Download or read book Logarithms and Antilogarithms written by D. Przeworska-Rolewicz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume proposes and explores a new definition of logarithmic mappings as invertible selectors of multifunctions induced by linear operators with domains and ranges in an algebra over a field of characteristic zero. Amongst the applications of logarithmic and antilogarithmic mappings are the solution of linear and nonlinear equations in algebras of square matrices. Some results may also provide numerical algorithms for the approximation of solutions. This book will be of interest to research mathematicians and other scientists of other disciplines whose work involves the solution of equations.
