Abstract
Co-authored by four leading scientists from academia and industry, Numerical Recipes Third Edition starts with basic mathematics and computer science and proceeds to complete, working routines. Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, this new edition incorporates more than 400 Numerical Recipes routines, many of them new or upgraded. The executable C++ code, now printed in color for easy reading, adopts an object-oriented style particularly suited to scientific applications. The whole book is presented in the informal, easy-to-read style that made earlier editions so popular. Please visit www.nr.com or www.cambridge.org/us/numericalrecipes for more details. New key features: 2 new chapters, 25 new sections, 25% longer than Second Edition Thorough upgrades throughout the text Over 100 completely new routines and upgrades of many more. New Classification and Inference chapter, including Gaussian mixture models, HMMs, hierarchical clustering, Support Vector MachinesNew Computational Geometry chapter covers KD trees, quad- and octrees, Delaunay triangulation, and algorithms for lines, polygons, triangles, and spheres New sections include interior point methods for linear programming, Monte Carlo Markov Chains, spectral and pseudospectral methods for PDEs, and many new statistical distributions An expanded treatment of ODEs with completely new routines Plus comprehensive coverage of linear algebra, interpolation, special functions, random numbers, nonlinear sets of equations, optimization, eigensystems, Fourier methods and wavelets, statistical tests, ODEs and PDEs, integral equations, and inverse theory And much, much more!

High-order solution-adaptive central essentially non-oscillatory (CENO) method for viscous flows

TL;DR: A high-order, central, essentially non-oscillatory (CENO), finite-volume scheme in combination with a block-based adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithm is proposed for solution of the Navier-Stokes equations on body-fitted multi-block mesh.

Monte Carlo Strength Evaluation: Fast and Reliable Password Checking

TL;DR: A novel method to estimate the number of guesses needed to find a password using modern attacks is proposed, which requires little resources, applies to a wide set of probabilistic models, and is characterised by highly desirable convergence properties.

LanczosNet: Multi-Scale Deep Graph Convolutional Networks

TL;DR: The Lanczos network (LanczosNet) is proposed, which uses the Lanczos algorithm to construct low rank approximations of the graph Laplacian for graph convolution and facilitates both graph kernel learning as well as learning node embeddings.

A novel SVM+NDA model for classification with an application to face recognition

TL;DR: This paper introduces a novel SVM+NDA model which can be viewed as an extension to the SVM by incorporating some partially global information, especially, discriminatory information in the normal direction to the decision boundary.

SKIRT: The design of a suite of input models for Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a suite of components that can be used for the distribution of sources and sinks in radiative transfer codes, and demonstrate that their design using customised random position generators is superior to a simpler design based on a generic black-box random position generator.
