp-spaces and some basic functional analysis. (Today such material is typically contained in the first-year graduate course in analysis. ) To accommodate these students, I usually ended up spending nearly half the course on these prerequisites, and the last half was devoted to the "best approximation" part. I did this a few times and determined that it was not satisfactory: Too much time was being spent on the presumed prerequisites. To be able to devote most of the course to "best approximation," I decided to concentrate on the simplest of the normed linear spaces-the inner product spaces-since the theory in inner product spaces can be taught from first principles in much less time, and also since one can give a convincing argument that inner product spaces are the most important of all the normed linear spaces anyway. The success of this approach turned out to be even better than I had originally anticipated: One can develop a fairly complete theory of best approximation in inner product spaces from first principles, and such was my purpose in writing this book.

Theoretical Numerical Analysis
Author: Kendall Atkinson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441904581
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 631
Book Description
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

Linear Algebra Done Right
Author: Sheldon Axler
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780387982595
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This text for a second course in linear algebra, aimed at math majors and graduates, adopts a novel approach by banishing determinants to the end of the book and focusing on understanding the structure of linear operators on vector spaces. The author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and to simplify proofs. For example, the book presents - without having defined determinants - a clean proof that every linear operator on a finite-dimensional complex vector space has an eigenvalue. The book starts by discussing vector spaces, linear independence, span, basics, and dimension. Students are introduced to inner-product spaces in the first half of the book and shortly thereafter to the finite- dimensional spectral theorem. A variety of interesting exercises in each chapter helps students understand and manipulate the objects of linear algebra. This second edition features new chapters on diagonal matrices, on linear functionals and adjoints, and on the spectral theorem; some sections, such as those on self-adjoint and normal operators, have been entirely rewritten; and hundreds of minor improvements have been made throughout the text.

Introductory Functional Analysis
Author: B.D. Reddy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461205751
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Providing an introduction to functional analysis, this text treats in detail its application to boundary-value problems and finite elements, and is distinguished by the fact that abstract concepts are motivated and illustrated wherever possible. It is intended for use by senior undergraduates and graduates in mathematics, the physical sciences and engineering, who may not have been exposed to the conventional prerequisites for a course in functional analysis, such as real analysis. Mature researchers wishing to learn the basic ideas of functional analysis will equally find this useful. Offers a good grounding in those aspects of functional analysis which are most relevant to a proper understanding and appreciation of the mathematical aspects of boundary-value problems and the finite element method.

Linear Algebra: Core Topics For The First Course
Author: Dragu Atanasiu
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811215049
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The book is an introduction to linear algebra intended as a textbook for the first course in linear algebra. In the first six chapters we present the core topics: matrices, the vector space ℝn, orthogonality in ℝn, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and linear transformations. The book gives students an opportunity to better understand linear algebra in the next three chapters: Jordan forms by examples, singular value decomposition, and quadratic forms and positive definite matrices.In the first nine chapters everything is formulated in terms of ℝn. This makes the ideas of linear algebra easier to understand. The general vector spaces are introduced in Chapter 10. The last chapter presents problems solved with a computer algebra system. At the end of the book we have results or solutions for odd numbered exercises.

Shock capturing and high-order methods for hyperbolic conservation laws
Author: Jan Glaubitz
Publisher: Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH
ISBN: 3832550844
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This thesis is concerned with the numerical treatment of hyperbolic conservation laws. These play an important role in describing many natural phenomena. Challenges in their theoretical as well as numerical study stem from the fact that spontaneous shock discontinuities can arise in their solutions, even in finite time and smooth initial states. Moreover, the numerical treatment of hyperbolic conservations laws involves many different fields from mathematics, physics, and computer science. As a consequence, this thesis also provides contributions to several different fields of research - which are still connected by numerical conservation laws, however. These contributions include, but are not limited to, the construction of stable high order quadrature rules for experimental data, the development of new stable numerical methods for conservation laws, and the investigation and design of shock capturing procedures as a means to stabilize high order numerical methods in the presence of (shock) discontinuities. Jan Glaubitz was born in Braunschweig, Germany, in 1990 and completed his mathematical studies (B.Sc., 2014, M.Sc., 2016, Dr. rer. nat., 2019) at TU Braunschweig. In 2016, he received awards from the German Mathematical Society (DMV) for his master's thesis as well as from the Society of Financial and Economic Mathematics of Braunschweig (VBFWM). In 2017, he was honored with the teaching award "LehrLEO" for the best tutorial at TU Braunschweig. Since 2020, he holds a position as a postdoctoral researcher at Dartmouth College, NH, USA.
