Introduction to Languages and the Theory of Computation
Author: John Martin | Size: 3.25 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: McGraw-Hill | Year: February 2, 2010 | pages: 436 | ISBN: 0073191469, ISBN-13: 978-0073191461
Introduction to Languages and the Theory of Computation helps students make the connection between the practice of computing and an understanding of the profound ideas that defines it. The book's organization and the author's ability to explain complex topics clearly make this introduction to the theory of computation an excellent resource for a broad range of upper level students. The author has learned through many years of teaching that the best way to present theoretical concepts is to take advantage of the precision and clarity of mathematical language. In a way that is accessible to students still learning this language, he presents the necessary mathematical tools gently and gradually which provides discussion and examples that make the language intelligible.

The Theory of Difference Schemes emphasizes solutions to boundary value problems through multiple difference schemes. It addresses the construction of approximate numerical methods and computer algorithms for solving mathematical physics problems. The book also develops mathematical models for obtaining desired solutions in minimal time using direct or iterative difference equations. Mathematical Reviews said it is "well-written [and] an excellent book, with a wealth of mathematical material and techniques."

Though many 'finite element' books exist, this book provides a unique focus on developing the method for three-dimensional, industrial problems. This is significant as many methods which work well for small applications fail for large scale problems, which generally:
are not so well posed
introduce stringent computer time conditions
require robust solution techniques.
Starting from sound continuum mechanics principles, derivation in this book focuses only on proven methods. Coverage of all different aspects of linear and nonlinear thermal mechanical problems in solids are described, thereby avoiding distracting the reader with extraneous solutions paths. Emphasis is put on consistent representation and includes the examination of topics which are not frequently found in other texts, such as cyclic symmetry, rigid body motion and nonlinear multiple point constraints.
Advanced material formulations include anisotropic hyperelasticity, large strain multiplicative viscoplasticity and single crystal viscoplasticity. Finally, the methods described in the book are implemented in the finite element software CalculiX, which is freely available ("www.calculix.de"; the GNU General Public License applies).
Suited to industry practitioners and academic researchers alike, The Finite Element Method for Three-Dimensional Thermomechanical Applications expertly bridges the gap between continuum mechanics and the finite element method.

This monograph gives a description of all algorithmic steps and a mathematical foundation for a special numerical method, namely the boundary-domain integral method (BDIM). This method is a generalization of the well-known boundary element method, but it is also applicable to linear elliptic systems with variable coefficients, especially to shell equations. The text should be understandable at the beginning graduate-level. It is addressed to researchers in the fields of numerical analysis and computational mechanics, and will be of interest to everyone looking at serious alternatives to the well-established finite element methods.

This classic work, on the numerical solution of boundary value problems by variational methods with special emphasis on the finite element and collocation methods, is now available in an unabridged paperback edition. Assuming only the elements of linear algebra and analysis, Prenter presents just the necessary Hilbert space theory and abstract functional analytic concepts before developing the use of splines as a fine approximating tool. This work remains one of the clearest introductions to variational methods and includes powerful applications of approximation theoretic notions to very applied problems.

Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations
Author: J. C. Butcher | Size: 3.12 MB | Format:DjVu | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: July 28, 2003 | pages: 440 | ISBN: 0471967580, ISBN-13: 978-0471967583
In recent years the study of numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations has seen many new developments. This book is a fully revised update of the author’s classic 1987 text, Numerical Analysis of Ordinary Differential Equations, and includes more material on linear multistep methods, whilst maintaining its emphasis on Runge–Kutta methods. It contains introductory material on differential and difference equations, and a comprehensive review of numerical methods and their potential applications. The review starts from the Euler method applied to simple problems and builds on these ideas to introduce increasingly complex methods and problems. The author then explores Runge–Kutta, linear multistep and general linear methods in detail.
Provides a comprehensive introduction to numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations.
Features introductory material on differential and difference equations.
Includes detailed coverage of Runge–Kutta, linear multistep, and general linear methods.
Contains exercises integrated into each chapter, enabling use as a course text or for self-study.
Balances informal discussion with a rigorous mathematical style.
Written by a leading authority on numerical methods.
Researchers and students from numerical methods, engineering and other sciences will find this book provides an accessible and self-contained introduction to numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations. It stands out amongst other books on the subject because of the author’s lucid writing style, and the integrated presentation of theory, examples, and exercises.

Research on non-standard finite element methods is evolving rapidly and in this text Brezzi and Fortin give a general framework in which the development is taking place. The presentation is built around a few classic examples: Dirichlet's problem, Stokes problem, Linear elasticity. The authors provide with this publication an analysis of the methods in order to understand their properties as thoroughly as possible.

Finite element methods (FEM), and its associated computer software have been widely accepted as one of the most effective general tools for solving large-scale, practical engineering and science applications. For implicit finite element codes, it is a well-known fact that efficient equation and eigen-solvers play critical roles in solving large-scale, practical engineering/science problems. Sparse matrix technologies have been evolved and become mature enough that all popular, commercialized FEM codes have already inserted sparse solvers into their software. However, a few FEM books have detailed discussions about Lanczos eigen-solvers, or explain domain decomposition (DD) finite element formulation (including detailed hand-calculator numerical examples) for parallel computing purposes. The materials from this book have been evolved over the past several years through the author's research work, and graduate courses.
