This second edition has been almost completely rewritten to create a textbook designed so instructors can determine the degree of rigor and flexible enough for a one- or two-semester course. The author achieves this by increasing the level of sophistication as the text proceeds from traditional first principles in the early chapters to theory and applications in the later ones, and by ensuring that material at any point is not dependent on subsequent developments. While theorems and proofs are highlighted, the emphasis is on applications.The author provides carefully constructed exercises ranging from easy to moderately challenging to difficult, many of which condition students for topics that follow. An accompanying book, Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra, Second Edition, Study and Solutions Guide, contains complete solutions and discussions of each exercise; and historical remarks that focus on the personalities of the individuals who created and contributed to the subject's development.This book is designed for use in either a one- or two-term linear algebra course. It can also serve as a reference to anyone who needs to use or apply linear algebra.

Since its original appearance in 1997, Numerical Linear Algebra has been a leading textbook in its field, used in universities around the world.

Expositions of quantitative methods and algorithms for biological data tend to be scattered through the technical literature, often across different fields, and are thus awkward to assimilate. This book documents one example of this: the relationship between the cell biology idea of metabolic networks and the mathematical idea of polyhedral cones. Such cones can be used to describe the set of steady-state admissible fluxes through metabolic networks, and consequently have become important constructs in the field of microbiology.Via convex cone concepts, fundamental objects called elementary flux modes (EFMs) can be described mathematically. The fundamental algorithm of this relationship is the double description method, which has an extended history in the field of computational geometry. This monograph addresses its relatively recent use in the context of cellular metabolism. Metabolic Networks, Elementary Flux Modes, and Polyhedral Cones:Addresses important topics in the mathematical description of metabolic activity that have not previously appeared in unified form.Introduces a central topic of mathematical systems biology in a manner accessible to nonmathematicians with some mathematical and computational experience. Presents a careful study of the double description method, a fundamental algorithm of computational geometry, in the context of metabolic analysis.The core audience for this book includes mathematicians, engineers, and biologists interested in cell metabolism. Computational geometers will also find it of interest.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in network-based modeling in many branches of science. This book synthesizes some of the common features of many such models, providing a general framework analogous to the modern theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. How networks lead to behavior not typical in a general dynamical system and how the architecture and symmetry of the network influence this behavior are the book's main themes.Dynamics and Bifurcation in Networks: Theory and Applications of Coupled Differential Equations is the first book to describe the formalism for network dynamics developed over the past 20 years. In it, the authors introduce a definition of a network and the associated class of "admissible" ordinary differential equations, in terms of a directed graph whose nodes represent component dynamical systems and whose arrows represent couplings between these systems. They also develop connections between network architecture and the typical dynamics and bifurcations of these equations and discuss applications of this formalism to various areas of science, including gene regulatory networks, animal locomotion, decision-making, homeostasis, binocular rivalry, and visual illusions.This book will be of interest to scientific researchers in any area that uses network models, which includes many parts of biology, physics, chemistry, computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, psychology, and sociology.

This second edition has been almost completely rewritten to create a textbook designed to provide flexibility for nearly any desired degree of rigor and depth of coverage. This is achieved with a linear development ensuring that material at any point is not dependent on subsequent developments and by means of graduated levels of sophistication. The text moves from traditional first principles in early chapters to deeper topics involving both theory and applications in later chapters. This allows for a traditional single-term course based on roughly half of the text without having to refer to more advanced topics while the later portion of the book facilitates a seamless two-term course covering the range of theory and applications generally reserved for discussions beyond fundamentals.Rigor is present throughout, but the level is adaptable because all major theorems have ample accompanying discussions and illustrative examples designed to convince readers and students of the validity of a result without a deep dive into the proof. Moreover, there is an expanded emphasis on both the depth and breadth of applications that are designed to illuminate the utility of the subject across broad areas of science and engineering. At major junctures there are photos and historical remarks concerning the personalities who created and contributed to the subject's development. Throughout there are carefully constructed exercises ranging from easy to moderately challenging to difficult, many of which condition students for topics that follow. Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra, Second Edition, Study and Solutions Guide contains discussions of each exercise that are designed to guide the development as one moves through the subject.

This text presents a unique treatment of network control systems. Drawing from fundamental principles of dynamical systems theory and dynamical thermodynamics, the authors develop a continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid dynamical system and control framework for linear and nonlinear large-scale network systems. The proposed framework extends the concepts of energy, entropy, and temperature to undirected and directed information networks. Continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid thermodynamic principles are used to design distributed control protocol algorithms for static and dynamic networked systems in the face of system uncertainty, exogenous disturbances, imperfect system network communication, and time delays.Network Information Systems: A Dynamical Systems Approach is written for applied mathematicians, dynamical systems theorists, control theorists, and engineers. Researchers and graduate students in a variety of fields who seek a fundamental understanding of the rich behavior of controlled large-scale network systems will also find this book useful.This book can be used for a first course on control design of large-scale network systems, such as control protocols for network systems, network information systems, a dynamical systems approach to network systems, and network thermodynamic systems. The prerequisites are a first course in nonlinear systems theory and a first course in advanced (multivariable) calculus.

Among the many branches of applied mathematics, options pricing theory occupies a unique position: it utilizes a wide range of advanced mathematical concepts, making it appealing to mathematicians, and it is regularly applied at financial institutions, making it indispensable to practitioners. The emergence of artificial intelligence in the financial industry has led to further interest in mathematical finance and has increased the demand for literature on this subject that is accessible to a large audience.This book presents a self-contained introduction to options pricing theory and includes a complete discussion of the required concepts in finance and probability theory; an introduction to basic models, emphasizing both critical thinking and practical applications; and over 200 exercises, several Python codes for the analysis and application of the options pricing models, and numerical projects intended to help close the gap between theory and practice. A First Course in Options Pricing Theory is suitable for an advanced undergraduate course on financial mathematics and options pricing theory in engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics programs. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the standard material in calculus and linear algebra. Stochastic calculus is not used in the book.

Set-valued, convex, and nonsmooth analysis are relatively modern branches of mathematical analysis and increasingly relevant in current control theory and control engineering literature. The first book of this scope and at this level, Set-Valued, Convex, and Nonsmooth Analysis in Dynamics and Control serves as a broad introduction to the field and to applications in dynamical and control systems. Continuous-time and discrete-time multivalued dynamics, modeled by differential and difference inclusions, are treated next to one another and often interchangeably.

The solutions to all of the problems will be made available on an accompanying website. Two entirely new chapters, one on locally convex spaces and distribution theory and the other on the Fourier transform and Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators, have also been added. In addition, the chapter on the “great theorems” of nonlinear functional analysis has been enlarged and split into two chapters, one on the calculus of variations and the other on Brouwer’s theorem, Brouwer’s degree, and Leray–Schauder’s degree.AudienceIdeal for both teaching and self-study, Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications, Second Edition is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, university professors, and researchers. It is also an ideal basis for several courses on linear or nonlinear functional analysis.

This book provides an easily accessible, yet detailed, discussion of computer arithmetic as mandated by the IEEE 754 floating point standard, arguably the most important standard in the computer industry. The result of an unprecedented cooperation between academic computer scientists and industry, the standard is supported by virtually every modern computer. Although the basic principles of IEEE floating point arithmetic have remained largely unchanged since the first edition of this book was published in 2001, the technology that supports it has changed enormously.Every chapter has been extensively rewritten, and two new chapters have been added: one on computations with higher precision than that mandated by the standard, needed for a variety of scientific applications, and one on computations with lower precision than was ever contemplated by those who wrote the standard, driven by the massive computational demands of machine learning.The second edition of Numerical Computing with IEEE Floating Point Arithmetic includes many technical details not readily available elsewhere, along with many new exercises. It explores the rationale for floating point representation, correctly rounded arithmetic, exception handling, and support for the standard provided by floating point microprocessors and programming languages. Key concepts such as cancellation, conditioning and stability are also discussed. The book emphasizes historical development, from the early history of computing, through the 2008 and 2019 revisions of the floating-point standard, to the latest advances in microprocessor support. It also includes a previously unpublished letter by Donald E. Knuth on the value of gradual underflow, a key requirement of the standard.AudienceThis book should be accessible to any reader with an interest in computers and mathematics, including students at all levels. Some basic knowledge of calculus and programming is assumed in the second half. There is enough variety of content that all but the most expert readers will find something of interest.

This is the only book devoted exclusively to Hessenberg and tridiagonal matrices. Hessenberg matrices are involved in Krylov methods for solving linear systems or computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, in the QR algorithm for computing eigenvalues, and in many other areas of scientific computing (for instance, control theory). Matrices that are both upper and lower Hessenberg are tridiagonal. Their entries are zero except for the main diagonal and the subdiagonal and updiagonal next to it.Hessenberg and Tridiagonal Matrices: Theory and Examples presents known and new results; describes the theoretical properties of the matrices, their determinants, LU factorizations, inverses, and eigenvalues; illustrates the theoretical properties with applications and examples as well as numerical experiments; and considers unitary Hessenberg matrices, inverse eigenvalue problems, and Toeplitz tridiagonal matrices.AudienceThis book is intended for applied mathematicians, especially those interested in numerical linear algebra, and it will also be of interest to physicists and engineers.
