This collection of selected contributions gives an account of recent developments in dynamic game theory and its applications, covering both theoretical advances and new applications of dynamic games in such areas as pursuit-evasion games, ecology, and economics.

The Theory of the Top. Development of the Theory in the Case of the Heavy Symmetric Top is the second in a series of four self-contained English translations of the classic and definitive treatment of rigid body motion. Introduction to the Kinematics and Kinetics of the Top, Volume III.

The subject of pattern analysis and recognition pervades many aspects of our daily lives, including user authentication in banking, object retrieval from databases in the consumer sector, and the omnipresent surveillance and security measures around sensitive areas.

* A geometric approach to problems in physics, many of which cannot be solved by any other methods* Text is enriched with good examples and exercises at the end of every chapter* Fine for a course or seminar directed at grad and adv.

Provides a more cohesive and sharply focused treatment of fundamental concepts and theoretical background material, with particular attention given to better delineating connections to varying applicationsExposition driven by additional examples and exercises

Modern finite element analysis has grown into a basic mathematical tool for almost every field of engineering and the applied sciences. The emphasis is on interdisciplinary applications to serve a broad audience of advanced undergraduate/graduate students with different backgrounds in applied mathematics, engineering, physics/geophysics.

Wavelet Transforms and Their Applications

A state-of-the-art edited survey covering all aspects of sampling theory. Theory, methods and applications are discussed in authoritative expositions ranging from multi-dimensional signal analysis to wavelet transforms. The book is an essential up-to-date resource.

" Although there is a connection between the first piece and the second, the four pieces here are essentially independent. This piece purports, as a secondary goal, to present a solution to a certain unsolved historical problem raised in the first piece.

An introductory chapter highlights basics concepts and practical models, which are then used to solve more advanced problems throughout the book. Included are many numerical examples and LMI synthesis methods and design approaches.

This book explores the theory's history, recent developments, and some promising future directions through invited surveys written by prominent researchers in the field. In addition, open problems posed throughout the volume and in the concluding open problem chapter will appeal to graduate students and mathematicians alike.

This monograph is a self-contained introduction to the geometry of Riemann Surfaces of constant curvature -1 and their length and eigenvalue spectra. It focuses on two subjects: the geometric theory of compact Riemann surfaces of genus greater than one, and the relationship of the Laplace operator with the geometry of such surfaces.

Since the parameters in dynamical systems of biological interest are inherently positive and bounded, bounded noises are a natural way to model the realistic stochastic fluctuations of a biological system that are caused by its interaction with the external world.

Lie Groups: Structures, Actions, and Representations, In Honor of Joseph A. More precisely, finite groups and classical finite dimensional, as well as infinite-dimensional Lie groups, and algebras play a role.

The conference was organized jointly by St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg branch of Mathematical Institute, and the Euler Institute, and was partially sponsored by the Russian Foundation of Basic Researches.

This book presents contributions of mathematicians covering topics from ancient India, placing them in the broader context of the history of mathematics.

Both Petar and Turi have carried out distinguished work in the control community and have long been recognized as mentors, as well as experts and pioneers in the field of automatic control, covering many topics in control theory and several different applications.

Following Lagrangrian principles, this book employs mathematics not only as a unifying language, but also to exemplify its role as a catalyst in such new concepts and discoveries as the d'Alembert principle, complex systems dynamics, and Hamiltonian mechanics.

This book addresses the design of such tools for correct-by-construction synthesis of supervisors for systems and specifications represented in the discrete-event framework. The approach employed uses Petri nets as discrete-event models and structural methods for the synthesis of supervisors, and may lead to significant computational benefits.

Authors are experts in the field and have published books as well as articles in first-rate journals Comprehensive resource that contains many MATLAB-based examples

Several well-established geometric and topological methods are used in this work in an application to a beautiful physical phenomenon known as the geometric phase. This book examines the geometric phase, bringing together different physical phenomena under a unified mathematical scheme.

Invited articles by top notch expertsFocus is on topics in representation theory of algebraic groups and quantum groupsOf interest to graduate students and researchers in representation theory, group theory, algebraic geometry, quantum theory and math physics

This second edition is a concept-driven book that includes a significant expansion of the problems and solutions used to illustrate the principles of operator theory. Written in a user-friendly style, it presents fundamental topics in a systematic fashion.

Volume 2

This textbook is a self-contained introduction to the abstract theory of bases and redundant frame expansions and their use in both applied and classical harmonic analysis. The four parts of the text take the reader from classical functional analysis and basis theory to modern time-frequency and wavelet theory.

The emphasis in this text is on classical electromagnetic theory and electrodynamics, that is, dynamical solutions to the Lorentz-force and Maxwell's equations.

The Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis (ANHA) book series aims to provide the engineering, mathematical, and scienti?c communities with s- ni?cant developments in harmonic analysis, ranging from abstract harmonic analysis to basic applications.

To this reviewer's knowledge, this is the first book accessible to the upper division undergraduate or beginning graduate student that surveys linear programming....

Provides insight on the problem of closed-loop performance and oscillations in discontinuous control systems, covering the class of systems that do not necessarily have low-pass filtering properties. The title is suitable for readers who have knowledge of linear control theory, graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers.
