Spectra of Discrete Structures

Series: Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
Published: March 2026
Format: Hardback
ISBN: 9781009641845

Description

Addressing the active and challenging field of spectral theory, this book develops the general theory of spectra of discrete structures, on graphs, simplicial complexes, and hypergraphs. In fact, hypergraphs have long been neglected in mathematical research, but due to the discovery of Laplace operators that can probe their structure, and their manifold applications from chemical reaction networks to social interactions, they now constitute one of the hottest topics of interdisciplinary research. The authors' analysis of spectra of discrete structures embeds intuitive and easily visualized examples, which are often quite subtle, within a general mathematical framework. They highlight novel research on Cheeger type inequalities which connect spectral estimates with the geometry, more precisely the cohesion, of the underlying structure. Establishing mathematical foundations and demonstrating applications, this book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematics working on the spectral theory of operators on discrete structures.

Develops discrete spectral theory from elementary examples to the most recent research
Particular emphasis on hypergraphs, demonstrating to readers their applications in a wide range of fields
Presents novel and general results about Cheeger type inequalities for eigenvalues of discrete operators

Inequalities and Integral Operators in Function Spaces

ISBN 9781041126843
322 Pages
January 27, 2026 by Chapman & Hall

Description

The modern theory of functional spaces and operators, built on powerful analytical methods, continues to evolve in the search for more precise, universal, and effective tools. Classical inequalities such as Hardy’s inequality, Remez’s inequality, the Bernstein-Nikolsky inequality, the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for the Riesz transform, the Hardy-Littlewood inequality for Fourier transforms, O’Neil’s inequality for the convolution operator, and others play a fundamental role in analysis, and their influence is hard to overestimate. With the development of new interpolation methods, new functional spaces, and novel problem formulations for functions of many variables, these inequalities have undergone significant advancements.

Inequalities and Integral Operators in Function Spaces focuses primarily on new approaches to the interpolation of spaces, which significantly extend the classical framework of the methods developed by Lions and Peetre. The book demonstrates how the use of net spaces and modern interpolation techniques not only provides a deeper understanding of the structure of functional spaces but also leads to stronger results that cannot be achieved within the traditional framework.

Features

• Can be used for specialized courses in harmonic analysis focusing on interpolation

• Suitable for both researchers in the field of real analysis and mathematicians interested in applying these methods to related areas

• Contains new and interesting results, previously unpublished.

Description

Now in its second edition, this book provides a rigorous treatment of the foundations of differential and integral calculus. It proceeds gradually from an axiomatic characterization of the real number system to the study of differentiation and integration on m-dimensional surfaces. Proofs of theorems are given in detail, and many examples are provided to illustrate the concepts expressed in the theorems.

The book consists of three parts. Part I treats the calculus of functions of one variable. Traditional topics such as sequences, continuity, differentiability, Riemann integrability, numerical series, and the convergence of sequences and series of functions are covered. Optional sections on Stirling’s formula, Riemann–Stieltjes integration, and other topics are also included.

The second part focuses on functions of several variables. It introduces the topological ideas (such as compact and connected sets) needed to describe analytical properties of multivariable functions. This part also discusses differentiability and integrability of multivariable functions, and it develops the theory of differential forms on surfaces in Rn.

Many proofs and explanations in the first edition have been revised, and details have been added to clarify the exposition. Part III contains appendices on set theory and linear algebra as well as solutions to some of the exercises are offered, whilst a full solutions manual contains complete solutions to all exercises for qualifying instructors.

On the Stability of Symmetric Flows in a Two-Dimensional Channel

About this book

Published ahead of schedule, this book is part of the 2026 MEMS collection and may become open access under our Subscribe to Open programme in 2026.
We consider the stability of symmetric flows in a two-dimensional channel (including the Poiseuille flow). In 2015 Grenier, Guo, and Nguyen have established instability of these flows in a particular region of the parameter space, affirming formal asymptotics results from the 1940's. We prove that these flows are stable outside this region in parameter space. More precisely we show that the Orr--Sommerfeld operator

Functional Graphs of Generalized Cyclotomic Mappings of Finite Fields

About this book

Published ahead of schedule, this book is part of the 2026 MEMS collection and may become open access under our Subscribe to Open programme in 2026.
The functional graph of a function g:X→X is the directed graph with vertex set X the edges of which are of the form x→g(x) for x∈X. Functional graphs are studied because they allow one to understand the behavior of g under iteration (i.e., to understand the discrete dynamical system (X,g)), which has various applications, especially when X is a finite field F
q

. This memoir is an extensive study of the functional graphs of so-called index d generalized cyclotomic mappings of F
q

, which are a natural and manageable generalization of monomial functions. We provide both theoretical results on the structure of their functional graphs and Las Vegas algorithms for solving fundamental problems, such as parametrizing the connected components of the functional graph by representative vertices, or describing the structure of a connected component given by a representative vertex. The complexity of these algorithms is analyzed in detail, and we make the point that for fixed index d and most prime powers q (in the sense of asymptotic density), suitable implementations of these algorithms have an expected runtime that is polynomial in logq on quantum computers, whereas their expected runtime is subexponential in logq on a classical computer. We also discuss four special cases in which one can devise Las Vegas algorithms with this kind of complexity behavior over most finite fields that solve the graph isomorphism problem for functional graphs of generalized cyclotomic mappings.
