  • John Todd (a1)
Extract

1. The following sentence occurs in a recent paper ((1), p. 54): we do not understand precisely what it means, but we shall show that the idea behind it can be put on a reasonably quantitative basis: ‘In the vocabulary of solvers of simultaneous equations, the operator (1, −2, 1) tends to lead to ill-conditioning when the number of equations is large.’
