Numerical Methods - Hardcover

by Lorentz Jäntschi (Guest Editor), Daniela Roșca (Guest Editor)

Numerical methods are a specific form of mathematics that involve creating and use of algorithms to map out the mathematical core of a practical problem. Numerical methods naturally find application in all fields of engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, medicine, business, and even arts. The common uses of numerical methods include approximation, simulation, and estimation, and there is almost no scientific field in which numerical methods do not find a use. Results communicated here include topics ranging from statistics (Detecting Extreme Values with Order Statistics in Samples from Continuous Distributions) and Statistical software packages (dCATCH-A Numerical Package for d-Variate near G-Optimal Tchakaloff Regression via Fast NNLS) to new approaches for numerical solutions (Exact Solutions to the Maxmin Problem max‖Ax‖ Subject to ‖Bx‖
