Методы решения сеточных уравнений Methods of solving grid equations

The book presents modern fast direct and iterative methods for solving systems of linear algebraic equations with a large number of unknowns and sparse ill-conditioned matrices. Such systems arise in the grid method for solving boundary and initial-boundary value problems for partial differential equations. The main part of the book is devoted to the construction, justification and algorithmic implementation of methods, as well as the construction of various types of preconditioners, the use of which allows to increase the efficiency of iterative methods. At the end of each chapter, information is provided that complements its content and allows the reader to navigate through a structured list of cited publications. The book contains three appendices, one of which is a summary of information from linear algebra used in various chapters. The book includes a large number of algorithms implementing these methods, and a detailed subject index.

The book will be useful to specialists who use existing effective grid methods to solve differential equations, and to researchers engaged in the development of new methods. It will be useful for university students and postgraduates specializing in numerical methods and applied mathematics.

Keywords: direct methods, iterative methods, convergence, preconditioning, grid equations, systems of linear equations, sparse matrices

Мозговой штурм Brainstorm

The author talks with Russian scientists about the origins of our problems and modernization prospects and about ways to involve young people in building ‘a knowledge economy’. His essays introduce readers to the unique scientific centers of the past and today many of which still operate under cover of strict secrecy. Among the heroes of the book are Nobel laureates and ‘fringe scholars’, 18th century inventors who did not get any recognition and ordinary residents of restricted-access cities.

Молекулярная биология. Структура и функции белков Molecular Biology. Structure and Functions

The book (the first and second editions were published by the Higher School Publishing House in 1996 and 2002, respectively) completes the line of textbooks on ‘Molecular Biology’ (‘Molecular Biology: The Structure of the Ribosome and the Protein Biosynthesis’- 1986, ‘Molecular Biology. Structure and Biosynthesis of Nucleic Acids’ - 1989).

Мораль в политике. Хрестоматия Morality in politics. Reader
The works of foreign thinkers of the 20th century on the role and possibilities of violence and non-violence in politics are presented. Texts representing different ideological and conceptual approaches are united, in addition to their common issues, by the strong resonance that they had in the social consciousness of their contemporaries. Approved by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation as a teaching aid in the discipline “Political Science” for university students studying at humanitarian specialties and areas. From the contents: Jean-Paul Sartre. Preface to Frantz Fanon's book Branded with a Curse. - Frantz Fanon. About violence. - Ernesto Che Guevara. Guerrilla warfare: method. - Mahatma Gandhi. Speeches and articles on nonviolence and nonviolent resistance. - Vaclav Havel. The power of the powerless. - Hannah Arendt. About violence. - Reinhold Niebuhr. The conflict between the individual and public morality. - Bernard Williams Politics and the Moral Person. - Georg Lukács Articles and letters on ethics and politics. “The reader is offered, in fashionable terms, an exquisite installation, thanks to which Fanon and Sartre, Che Guevara and Lukács, Gandhi and Niebuhr, Havel and Arend were united in a single discursive space. Almost all the texts were published for the first time in Russian, and some of the authors, for example, Fanon or Che Guevara, were still generally known to the Russian reader either indirectly or unilaterally. By and large, this also applies to Lukács, a figure of the first magnitude on the philosophical horizon of the twentieth century, who is completely insufficiently known among us. Lukács, who combined different thought traditions and is associated for the majority with unorthodox Marxism, significantly expanded the philosophical, political and, more broadly, intellectual spectrum of the anthology; It is no coincidence that his articles and letters published in the book are accompanied by a separate commentary by S. N. Zemlyanoy.” (R. G. Apresyan)
