Needless to say that, in view of Ostrowski’s immense and vastly diverse mathematical legacy, this can be done only in a most summary fashion. Further literature on Ostrowski can be found in some of the references at the end of this a...

I am interested in applications of analysis in which mathematical formulations with given properties have to be constructed for a set of governing equations, with the general goal of designing a robust numerical method. My recent work is in the area of numerical general relativity where...
