Description

Functions of Matrices : Theory and Computation, Hardcover by Higham, Nicholas.... Functions of Matrices : Theory and Computation, Hardcover by Higham, Nicholas J., ISBN 0898716462, ISBN-13 9780898716467, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In a research monograph that can be used as a core or supplemental text in a graduate course, Higham (applied mathematics, U. of Manchester, England) offers what he characterizes as a reasonably complete treatment of the theory of matrix functions, along with numerical methods for computing them, and an overview of applications. He focuses on three equivalent definitions of f(A), based respectively on the Jordan canonical form, polynomial interpolation, and the Cauchy integral formula. Much of the material can be understood with only a basic grounding in numerical analysis and linear algebra, he says, but he is really writing for specialists in numerical analysis and applied linear algebra.
