Computer arithmetic and sensitivity of natural measure

For difference equations with bounded, non-periodic solutions, the natural measure of the equation is a useful descriptor of the geometry of the solution. When it exists, it catalogs the density of typical bounded solutions of the equation, and can be used to characterize its dynamics. By their nature, non-periodic solutions evade easy description. Computer methods are usually needed. In case o...

Computer Arithmetic and Numerical Techniques

The course \Computer Arithmetic and Numerical Tech-niques" at the University of Antwerp, is an introductory scientiic computing course for students with a major in computer science or a combined major mathemat-ics/computer science. But it could as well be taught to any exact or applied science student with a reasonable high-school background in mathematics and a fair interest in computers. It i...

Modern Computer Arithmetic

A 2009 IEEE Transactions on Computers (TC) guest editorial called computer arithmetic “the mother of all computer research and application topics.” Today, one might question what computer arithmetic still o ers in terms of advancing scienti c research; after all, multiplication and addition haven’t changed. The answer is surprisingly easy: new architectures, processors, problems, application do...
