Symbolic and Numeric Computation
Call for Papers
Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS) is a new journal focusing on foundational
research at the interface between mathematics and computer science.
This special
issue is devoted to publishing (original) research papers on the development
of fundamental algorithms and software tools for symbolic computation, numeric
computation, and their interaction.
Symbolic and numeric computation (SNC) covers two major types of computations
for exact and approximate solutions to theoretical and practical problems.
The design, analysis, and implementation of efficient SNC algorithms have been
always central to research, development, and application of SNC. The growing
demand of speed, accuracy, and reliability in scientific and engineering
computing has been accelerating the merging of symbolic and numeric computations.
It is challenging to effectively combine symbolic computation and numeric
computation to provide more powerful tools to tackle computational problems
that cannot be solved by numeric or symbolic methods alone.
Topics
Specific topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to:
- Symbolic, numeric, and symbolic-numeric algorithms for fundamental computations
(GCD, factorization, simplification, equation solving)
- Algorithms for linear algebra and polynomial algebra (structured matrices,
resultants, Groebner bases, border bases, triangular sets, quantifier
elimination, polynomial system solving)
- Interaction and combination of symbolic and numeric computations (hybrid
computation, guaranteed computation, numeric algebraic geometry, error
analysis and control, interval arithmetic, algebraico-differential techniques)
- Implementation of symbolic and numeric algorithms (data structures, problem
solving environments, parallel/distributed/Internet-based computing, large
expression management, empirical analysis and comparison)
- Applications of symbolic and numeric computation (geometric computing and
reasoning, algorithmic solutions to theoretical and practical problems in
science, engineering, and industry)
In general, MCS also addresses algorithms and complexity, scientific
and engineering computation, complex systems, design and implementation
of software systems, experimental and case studies, and applications of
mathematical methods and tools to outstanding and emerging problems in
applied computer and information sciences.
