Biography
Daniele Bertaccini, Ph.D is currently a professor at Università di Roma Tor Vergata. Fabio Durastante, Ph.D is a postdoctoral researcher. Their research interests are mainly the large and sparse and/or structured linear systems arising in the numerical solution of partial and fractional differential equations with their applications in fluid dynamics, optimization and imaging.
The book can be used for a Master and/or Ph.D. level graduate course in science and engineering and can be useful to researchers from any eld of engineering, health, physical, chemical and biological sciences.
