This book explores the use of the concept of biorthogonality and discusses the various recurrence relations for the generalizations of the method of moments, the method of Lanczos, and the biconjugate gradient method. It is helpful for researchers in numerical analysis and approximation theory.

This book paints a fresco of the field of extrapolation and rational approximation over the last several centuries to the present through the works of their primary contributors. It can serve as an introduction to the topics covered, including extrapolation methods, Padé approximation, orthogonal polynomials, continued fractions, Lanczos-type methods etc.; it also provides in depth discussion of the many links between these subjects.A highlight of this book is the presentation of t...

Walter Gautschi has written extensively on topics ranging from special functions, quadrature and orthogonal polynomials to difference and differential equations, software implementations, and the history of mathematics. He is world renowned for his pioneering work in numerical analysis and constructive orthogonal polynomials, including a definitive textbook in the former, and a monograph in the latter area.This three-volume set, Walter Gautschi: Selected Works with Commentaries...
