This book is devoted to one of the fastest developing fields in modern control theory - the so-called H-infinity optimal control theory. The book can be used for a second or third year graduate level course in the subject, and researchers working in the area will find the book useful as a standard reference.

This graduate-level textbook is a detailed exposition of key mathematical tools in analysis aimed at students, researchers, and practitioners across science and engineering.

This work will serve as an excellent first course in modern analysis. The main focus is on showing how self-similar solutions are useful in studying the behavior of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, especially those of parabolic type. This textbook will be an excellent resource for self-study or classroom use.

Examples of such decidabLe theories are the theory of Boolean algebras (Tarski [1949]), the theory of Abelian groups (Szmiele~ [1955]), and the theories of elementary arithmetic and geometry (Tarski [1951]' but Tarski discovered these results around 1930).

in the past, study of this relationship has led to important mathematical advancesPresents new results and applications to diverse fields such as geometry, number theory, and analysisContributors are leading experts in their respective fieldsWill be of interest to both pure and applied mathematicians

This second edition of A Beginner's Guide to Finite Mathematics takes a distinctly applied approach to finite mathematics at the freshman and sophomore level. Requiring little mathematical background beyond high school algebra, the text will be especially useful for business and liberal arts majors.

This work explains early results of the theory of continuous maps of an interval to itself to mathematicians and theoretical physicists, and aims to inspire further inquiry into these phenomena of beautiful regularity, which often appear near chaotic systems.

Published in honor of his 70th birthday, this volume explores and celebrates the work of G.W. Stewart: Selected Works with Commentaries will appeal to graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in computational linear algebra and the history of mathematics.

"The book is largely self-contained...There is a nice introduction to symplectic geometry and a charming exposition of equivariant K-theory. This is the only available introduction to geometric representation theory...it has already proved successful in introducing a new generation to the subject."

This volume provides an overview of rationality problems by surveying research from leading experts in the field. Readers will find coverage of rationality problems from both cohomological and algebraic geometry perspectives.

Examines linear structures, the topology of metric spaces, and continuity in infinite dimensions, with detailed coverage at the graduate level. This title includes applications to geometry and differential equations, numerous beautiful illustrations, examples, exercises, historical notes, and comprehensive index.

Hyperbolic Manifolds and Discrete Groups is at the crossroads of several branches of mathematics: hyperbolic geometry, discrete groups, 3-dimensional topology, geometric group theory, and complex analysis.

A collection of invited chapters dedicated to Carlos Segovia, this unified and self-contained volume examines recent developments in real and harmonic analysis.

This new text/reference is an excellent resource for the foundations and applications of control theory and nonlinear dynamics. All graduates, practitioners, and professionals in control theory, dynamical systems, perturbation theory, engineering, physics and nonlinear dynamics will find the book a rich source of ideas, methods and applications.

This unified, self-contained book examines the mathematical tools used for decomposing and analyzing functions, specifically, the application of the [discrete] Fourier transform to finite Abelian groups.

The two volumes contain 65 chapters, which are based on talks presented by reputable researchers in the field at the Tenth International Conference on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering.

This book offers a broad overview of the potential of continuum mechanics to describe a wide range of macroscopic phenomena in real-world problems.

The modeling of reactive flows has progressed mainly with advances in aerospace, which gave birth to a new science called aerothermochemistry, as well as through developments in chemical and process engineering.

Good mathematical notation, descriptions of properties of lines and curves, and the illustration of geometric concepts facilitate the design of computer graphics tools and computer animation.; Video game designers, for example, will find a clear discussion and illustration of hard-to-understand trajectory design concepts.;

Differential geometry, in the classical sense, is developed through the theory of smooth manifolds. Using modern differential geometry from the author's perspective, this work describes physical theories of a geometric character without using any notion of calculus (smoothness).

This text takes advantage of recent developments in the theory of path integration to provide an improved treatment of quantization of systems that either have no constraints or involve constraints with demonstratively improved procedures.

The two volumes contain 65 chapters, which are based on talks presented by reputable researchers in the field at the Tenth International Conference on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering.

This book presents recently developed methodologies that utilize quantized information in system identification and explores their potential in extending control capabilities for systems with limited sensor information or networked systems.

Presents field theories written in sheaf-theoretic language. This title contains a wealth of minutely detailed, rigorous computations.

"Nitric Oxide and Free Radicals in Peripheral Neurotransmission" is a welcome addition to the literature and describes current research into the role of nitric oxide in the peripheral nervous system and its associated organs.

This volume contains a collection of papers delivered by the partici pants at the second Conference on Computation and Control held at Mon tana State University in Bozeman, Montana from August 1-7, 1990.

This text starts at the foundations of the field, and is accessible with some background in functional analysis. As such, the book is ideal for classroom of self study. The new material covered also makes this book a must read for researchers in the theory of critical points.

This monograph describes global propagation of regular nonlinear hyperbolic waves described by first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems in one dimension.

When first confronted with the prospect of having my collected papers published, I felt both awe and confusion, but I calmed down when I realized that the purpose was not to honor the author, but to be of service to the mathematical community.
