Since my research area is in applied mathematics it was not difficult for me to use existing software as well as produce my own. It has been desirable for students to use computer softwares as a facilitating tool in many courses. I have been attending seminars and conferences as well as constantly reviewing the developments in my field in order to have a broad knowledge of mathematical subjects. I am trying to be aware of its increasing relevance in our technological age, and be able to stimulate my students to understand and possibly use some of these concepts in their future careers. I am also concerned with the communication of these ideas to students. Throughout the course I try to make the concepts as understandable as possible by giving examples that help them relate these ideas to topics in that course. I have also provided opportunities to my students in which they can express their views to the class to sharpen their skills in discovering and communicating the concepts. I have used my teaching effectiveness throughout my teaching career. I have also produced four textbooks to be used by students in Mathematics, Economics, Physics, Engineering, and the applied sciences. Several more on the same areas have been submitted. I have also reviewed a Numerical Analysis textbook entitled ``Introduction to Numerical Analysis", by Kendall Atkinson, University of Iowa, published by John Wiley and Sons (1992). The author in his preface recognizes and praises my talents in teaching and expresses his gratitude for my contribution in the improvement of the book. His textbook is considered to be the best book in Numerical Analysis in this country. I have assisted several students to be accepted in graduate programs at the top universities in this country. I have also helped them find jobs and still keep in contact with them and their careers after they leave the University. \bigskip \noindent 6. {\bf AWARDS, HONORS AND AFFILIATIONS} \medskip \noindent (A) {\bf Conference Chairman} \medskip Applied Mathematics Section Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Association of America meeting, held at San Francisco, January 1991. \medskip \noindent (B) {\bf Outstanding Graduation Record} \medskip I was able to finish both my M.S.\ and Ph.D.\ degrees at the University of Georgia at the record time of two years which has not been broken yet. \medskip \noindent (C) {\bf National-International Recognition} \medskip A total of 91 scientists from five continents have requested reprints of 91\% of my published works so far.

Prerequisites for using the text are calculus, linear algebra, elements of functional analysis, and the fundamentals of differential equations. Students with some knowledge of the principles of numerical analysis and optimization will have an advantage, since the general schemes and concepts can be easily followed if particular methods, special cases, are already known. However, such knowledge is not essential in understanding the material of this book. A large number of problems in applied mathematics and also in engineering are solved by finding the solutions of certain equations. For example, dynamic systems are mathematically modeled by differences or differential equations, and their solutions usually represent the states of the systems. For the sake of simplicity, assume that a time-invariant system is driven by the equation $\dot{x} =f(x)$, where $x$ is the state. Then the equilibrium states are determined by solving the equation $f(x) =0$. Similar equations are used in the case of discrete systems. The unknowns of engineering equations can be functions (difference, differential, and integral equations), vectors (systems of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations), or real or complex numbers (single algebraic equations with single unknowns). Except in special cases, the most commonly used solution methods are iterative --- when starting from one or several initial approximations a sequence is constructed that converges to a solution of the equation. Iteration methods are also applied for solving optimization problems. In such cases, the iteration sequences converge to an optimal solution of the problem at hand. Since all of these methods have the same recursive structure, they can be introduced and discussed in a general framework. In recent years, the study of general iteration schemes has included a substantial effort to identify properties of iteration schemes that will guarantee their convergence in some sense. A number of these results have used an abstract iteration scheme that consists of the recursive application of a point-to-set mapping. In this book, we are concerned with these types of results. Each chapter contains several new theoretical results and important applications in engineering, in dynamic economic systems, in input--output systems, in the solution of nonlinear and linear differential equations, and in optimization problems. Chapter 1 gives an outline of general iteration schemes in which the convergence of such schemes is examined. We also show that our conditions are very general: most classical results can be obtained as special cases and, if the conditions are weakened slightly, then our results may not hold. In Chapter 2 the discrete time-scale Liapunov theory is extended to time dependent, higher order, nonlinear differential equations. In addition, the speed of convergence is estimated in most cases. The monotone convergence to the solution is examined in Chapter 3 and comparison theorems are proved in Chapter 4. It is also shown that our results generalize well-known classical theorems such as the contraction mapping principle, the lemma of Kantorovich, the famous Gronwall lemma, and the well-known stability theorem of Uzawa. Chapter 5 examines conditions for the convergence of special single-step methods such as Newton's method, modified Newton's method, and Newton-like methods generated by point-to-point mappings in a Banach space setting. The speed of convergence of such methods is examined using the theory of majorants and a method called ``continuous induction", which builds on a special variant of Banach's closed graph theorem. Finally, Chapter 6 examines conditions for monotone convergence of special single-step methods such as Newton's method, Newton-like methods, and secant methods generated by point-to-point mappings in a partially ordered space setting. At the end of each chapter, case studies and numerical examples are presented from different fields of engineering and economy. \medskip 3. {\it The Theory and Application of Abstract Polynomial Equations} \smallskip My goal in the text is to present new and important old results about polynomial equations as well as an analysis of general new and efficient iterative methods for their numerical solution in various very general space settings. To achieve this goal we made the text as self-contained as possible by proving all the results in great detail. Exercises have been added at the end of each chapter that complement the material in the sense that most of them can be considered really to be results (theorems, propositions, etc.) that we decided not to include in the main body of each chapter. Several applications of our results are given for the solution of integral as well as differential equations throughout every chapter. Abstract polynomial equations are evidently systems of algebraic polynomial equations. Polynomial systems can arise directly in applications, or be approximations to equations involving operators having a power series expansion at a certain point. Another source of polynomial systems is the discretization of polynomial equations taking place when a differential or an integral equation is solved. Finite polynomial systems can be obtained by taking a segment of an infinite system, or by other approximation techniques applied to equations in infinite dimensional space. We have provided material that can be used on the one hand as a required text in the following graduate study areas: Advanced Numerical Analysis, Numerical Functional Analysis, Functional Analysis and Approximation Theory. On the other hand, the text can be recommended for a graduate integral or differential equations course. Moreover, to make the work useful as a reference source, literature citations will be supplied at the end of each chapter with possible extensions of the facts contained here or open problems. We will use graphics and exercises designed to allow students to apply the latest technology. In addition, the text will end with a very updated and comprehensive bibliography in the field. The main prerequisite for the reader is the material covered in: advanced calculus, second course in numerical-functional analysis and a first course in algebra and integral-differential equations. A comprehensive modern presentation of the subject to be described here appears to be needed due to the rapid growth in this field and should benefit not only those working in the field, but also those interested in, or in need of, information about specific results or techniques. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 cover special cases of nonlinear operator equations. In particular the solution of polynomial operator equations of positive integer degree $n$ is discussed. The so-called polynomial operators are a natural generalization of linear operators. Equations in such operators are the linear space analog of ordinary polynomials in one or several variables over the fields of real or complex numbers. Such equations encompass a broad spectrum of applied problems including all linear equations. Often the polynomial nature of many nonlinear problems goes unrecognized by researchers. This is most likely due to the fact that unlike polynomials in a single variable, polynomial operators have received little attention. It must certainly be mentioned that existence theory is far from complete and what little is there is confined to local small solutions in neighborhoods which are often of very small radius. Here an attempt is made to partially fill this space by doing the following: \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] Numerical methods for approximating distinct solutions of quadratic $(n =2)$ (in Chapters 1 and 2) and polynomial equations $(n \geq 2)$ (in Chapter 3) are given; \item[(b)] Results on global existence theorems not related with contractions are provided; \item[(c)] Moreover for those of a qualitative rather than computational frame of mind, it has been suggested that polynomial operators should carry a Galois theory. In an attempt to inform and contribute in this area we have provided our results at the end of each chapter. \end{enumerate} Chapter 4 deals with polynomial integral as well as polynomial differential equations appearing in radiative transfer, heat transfer, neutron transport, electromechanical networks, elasticity and other areas. In particular, results on the various Chandrasekhar equations (Nobel Prize of Physics, 1983) are given using Chapters 1--3. These results are demonstrated through the examination of different cases. In Chapter 5 we study the Weierstrass theorem, Matrix representations, Lagrange and Hermite interpolation, completely continuous multilinear operators, and the bounds of polynomial equations in the following settings: Banach space, Banach algebra and Hilbert space. Finally in Chapter 6 we provide general methods for solving operator equations. In particular we use inexact Newton-like methods to approximate solutions of nonlinear operator equations in Banach space. We also show how to use these general methods to solve polynomial equations. \medskip 6. {\it A Survey of Efficient Numerical Methods and Applications} \smallskip Our goal in this textbook is to present a survey of new, and important old results about equations as well as an analysis of new and efficient iterative methods for their numerical solution in various space settings. To achieve this goal, we made the textbook as self-contained as possible by providing all the results in great detail. Exercises have been added at the end of each chapter that complement the material. Some of them are results (Theorems, Propositions, etc.) that we decided not to include in the main body of each chapter. Several applications of our results are given for the solution of integral as well as differential equations throughout every chapter. We have provided material that can be used by undergraduate students at their senior year as well as researchers interested in the following study areas: Advanced Numerical Analysis, Numerical Functional Analysis, Functional Analysis Approximation Theory, Integral and Differential Equations, and all computational areas of Engineering, Economics and Statistics. Moreover, we make the work useful as a reference source, literature citations have been supplied at the end of each chapter with possible extensions of the facts contained here or open problems. The exercises are designed to allow readers to apply the latest technology. In addition, the textbook ends with a very updated and comprehensive bibliography in the field. The main prerequisite for the reader is the material covered in: Advanced Calculus, Advanced Course in Analysis, second course in Numerical-Functional Analysis and a first course in Algebra and Integral-Differential Equations. A comprehensive modern presentation of the Numerical Methods described here appears to be needed due to the rapid growth in this field and should benefit not only those working in the area, but also those interested in, or in need of, information about specific results or techniques. We use: (E) to denote an equation of the form $$ F(x) =0 \eqno({\rm E}) $$ defined on spaces to be specified each time; (N) denotes Newton's method $$ x_{n +1} =x_n -F'(x_n )^{-1} F(x_n )\quad (n\geq 0), \eqno({\rm N}) $$ notation (S) denotes Secant method $$ x_{n +1} =x_n - [x_n ,x_{n -1}]^{-1} F(x_n )\quad (n\geq 0), \eqno({\rm S}) $$ whereas by $[x_n ,x_{n-1}]$ we mean $[x_n ,x_{n -1};F]$; and finally (NL) denotes Newton-like method $$ x_{n +1}= x_n -A(x_n )^{-1} F(x_n )\quad (n\geq 0). \eqno({\rm NL}) $$ Chapter 1 serves as an introduction for the rest of the chapters. Topics related with partially ordered topological spaces are covered here. Moreover, divided differences in linear as well as in Banach spaces are being discussed. Furthermore, divided differences, Fr\'echet derivatives, and the relationship between them is being investigated. Several unpublished results have also been added demonstrating how to select divided differences, Fr\'echet derivatives satisfying Lipschitz conditions or certain new natural monotone estimates similar but not identical to conditions already in the literature of the form, e.g., $$ [x,y] \leq [u,v] \quad \mbox{for} \ x\leq u \ \ \mbox{and} \ \ y\leq v. $$ These results are developed, on the one hand because they are needed for the convergence theorems in Chapters 2--4 that follow, and on the other hand because they have an interest of their own. Chapter 2 deals with the following concern: Applying Newton methods to solve nonlinear operator equations of the form $F(x)=0$ in a Banach space amounts to calculating two scalar constants and one scalar function over the positive real line. This is due to the fact that conditions on the Fr\'echet-derivative $F'$ of $F$ of the form $$ \| F' (x) -F'(y)\| \leq L\| x-y\| , \ \ \mbox{or} \ \| F'(x) -F'(y)\|\leq K(r)\| x-y\| $$ or more recently by us $\| F'(x +h)-F' (x)\| \leq A(r,\| h\| )$ for all $x,y$ in a certain ball centered at a fixed point $x_0$, of radius $R>0$ with $0 \leq r\leq R$ and $\| h\| \leq R-r$ have been used for the convergence analysis to follow. The constants are of the form $a =\| F' (x_0 )^{-1}\|$ and $b = \| F'(x_0 )^{-1} F(x_0)\|$. The task of computing the constants $L$, $a$, $b$ as well as the functions $K(r)$ and $A(r,t)$ is carried out for integral operators $F$ in the spaces $X =C$, $L_p$ $(1\leq p <\infty )$ and $L_\infty$. After going through the first two chapters, we can undertake the main goal discussed in the rest of the text. Chapter 3 covers the problem of approximating a locally (or globally) unique solution of the operator equation $F(x) =0$ in the following settings: Banach space, Banach algebra, Hilbert space, Partially ordered Topological and Euclidean space. In the first four sections, convergence results are given using Newton (N), Secant (S) as well as Newton-like methods (NL) under conditions on the divided differences, Fr\'echet derivatives discussed in the first two chapters. Several results have been provided to improve upon the ones already in the literature by considering cases. The following have been done: \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] Refined proofs using the same techniques are given; \item[(b)] Different techniques have been applied; \item[(c)] New techniques have been used; \item[(d)] New results have been discovered. \end{enumerate} \noindent In Section 5 the monotone convergence of methods (N), (S) and (NL) is discussed. Until Section 5, two classes of convergence theorems are discussed: theorems of essentially Kantorovich-type and global theorems based on monotonicity considerations. In Section 5 however a general unifying structure for the convergence analysis which is strong enough to derive both types of theorems from a basic theorem is discussed. In Sections 6 and 7 results on rates of convergence as well as $Q$- and $R$-orders are being given respectively. Once recent results of others in this area have been discussed, we show how to improve upon them. Chapter 4 deals with the problem discussed already in Chapter 3, but two-step Newton methods are employed as an attempt to improve upon the order of convergence and achieve the highest possible computational efficiency. The flow of Chapter 3 is followed here also. In mose cases the superiority of these over single-step methods is being demonstrated. \bigskip \noindent 12. {\bf BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PAPERS AS LISTED IN 4(I)} \medskip The papers concern topics included in the list of research areas listed in 4(I). The so-called polynomial operators are a natural generalization of linear operators. Equations in such operators are the linear space analog of ordinary polynomials in one or several variables over the fields of real or complex numbers. Such equations encompass a broad spectrum of applied problems including all linear equations. Often the polynomial nature of many non-linear problems goes unrecognized by researchers. This is most likely due to the fact that unlike polynomials in a single variable, polynomial operators have received little attention. Whether this situation is due to an inherent intractability of these operators or to simple oversight remains to be seen. Hopefully, one should be able to exploit their semi-linear character to wrest more extensive results for these equations than one can obtain in the general non-linear setting. Examples of equations involving polynomial operators can be found in the literature. My contribution in this area can be found in papers \#3, 4, 6--12, 16, 22, 23, 25, 35, 84. Many of the equations of elasticity theory are of this type \#3, 4. The problem discussed there pertains to the buckling of a thin shallow spherical shell clamped at the edge and under uniform external pressure. Some equations in heat transfer, kinetic theory of gases and neutron transport, including the famous S.\ Chandrasekhar (Nobel in Physics, 1983) integral equation are of quadratic type. Numerical methods for finding small or large solutions of the above equations and their variations as well as results on the number of solutions of the above equations can be found in papers \#1--4, 21, 24, 37, 55, 85, 99. Some pursuit and bending of beams problems can be formulated as polynomial equations. My investigations on such equations can be found in paper \#6. Paper \#11 contains results on the study of feedback systems containing an arbitrary finite number of time-varying amplifiers and the study of electromechanical networks containing an arbitrary number of time-varying nonlinear dissipative elements. Scientists that have worked in this area agree that much work, both of theoretical and computational nature, remains to be done on polynomials in a normed linear space. A summary of some of the remaining problems can be found in my second and third book (see 4(G)). It must certainly be mentioned that the existence theory is far from complete and what little is there it is confined to local small solutions in neighborhoods which are often of very small radius \#1--5, 7--9, 13, 14, 17, 26, 30, 33. In my papers \#5, 6, 8, 10, 23, 30, 33, 34, 37, 42, 69, 72, I have provided numerical methods for approximating distinct solutions of polynomial equations under various hypotheses. As far as I know the above-mentioned authors are the only researchers that have worked on global exitence theorems not related with contractions. My contribution in this area is contained in papers \#7, 14, 23, 34, 35, 44, 69. Moreover for those of a qualitative rather than computational frame of mind, it has been suggested that polynomial operators should carry a Galois theory. Such a theory, should it exist, may be very limited, but nonetheless, interesting. The pessimistic note is prompted by the fact that a complete general spectral theory does not exist for polynomial operators. In an attempt to produce such a theory at least the way an analyst understands it, I wrote the relevant papers \#18, 23, 34, 35, 45. The most important iterative procedures for solving nonlinear equations in a Banach space are undoubtedly the so-called Newton-like methods. Indeed, L.V.\ Kantorovich has given sufficient conditions for the quadratic convergence of Newton's iteration to a locally unique solution of the abstract nonlinear equation in Banach space. His conditions are in some sense the best possible. For the scalar case these conditions coincide with those given earlier by A.I.\ Ostrowski. Simple sharp apriori estimates were given independently (by different methods) by W.B.\ Gragg and R.A.\ Tapia. The method of nondiscrete mathematical induction was used later by V.\ Ptak, F.\ Potra, X.\ Chen, T.\ Yamamoto, P.\ Zabrejko, D.\ Ngyen, I.\ Moret et al.; this method yields not only sharp apriori estimates but also convergence proofs through the induction theorem. This method, in which the rate of convergence is now a function and not a number, is closely related with the closed graph theorem. My contribution in this area can be found in the papers \#19, 20, 31, 40, 44, 50, 51, 57, 60, 61, 63, 65, 68, 70, 81, 82, 83, 89, 90, 92, 95, 96, 97, 101, 125, 129, 145. One of the basic assumptions for the use of Newton's method is the condition that the Fr\'echet derivative of the nonlinear operator involved be Fr\'echet-differentiable. There are however interesting differential equations and singular integral equations (see, for example, the work of Etzio Venturino) where the nonlinear operator is only H\"older continuous. It turns out that the error analysis of Newton-like methods changes dramatically and the results obtained by the above authors do not hold in this setting. My contribution in this area can be found in the papers \#19, 20, 31, 32, 38, 63, 68, 71, 100. Papers \#65, 73, 104, 106 deal with the solutions of nonlinear operator equations containing a nondifferentiable term. Papers \#61, 80, 89, 101, 104, 113 deal with the approximation of implicit functions. Papers \#60, 66, 79, 81, 95, 104 deal with projection methods for the approximate solution of nonlinear equations. Papers \#64, 125, 143 deal with iterative procedures for the solution of nonlinear equations in generalized Banach spaces. Papers \#88, 114, 128, 130, 152 deal with inexact iterative procedures. Papers \#54, 56, 67, 98, 124 deal with the solution of nonlinear operator equations and their discretizations in relation with the mesh-independence principle. Papers \#82, 105, 116 deal with the solution of linear and nonlinear perturbed two-point boundary value problems with left, right and interior boundary layers. I have applied the above numerical methods, in particular Newton's and its variations to concrete integral equations arising in radiative transfer. See, for example, papers \#21, 37. Since the numerical solution of integral equations is closed related to compact operators, I tried in the papers \#28, 39, 53, 74 to find some results relating numerical methods and compactness. Work on this subject has already been conducted (see, e.g., the work of P.\ Anselone and K.\ Atkinson), but the results so obtained are too general or too particular to be used for my purposes. Papers \#91, 121, 131, 132, 133, 138, 140, 149, 153--218 deal with the convergence and error analysis of multipoint iterative methods in Banach spaces. Paper \#103 deals with the introduction of an optimization algorithm based on the gradient projection technique and the Karmarkar's projective scaling method for linear programming. Paper \#123 (statistics) deals with t-estimates of parameters of general nonlinear models in finite dimensional spaces. The method is highly insensitive to outliers. It can also be applied to solve a system of nonlinear equations. Papers \#62, 74, 76, 93, 94, 107, 134, 139 (mathematical economics) deal with the convergence of iteration schemes generated by the recursive application of a point-to-set mapping. Our results have been applied to solve dynamic economic as well as input--output systems. The rest of the papers involve nondifferentiable operator equations on genealized Banach spaces with a convergence structure and inexact Newton methods, as well as iterative procedures using outer or generalized inverses. Globally convergent inexact Newton methods have also been studied. In particular sufficient conditions have been imposed on the residuals in order to achieve the usual orders of convergence. We have observed that error bounds can be improved and the radius of convergence for Newton's method can be enlarged if the Fr\'echet derivative of the operator involved is sufficiently many times differentiable. \end{document} .
