High technology industries are in desperate need for adequate tools to assess the validity of simulations produced by ever faster computers for perennial unstable problems. In order to meet these industrial expectations, applied mathematicians are facing a formidable challenge summarized by these words — nonlinearity and coupling. This book is unique as it proposes truly original solutions: (1) Using hypercomputation in quadratic algebras, as opposed to the traditional use of linear vector spaces in the 20th century; (2) complementing the classical linear logic by the complex logic which expresses the creative potential of the complex plane.The book illustrates how qualitative computing has been the driving force behind the evolution of mathematics since Pythagoras presented the first incompleteness result about the irrationality of √2. The celebrated results of Gödel and Turing are but modern versions of the same idea: the classical logic of Aristotle is too limited to capture the dynamics of nonlinear computation. Mathematics provides us with the missing tool, the organic logic, which is aptly tailored to model the dynamics of nonlinearity. This logic will be the core of the “Mathematics for Life” to be developed during this century.

Introduction to Qualitative Computing; Hypercomputation in Dickson Algebras; Scales of Complexity and Linear Reachability; Singular Values for the Multiplication Maps; Computation Beyond Classical Logic; Complexification of the Arithmetic; Homotopic Deviation in Linear Algebra; The Discrete and the Continuous; Arithmetic in the Alternative Dickson Division Algebras; The Real and the Complex.
Numerical Analysis and Its Applications
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Its Applications, NAA 2008, held in Lozenetz, Bulgaria in June 2008. The 61 revised full papers presented together with 13 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers address all current aspects of numerical analysis and discuss a wide range of problems concerning recent achievements in physics, chemistry, engineering, and economics. A special focus is given to numerical approximation and computational geometry, numerical linear algebra and numerical solution of transcendental equations, numerical methods for differential equations, numerical modeling, and high performance scientific computing.
