A Contemporary Study of Iterative Methods

Professor Alberto Magreñán (Department of Mathematics, Universidad Internacional de La Rioja, Spain). Magreñán has published 43 documents. He works in operator theory, computational mathematics, Iterative methods, dynamical study and computation. Professor Ioannis Argyros (Department of Mathematical Sciences Cameron University, Lawton, OK, USA) has published 329 indexed documents and 25 books. Argyros is interested in theories of inequalities, operators, computational mathematics and iterative methods, and banach spaces.

"Contemporary in the title means that the coverage is state-of-the-art, with all currently-useful methods being shown. The level of detail is reasonable for an encyclopedia, and each chapter is extensively footnoted with references to research papers. Usually each chapter describes the method, quotes some theorems about the conditions under which it will succeed (occasionally with proofs), and usually a contrived numeric example to show how it works. There’s usually some discussion of convergence speed." --MAA Reviews
