About this book.

Investigation of the interconnection between probability problems and analysis problems Consideration of the statistical problems using the game theory ideas Construction of special examples instead of well-known existence theorems Generalization and investigation of the notion of integrable operators

In a number of famous works, M. Kac showed that various methods of probability theory can be fruitfully applied to important problems of analysis. The interconnection between probability and analysis also plays a central role in the present book. However, our approach is mainly based on the application of analysis methods (the method of operator identities, integral equations theory, dual systems, integrable equations) to probability theory (Levy processes, M. Kac's problems, the principle of imperceptibility of the boundary, signal theory). The essential part of the book is dedicated to problems of statistical physics (classical and quantum cases). We consider the corresponding statistical problems (Gibbs-type formulas, non-extensive statistical mechanics, Boltzmann equation) from the game point of view (the game between energy and entropy). One chapter is dedicated to the construction of special examples instead of existence theorems (D. Larson's theorem, Ringrose's hypothesis, the Kadison-Singer and Gohberg-Krein questions). We also investigate the Bezoutiant operator. In this context, we do not make the assumption that the Bezoutiant operator is normally solvable, allowing us to investigate the special classes of the entire functions.

About this book.

Nonlinear Analysis: Stability, Approximation, and Inequalities presents some of the most recent results in the field of nonlinear analysis. Dedicated to Themistocles M. Rassias on the occasion of his 60th birthday, this volume contains 44 articles on various developments in the field, pertaining to subjects such as the stability of functional equations, variational systems, geometric analysis, analytic inequalities, approximation theory and optimization, as well as their applications. Many of the chapters are related to the seminal contributions of Th. M. Rassias and are based upon his initial findings.

This book is well suited to researchers working in nonlinear analysis and approximation theory, differential equations, variational analysis, optimization and their applications, and also to mathematically oriented engineers. It can be used as a valuable source of supplementary material for graduate research and course work.

About this book.

This book contains survey papers based on the lectures presented at the 3rd International Winter School gModern Problems of Mathematics and Mechanicsh held in January 2010 at the Belarusian State University, Minsk. These lectures are devoted to different problems of modern analysis and its applications. An extended presentation of modern problems of applied analysis will enable the reader to get familiar with new approaches of mostly interdisciplinary character. The results discussed are application oriented and present new insight into applied problems of growing importance such as applications to composite materials, anomalous diffusion, and fluid dynamics.

About this textbook.

Contains two surveys of new results on linear and multilinear analysis
Offers a very nice presentation of the De Giorgi?Moser?Nash result
Contains elegant applications of harmonic analysis to human vision

This book contains an expanded version of lectures delivered by the authors at the CRM in the spring of 2009. It contains four series of lectures. The first one is an application of harmonic analysis and the Heisenberg group to understand human vision. The second and third series of lectures cover some of the main topics on linear and multilinear harmonic analysis. The last one is a nice introduction to a deep result of De Giorgi, Moser and Nash on regularity of elliptic partial differential equations in divergence form.
