D.L. Colton: Solution of boundary value problems by the method of integral operators. 1976, 160 pages, $ 10.00. Fearon-Pitman Publishers Inc., 6 Davis Drive, Belmont, CA 94002 USA. This book provides for the first time the recent development of the theory of integral operators for parabolic equations in one and two space variables. An authoritative introduction to the use of function theoretic methods in solving boundary value and initial-boundary value problems for partial differential equations. The emphasis is on constructive methods of solution, and while designed as a companion volume to the author’s earlier work in this series, it can be read independently. Of interest to professional and graduate mathematicians and physicists, and those concerned with fluid dynamics, heat conduction and wave propagation. Contents: Introduction/Elliptic equations in two independent variables: Analytic continuation; Integral operators; Complete families of solutions; the Bergman Kernal function; Inverse methods in compressible fluid flow/Parabolic equations in one space variable; Integral operators; Reflection principles; Initial-boundary value problems/Parabolic equations in two space variables: Integral operators and the Riemann function; Complete families of solutions; the inverse Stefan problem/The method of ascent for elliptic equations: Interior domains; Exterior domains; The inverse scattering problem/Appendix: a numerical example/Refer-

This book describes methods for dealing with sparsity, and explains (without unnecessary mathematics) the numerical and computational programming techniques which can be applied to problems containing a large number of sparse simultaneous equations. The authors believe that the use of the techniques described here will considerably improve computational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and increase the practical importance of analysis, in a wide range of engineering and non-engineering applications. Of interest to practising systems analysts and engineers in electrical, mechanical, civil,
