This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computing, LSSC 2001, held in Sozopol, Bulgaria, in June 2001.
The 7 invited full papers and 45 selected revised papers were carefully reviewed for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on robust preconditioning algorithms, Monte-Carlo methods, advanced programming environments for scientific computing, large-scale computations in air pollution modeling, large-scale computations in mechanical engineering, and numerical methods for incompressible flow.
