Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores domain decomposition methods that solve large linear systems of equations arising from elliptic boundary value problems. These equations often emerge when discretizing partial differential equations used in fluid dynamics, elasticity, and other important applications. The author discusses how to efficiently solve these problems using domain decomposition methods on parallel computers. The book provides a comprehensive framework for designing and analyzing these methods, and it highlights the importance of using subspaces and projections to accelerate convergence. The author also explores the use of iterative substructuring methods, which do not use any overlap between subregions, and shows how they can be used to obtain fast rates of convergence. Overall, this book offers a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working on the numerical solution of partial differential equations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. BLOOD ON THE I-90 is second in a series of three novels in which detectives Melanie Abrams and Tom Lavin rule as feared and respected modern-day crime-busters. The plot unfolds in the city of Buffalo, NY, in the fall of 2029, when Melanie Abrams, a 39-year-old Buffalo PD detective, becomes the victim of a murderous stalker whose calling card is explosives. As the trail goes cold in Buffalo, Abrams, deliberately playing into her stalker's hands, heads to Boston after enlisting the help of her ex-partner, Tommy Lavin-a boozing, over-the-hill, much-feared legend who comes roaring out of retirement to hunt down and kill the suspect. Traveling on the I-90 to Boston, the couple encounters more mayhem; brutally accosted by bogus State Police, they are forced into hiding. Abrams flees to the upscale island of Puckshaw-Boston's playground for the rich and famous-where she takes an apartment alone, and prepares to flush out the killer. The plot reaches a chaotic climax when a colorful cast of characters comes together to apprehend the demonic stalker-dead or alive. Unpredictably thrilling and filled with suspense, BLOOD ON THE I-90 is further engrossing by its secondary plot: the poignant, tender, and humorous relationship that develops between Tom Lavin-burley, over-the-hill detective-and Melanie Abrams-young, modern crime-buster.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. PUCKSHAW is a stirring narrative, rich in detail and colorful in characterization. It traces the fate of an American family that is suddenly cast under the harsh glare of notoriety when the shocking journals of Henry Macguire, its deceased patriarch, are posthumously published by his son. His journals detail his arrival on Puckshaw in 1971, when as a young reporter, he stumbled upon the tiny, sizzling island-the summer haven for Boston's elite. Sun-washed and wildly unabashed, the island was resplendent with old-money patriarchs and their attending offspring of ex-presidents, sitting senators and their endless wives and children. Henry, fascinated by island life, makes Puckshaw his home-remaining on the island for twenty-five years and confiding in his journals on a daily basis. Journals that would one-day define his legacy and turn an island upside-down. While covering a tragic story involving two summer residents who had drowned under unusual circumstances, Henry indulges in a destructive obsession. His journals reveal his increasingly erratic behavior and bizarre attachment to the victims. Sensing his own demise, he attempts to reconnect with his long-abandoned son. After Henry's death, his estranged son enjoys sixteen years of peace and prosperity on the island before his teenage sons are cast as suspects in the salacious bludgeoning of a fellow student. With the Macguire reputation in shambles, Henry's descendents would struggle for decades to restore the name to its earlier splendor, thereby assuring it a proud place in the history of a tiny island called Puckshaw.
