The International Symposium on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic and Validated Numerics SCAN is held biannually, the fourth conference took place in Wuppertal 1995.
This volume contains contributions from outstanding research specialists based on their presentations at SCAN-95. It covers all aspects of scientific computing with validation, starting with the latest developments in the design of floating point units together with algorithms for floating point operations and elementary function evaluations with maximum accuracy. The book continues by treating scientific computing methods for many areas of applied mathematics such as numerical linear algebra, nonlinear equations, global optimization, ordinary and partial differential equations and dynamical systems. Some computer science aspects like complexity are also considered as are examples where validation methods have successfully be used in applications from the engineering sciences.

With prospective contributions by:
G. Alefeld (Karlsruhe), G. Corliss (Milwaukee) and R. Rihm (Karlsruhe), N. Dimitrova (Sofia), B. Dobronets (Krasnoyarsk), G. Heindl (Wuppertal), J. Herzberger (Oldenburg), E. Hyvönen (Espoo), K.-U. Jahn (Leipzig), R. B. Kearfott (Lafayette), V. Kreinovich (El Paso), W. Luther and W. Otten (Duisburg), M. Vrahatis (Patras), S. Markov (Sofia), G. Mayer (Rostock), M. Mrozek (Cracow), J.-M. Muller and A. Tisserand (Lyon), M. Nakao (Fukuoka), M. Plum (Karlsruhe), J. Rohn (Prague), S.M. Rump (Hamburg-Harburg), A. Semenov (Novosibirsk), S. Shary (Krasnoyarsk), Y. Shokin (Novosibirsk), J.
