Preconditioning and the conjugate gradient method in the context of solving partial differential equations

Posted by on

Josef Málek and Zdeněk Strakoš have written a book on preconditioning and the conjugate gradient method in the context of solving partial differential equations. The book is about the interplay between modeling, analysis, discretization, matrix computation, and model reduction. The authors link analysis of partial differential equations, functional analysis, and calculus of variations with matrix …
