Holomorphic Q Classes

2001. VIII, 112 pp. Softcover
3-540-42625-6

The space Q p consists of all holomorphic functions f on the unit disk for which the L^2 area integrals of its derivative against the p-th power of the Green function of the unit disk are uniformly bounded in the variable that survives the integration. It turns out that Q 1 coincides with BMOA, while, for p>1, Q p are just the Bloch space. For p/in (0,1) the Q p furnish an increasing sequence of spaces, each invariant under conformal mappings of the unit disk onto itself, which interpolate between the Dirichlet space and BMOA. This monograph covers a number of important aspects in complex, functional and harmonic analysis. The primary focus is Q p, p/in (0,1), and their equivalent characterizations. Based on the up-to-date results obtained by experts in their respective fields, each of the eight chapters unfolds from the basics to the more complex. The exposition here is rapid-paced and efficient, with proofs and examples.

Progress in Industrial Mathematics at ECMI 2000

2002. XIV, 713 pp. Hardcover
3-540-42582-9

The European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) was founded in 1986 by leading groups of mathematicians in Europe for the following scopes:
i) direct involvement of mathematicians in R&D activities;
ii) international cooperation at a European scale;
iii) education of industrial mathematicians to meet the growing demand for such experts.
ECMI 2000 shows that ECMI has offered a unique example of effective international cooperation thanks to the financial support of the European Framework programmes. In particular they have helped ECMI establishing a set of Special Interest Groups to favour interaction with industry. This volume includes minisymposia about their activities, in particular microelectronics, glass, polymers, finance, traffic, and textiles. Applied mathematicians and other professionals working in academia or industry will find the book to be a useful and stimulating source of mathematical applications related to industrial problems.


Keywords: Mathematics in Industry, Mathematics in Finance, Computational Science and Engineering, Optimization, Mathematics in Medicine


Contents: Plenary talks.- Minisymposia: Finance; Fuel pipelines; Image processing: linear and nonlinear techniques; Information and communication technologies; Kinetic transport in semiconductor devices; Liquid/solid phase transictions and interfaces; Mathematical problems in glass industry; Microelectronics; Models of highway traffic; Models from the texile industry; Numerical methods for hyperbolic and kinetic equations; Problems of charge transport in semiconductor nanostructures; Polymers; Some applications of fluid and gas dynamics; Teaching of industrial mathematics at ECMI centers.- Contributed talks.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Chaotic and Stochastic Systems
Tutorial and Modern Developments

2001. XIII, 372 pp. 173 figs. Hardcover
3-540-42419-9

This book is a complete treatise on the theory of nonlinear dynamics of chaotic and stochastic systems. It contains both an exhaustive introduction to the subject as well as a detailed discussion of fundamental problems and research results in a field to which the authors have made important contributions themselves. Despite the unified presentation of the subject, care has been taken to present the material in largely self-contained chapters.
The present book can thus be used either as a textbook by graduate students or as a modern monograph by researchers in this field.

Keywords: Nonlinear Dynamics Chaos Stochastic Systems Dynamical Systems

Contents: From the contents: Tutorial.- Dynamical Systems.- Fluctuations in Dynamic Systems.- Synchronization of Periodic Systems.- Dynamical Chaos.- Routes to Chaos.- Synchronization of Chaos.- Controlling Chaos.- Reconstruction of Dynamical Systems.- Stochastic Dynamics.- Stochastic Resonance.- Synchronization of Stochastic Systems.- The Beneficial Role of Noise in Excitable Systems.- Noise Induced Transport.

Series: Springer Series in Synergetics.

From Elementary Probability to Stochastic Differential Equations with MAPLE

2002. XVI, 313 pp. Softcover
3-540-42666-3

The authors provide a fast introduction to probabilistic and statistical concepts necessary to understand the basic ideas and methods of stochastic differential equations. The book is based on measure theory which is introduced as smoothly as possible. It is intended for advanced undergraduate students or graduates, not necessarily in mathematics, providing an overview and intuitive background for more advanced studies as well as some practical skills in the use of MAPLE in the context of probability and its applications. As prerequisites the authors assume a familiarity with basic calculus and linear algebra, as well as with elementary ordinary differential equations and, in the final chapter, simple numerical methods for such ODEs. Although statistics is not systematically treated, they introduce statistical concepts such as sampling, estimators, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, significance levels and p-values and use them in a large number of examples, problems and simulations.

Keywords: probability, stochastic differential equations, statistics, symbolic computation

A Short Course on Spectral Theory

2001. Approx. 150 pp. Hardcover
0-387-95300-0


This book presents the basic tools of modern analysis within the context of the fundamental problem of operator theory: to calculate spectra of specific operators on infinite dimensional spaces, especially operators on Hilbert spaces. The tools are diverse, and they provide the basis for more refined methods that allow one to approach problems that go well beyond the computation of spectra: the mathematical foundations of quantum physics, noncommutative k-theory, and the classification of simple C*-algebras being three areas of current research activity which require mastery of the material presented here. The book is based on a fifteen-week course which the author offered to first or second year graduate students with a foundation in measure theory and elementary functional analysis.

Keywords: Spectral Theory, Banach Algebra, C * Algebra

Contents: Spectral theory and Banach algebras.- Operators on Hilbert space.- Asymptotics: compact perturbations and Fredholm theory.- Methods and applications.- Bibliography.- Index.
