Below we list the names of those people who have made a substantial contribution to the design, development and validation of software of the Library (in the designated chapters).
The list includes the names of those who have collaborated with NAG specifically to develop software for the Library; and also the names of the authors of public-domain software that has been adapted for inclusion in the Library. It gives the institutions at which the individuals were working at the time they made their contributions, not necessarily their present addresses. It does not include the names of those – too numerous to mention individually – who have contributed ideas, criticisms, reports of errors, or suggestions for improvements to the software; nor does it cover work done by NAG full-time staff or those who are responsible for implementing the Library on different machines.
The routines in Chapter D06 (Mesh Generation) have been derived from material in the MODULEF package from INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique). NAG is grateful to INRIA for their agreement to develop this material.
We acknowledge with gratitude the contributions of all these people to the development of the Library.
