Wolfgang Hackbusch

Tensor Spaces and Numerical Tensor Calculus

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Special numerical techniques are already needed to deal with n × n matrices for large n. Tensor data are of size n × n ×...× n=nd, where nd exceeds the computer memory by far. They appear for problems of high spatial dimensions. Since standard methods fail, a particular tensor calculus is needed to treat such problems. This monograph describes the methods by which tensors can be practically treated and shows how numerical operations can be performed. Applications include problems from quantum chemistry, approximation of multivariate functions, solution of partial differential equations, for example with stochastic coefficients, and more. In addition to containing corrections of the unavoidable misprints, this revised second edition includes new parts ranging from single additional statements to new subchapters. The book is mainly addressed to numerical mathematicians and researchers working with high-dimensional data. It also touches problems related to Geometric Algebra.

Rezensionen

"The present book Tensor spaces and numerical tensor calculus by Wolfgang Hackbusch to a large extent fills the gap between theory on finite-dimensional tensor spaces and tensor computations. It also gives a comprehensive overview of numerical tensor computations. ... the book is most useful as a (very rich) source book for researchers in the area. It might also be used as a textbook for a Ph.D. course ... ." (Lars Eldén, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2015)
