A computer center simulation project
Today's computation centers are based on rapidly changing technologies of hardware and software systems. It is difficult, therefore, to base decisions on experience; in…
Finding zeros of a polynomial by the Q-D algorithm
A method which finds simultaneously all the zeros of a polynomial, developed by H. Rutishauser, has been tested on a number of polynomials with real coefficients. This…
Applications of differential equations in general problem solving
A large class of problems leading to digital computer processing can be formulated in terms of the numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations.…
