Phase transitions occur in several processes of physical and engineering interest. This text deals with the analysis of models of solid-liquid systems. Its main purpose is to offer an introduction to the classical Stefan problem and to some of its physically motivated extensions.

This volume contains the papers that have been presented at the Conference on Modeling and Control of Uncertain Systems held in Sopron, Hungary on September 3-7, 1990, organised within the framework of the activities of the System and Decision Sciences Program of IIASA - the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.

This self-contained monograph traces the evolution of the limit-point/limit-circle problem from its 1910 inception, in a paper by Hermann Weyl, to its modern-day extensions to the asymptotic analysis of nonlinear differential equations.

The University of Genoa - Ohio State University Joint Conference on New Trends in Systems Theory was held at the Badia di S.

In these volumes, the most significant of the collected papers of the Chinese-American theoretical physicist Tsung-Dao Lee are printed. At the beginning of each of the first eight categories of papers, there is a commentary on the content and significance of all of the papers in the category.

In a typical example it is shown that - as in gas dynamics - simple one-dimensional flow problems can be solved with the aid of shocks and simple waves.

In 1981 I was approached by Klaus Peters to assist in publishing a selection of the papers of Kurt Otto Friedrichs. With some coaxing on my part the selection was made mainly by Friedrichs despite his frequent modest grumble that it did not make sense to include "that" paper as "X" had subsequently improved either the result or the proof.

The mathematical works of Fritz John whose deep and original ideas have had a great influence on the development of various fields in mathema tical analysis are made available with these volumes.

This text offers a collection of survey and research papers by leading specialists in the field documenting the current understanding of higher dimensional varieties.

FunctionQl areas which are, or are becoming, sources of exciting problems are computer performance analysis, data base analysis, analysis of communication protocols, data networks, and mixed voice-data telephone networks.

Recently there has been rapid progress towards understanding the separate theories of the strong, weak and electromagnetic inter actions within the framework of the standard SU(3) x SU(2) x U(l) model.

This significantly expanded fourth edition is designed as an introduction to the theory and applications of linear PDEs. In addition to essential standard material on the subject, the book contains new material that is not usually covered in similar texts and reference books.

This book is a unique combination of a basic guide to general analog circuit simulation and a SPICE OPUS software manual, which may be used as a textbook or self-study reference.

"Gives a comprehensive treatment of basically everything in mathematics that can be named multivalued/set-valued analysis. It includes...results with many historical comments giving the reader a sound perspective to look at the subject." --Mathematical Reviews

A compact, moderately general book which encompasses many fluid models of current interest...The book is written very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their solutions.

This volume surveys the development of combinatorics since 1930 by presenting in chronological order the fundamental results of the subject proved in over five decades of original papers by: T. van Aardenne-Ehrenfest.- R.L. Fulkerson.- D. Gale.- L. Kasteleyn.- G. Lindstroem.- L. Lovasz.- D. Lubell.- C. Nash-Williams.- G. Ryser.- C. Stanley.- G.

Overview For over a decade now, wavelets have been and continue to be an evolving subject of intense interest. A great deal of exposition is given in the beginning chapters and is meant to give the reader a firm understanding of the basics of the discrete and continuous wavelet transforms and their relationship.

* Recommended by T.Basar, SC series ed. * This text addresses a new, active area of research and fills a gap in the literature. * Bridges mathematics, engineering, and computer science; * Useful as a supplementary text & reference for grad students with some background in control theory;

This book provide a comprehensive set of modeling methods for data and uncertainty analysis, taking readers beyond mainstream methods and focusing on techniques with a broad range of real-world applications. The book will be useful as a textbook for graduate students, or as a training manual in the fields of calibration and testing.

This self-contained text provides an introduction to modern harmonic analysis in the context in which it is actually applied, in particular, through complex function theory and partial differential equations.

Developed in this book are several deep connections between time-frequency (Fourier/Gabor) analysis and time-scale (wavelet) analysis, emphasizing the powerful adaptive methods that emerge when separate techniques from each area are properly assembled in a larger context.

This book is a well-informed and detailed analysis of the problems and development of algebraic topology, from Poincare and Brouwer to Serre, Adams, and Thom. This book demonstrates in the case of topology how these obstacles can be overcome, with enlightening results....

This book is derived from notes used in teaching a first-year graduate-level course in elasticity in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.
