Concluding remark: this bibliography complements a first part which appeared in 1976 in J.Comp.Appl.Math., 2, 125-144. The number of papers covered here is close to a thousand from more than 800 authors. There is no claim whatever on completeness. The reader’s attention is drawn on translations made of journals published in Russian.
