Admired throughout the world, Toni Morrison’s powerful voice resounds in special ways Brazil, where she conducted part of her research for Beloved –a novel considered an interrogation about legacy slavery countries like Brazil and USA. Initially labeled «politically correct» by Brazilian media, works have finally achieved great visibility twenty-first century thanks to translations, a wide read...

We apply our recent preconditioning techniques to the solution of linear systems of equations and computing determinants. We combine these techniques with the Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula, its new variations, aggregation, iterative refinement, and advanced algorithms that rapidly compute sums and products either error-free or with the desired high accuracy. Our theoretical and experimental...

A certain functional–difference equation that Runyon encountered when analyzing a queuing system was solved in a combined effort of Morrison, Carlitz, and Riordan. We simplify that analysis by exclusively using generating functions, in particular the kernel method, and the Lagrange inversion formula.

In this paper, we propose a continuous time model for modeling the spread of HIV in a network of prisons. We give some sufficient conditions for the equilibrium points of the system to be stable. We also develop an efficient algorithm based on Newton’s method and the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury Formula for computing the equilibrium values of the infectives in each prison.
