Bischof C. Advances in Automatic Differentiation 2008 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This collection covers advances in automatic differentiation theory and practice. Computer scientists and mathematicians will learn about recent developments in automatic differentiation theory as well as mechanisms for the construction of robust and powerful automatic differentiation tools. Computational scientists and engineers will benefit from the discussion of various applications, which provide insight into effective strategies for using automatic differentiation for inverse problems and design optimization.
The Fifth International Conference on Automatic Differentiation held from August 11 to 15, 2008 in Bonn, Germany, is the most recent one in a series that began in Breckenridge, USA, in 1991 and continued in Santa Fe, USA, in 1996, Nice, France, in 2000 and Chicago, USA, in 2004. The 31 papers included in these proceedings reflect the state of the art in automatic differentiation (AD) with respect to theory, applications, and tool development. Overall, 53 authors from institutions in 9 countries contributed, demonstrating the worldwide acceptance of AD technology in computational science
