Average-Case Analysis of Numerical Problems ISBN: 9783540455929 Platform/Publisher: SpringerLink / Springer Berlin Heidelberg Digital rights:Users: unlimited; Printing: unlimited; Download: unlimited Subjects: Mathematics and Statistics;
The average-case analysis of numerical problems is the counterpart of the more traditional worst-case approach. The analysis of average error and cost leads to new insight on numerical problems as well as to new algorithms. The book provides a survey of results that were mainly obtained during the last 10 years and also contains new results. The problems under consideration include approximation/optimal recovery and numerical integration of univariate and multivariate functions as well as zero-finding and global optimization. Background material, e.g. on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and random fields, is provided.
