The Theory and Applications of Iteration Methods

The theory and applications of Iteration Methods is a very fast-developing field of numerical analysis and computer methods. The second edition is completely updated and continues to present the state-of-the-art contemporary theory of iteration methods with practical applications, exercises, case studies, and examples of where and how they can be used.

The Theory and Applications of Iteration Methods, Second Editionincludes newly developed iteration methods taking advantage of the most recent technology (computers, robots, machines). It extends the applicability of well-established methods by increasing the convergence domain and offers sharper error tolerance. New proofs and ideas for handling convergence are introduced along with a new variety of story problems picked from diverse disciplines.

This new edition is for researchers, practitioners, and students in engineering, economics, and computational sciences.

Ioannis K. Argyros is a professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Cameron University, Lawton, Oklahoma, USA.
