This paper presents an overview of the multifrontal method for the solution of large sparse symmetric positive definite linear systems. The method is formulated in terms of frontal matrices, update ...

A numerical solution of the quadratic matrix equations associated with a nonsingular M-matrix by using the alternately linearized implicit iteration method is considered. An iteration method for ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...
