Geotechnical practice employs computer programs that incorporate numerical methods to address problems of stability, settlement, deformation, and seepage. These methods are based on theoretical ...

I've written about numerical calculations before, but perhaps they weren't too inspiring. What are numerical calculations? Here is my own definition. Numerical Calculations (numerical methods, ...

Computational methods for fitting nonlinear models have developed considerably in the last decade. Statistical use of these techniques has, as yet, lagged somewhat behind. The present paper gives a ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The concepts of convergence, consistency and stability are given very general definitions that are applicable to any numerical computation.

Mathematical approaches for numerically solving partial differential equations. The focus will be (a) iterative solution methods for linear and non-linear equations, (b) spatial discretization and ...

Optical systems employ a rich array of physical effects which are described by well-understood equations. However, for all but the simplest devices these equations are typically too complex to permit ...

General aspects of polynomial interpolation theory. Formulations in different basis, e.g. Lagrange, Newton etc. and their approximation and computational properties ...
