Riemann-Hilbert Problems, Their Numerical Solution, and the Computation of Nonlinear Special Functions

Thomas Trogdon is an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He was awarded the 2014 SIAM Richard C. DiPrima Prize for his dissertation, which shares its title with this book. He has published in the fields of numerical analysis, approximation theory, optical physics, integrable systems, partial differential equations and random matrix theory. Sheehan Olver is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney. Dr Olver was awarded the 2012 Adams Prize for his work on the numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems. He has published in the fields of numerical analysis, approximation theory, integrable systems, oscillatory integrals, spectral methods and random matrix theory.
