Real Analysis with an Introduction to Wavelets and Applications

Reviews

"...the wavelet treatment makes it attractive and gives it an edge over many texts."
David Ruch, Metroploitan State College

"The exercises I looked at were at a much more appropriate level than my current text. This book provides more exposition and more applications than traditional real analysis texts."
Doug Hardin, Vanderbilt University

"I like the fact that multiple examples are used
to illustrate concepts. It helps both instructors and students"
Wasin So, San Jose State University

Introduction to Robust Estimation and Hypothesis Testing
Second Edition

Reviews

"The book has several nice features. First is its coverage of the important topics. Second, the R and Splus codes are supplied/used in the book, which makes teaching and learning much easier and fun. Third, the author is very knowledgeable in the area and the materials included are up to date. So not only it can be used as a good textbook, it is also a good reference book for researchers and applied statisticians." Yuhong Yang, Iowa State University

"It is rather unique, this book. The message that the author aims to deliver is an important one. Most other textbooks aim to illustrate the standard story, using innovative illustrations or clearer exposition. So there is a lot of redundancy out there in statistics books. This book stands out as providing something new and clearly important." Sheila Kennison, Oklahoma State University

Contents

The Topology of Torus Actions on Symplectic Manifolds
2nd revised and enlarged edition

Series : Progress in Mathematics , Vol. 93

2004, Approx. 332 pages, Hardcover
ISBN: 3-7643-2176-8
Due: September 2004

About this book

This is an extended second edition of The Topology of Torus Actions on Symplectic Manifolds published as PM 93 in 1991. The material and references have been updated. Symplectic manifolds and torus actions are investigated, with numerous examples of torus actions, for instance on some moduli spaces. Although the book is still centered on convexity results, it contains more theorems, more (and better) proofs, more exercises, and many figures. This enlarged version, although it includes all the material treated in the first edition, is indeed a new book.

Table of contents

Smooth Lie group actions on manifolds.- Symplectic manifolds.- Symplectic and Hamiltonian group actions.- Morse theory for Hamiltonians.- Moduli spaces for flat connections.- Equivariant cohomology and the Duistermaat-Heckman theorem.- Toric manifolds.- Hamiltonian circle actions on manifolds of dimension 4.

Fractal Geometry and Stochastics 3

Series : Progress in Probability , Vol. 57
Volume package: Progress in Probability Fractal Geometry,Stochastics

2004, X, 262 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 3-7643-7070-X
Due: July 2004

About this book

Fractal geometry is used to model complicated natural and technical phenomena in various disciplines like physics, biology, finance, and medicine. Since most convincing models contain an element of randomness, stochastics enters the area in a natural way. This book documents the establishment of fractal geometry as a substantial mathematical theory. As in the previous volumes, which appeared in 1998 and 2000, leading experts known for clear exposition were selected as authors. They survey their field of expertise, emphasizing recent developments and open problems. Main topics include multifractal measures, dynamical systems, stochastic processes and random fractals, harmonic analysis on fractals.

Table of contents

Preface - Introduction.- 1. Fractal Sets and Measures.- 2. Fractals and Dynamical Systems.- 3. Stochastic Processes and Random Fractals.- 4. Fractal Analysis in Euclidean Spaces.- 5. Harmonic Analysis on Fractals

Reconstructive Integral Geometry

Series : Monographs in Mathematics , Vol. 98

2004, XII, 164 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 3-7643-7129-3
Due: August 2004

About this book

This book covers facts and methods for the reconstruction of a function in a real affine or projective space from data of integrals, particularly over lines, planes, and spheres. Recent results are collected stressing explicit analytic methods. Another focus consists of the relations between algebraic integral geometry and partial differential equations. A concise basic course in harmonic analysis and distribution theory is given in the first chapter. The first half of the book includes the ray, the spherical mean transforms in the plane or in 3-space, and inversion from incomplete data. It will be of particular interest to application oriented readers. Further chapters are devoted to the Funk-Radon transform on algebraic varieties of arbitrary dimension.The material appeals to graduates and researchers in pure and applied mathematics who are interested in image reconstruction, inverse problems or functional analysis.

Table of contents

1. Distributions and Fourier Transform2. Radon Transform3. The Funk Transform4. Reconstruction from Line Integrals5. Flat Integral Transform6. Incomplete Data Problems7. Spherical Transform and Inversion8. Algebraic Integral Transform9. Notes
