Sparsity and its Applications

This volume is based on a series of lectures prepared by a group of internationally-renowned experts in the field for a meeting on the general theme of 'Sparsity and its Applications' at the University of Technology, Loughborough, in April 1983. An introductory section briefly surveys the field of sparsity research and summarises the main ideas discussed in each contribution. The contributions themselves examine the design, analysis, implementation, and application of computer algorithms, with a view to producing mathematical software which can be used as an efficent tool in different areas of science and engineering technology.
