Presents an in-depth discussion of random assignment and
randomization tests, including common pitfalls
Features an updated chapter on single-subject randomization tests
Includes an accompanying CD-ROM with up-to-date randomization
test programs and Fortran codes
Provides end-of-chapter problems and solutions
Building on the previous editions that have served as standard
references and textbooks for the past twenty-five years,
Randomization Tests, Fourth Edition features new and expanded
material as well as an accompanying CD-ROM with up-to-date
randomization test programs. This edition provides in-depth
coverage of randomization, equivalent test statistics,
transformations that leave a p-value invariant, and ordinal scale
or nonparametric tests. It also fully updates the chapter on
single-subject randomization tests. With additional examples,
problems, and solutions, the text discusses the power and
distinctiveness of randomization tests along with common pitfalls
that can invalidate tests.

Provides the material for two graduate-level courses: one in
linear systems and optimal control and the other in robust
control
Includes H8 and sliding mode methods together for the first time
in book form
Develops mathematical analyses, including the derivation of H8,
to avoid learning additional mathematical tools
Highlights the use of MATLABｮ software to solve practical
problems via the computer
Contains end-of-chapter exercises and offers a solutions manual
with qualifying course adoptions
Balancing rigorous theory with practical applications, Linear
Systems: Optimal and Robust Control explains the concepts behind
linear systems, optimal control, and robust control and
illustrates these concepts with concrete examples and problems.
Developed as a two-course book, this self-contained text first
discusses linear systems, including controllability,
observability, and matrix fraction description. Within this
framework, the author develops the ideas of state feedback
control and observers. He then examines optimal control,
stochastic optimal control, and the lack of robustness of linear
quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control. The book subsequently presents
robust control techniques and derives H8 control theory from the
first principle, followed by a discussion of the sliding mode
control of a linear system. In addition, it shows how a blend of
sliding mode control and H8 methods can enhance the robustness of
a linear system.
By learning the theories and algorithms as well as exploring the
examples in Linear Systems: Optimal and Robust Control, students
will be able to better understand and ultimately better manage
engineering processes and systems.

Resume :
Nous nous interessons dans ce volume a la dynamique des
diffeomorphismes des surfaces preservant une forme d'aire. La
dimension deux offre des outils mathematiques qui lui sont
propres. Le but de ces textes est donc de presenter a travers des
approches differentes, diverses methodes d'etude et d'en donner
des applications. En particulier, nous cherchons a montrer
comment se rencontrent les points de vue de la theorie
geometrique des systemes dynamiques, de la theorie des groupes,
de l'hydrodynamique et de la topologie plane.
Mots clefs : Systemes dynamiques conservatifs, diffeomorphismes,
orbites periodiques, diffeomorphismes de surfaces
Abstract:
Dynamics of conservative surfaces diffeomorphisms: a topological
viewpoint
This volume deals with the dynamics of area-preserving surface
diffeomorphisms. In dimension 2 some specific mathematical tools
are available. Along these texts, we present several approaches
and some applications. In particular, we try to show how the
geometrical theory of dynamical systems, the group theory, the
hydrodynamics and the plane topology interfere.
Key words: Conservative dynamical systems, diffeomorphism,
periodic orbits, surface diffeomorphisms

Praise for The Mathematics of Derivatives
"The Mathematics of Derivatives provides a concise
pedagogical discussion of both fundamental and very recent
developments in mathematical finance, and is particularly well
suited for readers with a science or engineering background. It
is written from the point of view of a physicist focused on
providing an understanding of the methodology and the assumptions
behind derivative pricing. Navin has a unique and elegant
viewpoint, and will help mathematically sophisticated readers
rapidly get up to speed in the latest Wall Street financial
innovations."
-David Montano, Managing Director JPMorgan Securities
"A stylish and practical introduction to the key concepts in
financial mathematics, this book tackles key fundamentals in the
subject in an intuitive and refreshing manner whilst also
providing detailed analytical and numerical schema for solving
interesting derivatives pricing problems. If Richard Feynman
wrote an introduction to financial mathematics, it might look
similar. The problem and solution sets are first rate."
-Barry Ryan, Partner Bhramavira Capital Partners, London
"This is a great book for anyone beginning (or contemplating),
a career in financial research or analytic programming. Navin
dissects a huge, complex topic into a series of discrete,
concise, accessible lectures that combine the required
mathematical theory with relevant applications to real-world
markets. I wish this book was around when I started in finance.
It would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation."
-Larry Magargal
