Iterative methods for sparse linear systems (1st edition) This book, originally published in 1996 by PWS, is now out of print. PWS (and now ITP) no longer owns the copyright. I revised the manuscript and I am making the post script available for those who want to use it. A new edition of this book is now available from SIAM, see below.
- Compressed (gzip) tar file
- zipped (zip) post-script files
- zipped (zip) PDF files
- Access to all files (compressed and uncompressed) from the ftp directory.
Once you download the files you will need to unpack them and you will find 4 separate PDF files (iter1.pdf, iter2.pdf, iter3.pdf, iter4.pdf). You can also get directly the individual PDF or post-script files (fourth of the options given above).
Iterative methods for sparse linear systems (2nd edition) This second edition of the above book is available from SIAM . In this new edition, I revised all chapters by incorporating recent developments, so the book has seen a sizable expansion from the first edition. At the same time I also removed some of the topics that have become less important. A notable addition is a chapter on multigrid techniques. My sincere apologies for the rather high price [decided by SIAM]. The first edition posted above will remain on my web-site (as is). The table of contents of the new edition can be accessed: post-script or PDF .
Two distinct erratas are available for this book. One was sent in April 2004 to the publisher at the occasion of the second printing and the other was sent in May 2007 at the occasion of the 3rd printing.
- Errata 1 (pdf)
- Errata 2 (pdf)
Numerical Methods for Large Eigenvalue Problems This book was originally published by Manchester University Press (Oxford rd, Manchester, UK) in 1992 -- (ISBN 0 7190 3386 1) and in the US under Halstead Press (John Wiley, ISBN 0 470 21820 7).
