Frontmatter -- Contents -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Algebraic multilevel iteration methods -- 3. Robust AMLI algorithms: Conforming linear finite elements -- 4. Robust AMLI algorithms: Nonconforming linear finite elements -- 5. Schur complement based multilevel preconditioners -- 6. Algebraic multigrid (AMG) -- 7. Preconditioning of Rannacher-Turek nonconforming FE systems -- 8. AMLI algorithms for discontinuous Galerkin FE problems -- 9. AMLI methods for coupled problems -- 10. Practical issues -- Backmatter

Sommario/riassunto

This book deals with algorithms for the solution of linear systems of



algebraic equations with large-scale sparse matrices, with a focus on problems that are obtained after discretization of partial differential equations using finite element methods. The authors provide a systematic presentation of the recent advances in robust algebraic multilevel methods and algorithms, e.g., the preconditioned conjugate gradient method, algebraic multilevel iteration (AMLI) preconditioners, the classical algebraic multigrid (AMG) method and its recent modifications, namely AMG using element interpolation (AMGe) and AMG based on smoothed aggregation. The first six chapters can serve as a short introductory course on the theory of AMLI methods and algorithms. The next part of the monograph is devoted to more advanced topics, including the description of new generation AMG methods, AMLI methods for discontinuous Galerkin systems, looking-free algorithms for coupled problems etc., ending with important practical issues of implementation and challenging applications.  This second part is addressed to some more experienced students and practitioners and can be used to complete a more advanced course on robust AMLI and AMG methods and their efficient application. This book is intended for mathematicians, engineers, natural scientists etc.

Sommario/riassunto

Clinical Care Pathways in Andrology provides a valuable resource for understanding clinical decision-making in the context of the predominant male reproductive and sexual disorders for which patients commonly seek evaluation and treatment. Conditions that are less well-known but can be severely bothersome to patients, such as penile sensory loss, are also presented. Based on clinical evidence and expert consensus, practical clinical care pathways are featured for each condition.  Each clinical care pathway consists of an algorithm that



delineates the overall structure of decision-making for each condition, describes initial clinical presentations, and guides the reader through diagnostic testing and treatment.  Furthermore, the volume features annotations that develop key andrological concepts and provide explanations for each step in diagnosis and management.    Designed for clarity and ease of use, Clinical Care Pathways in Andrology is a practical and valuable reference for urologists, primary care physicians, and residents who are not specialty trained in andrology.
