Recent advances on Monte Carlo (MC) methods and their application
Prime source of information on quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods and their
randomized versions
Covers applications of MC and QMC in statistics, automatic learning, finance,
physics, partial differential equations, etc
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Monte
Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing that was held at the University of
Rennes, France, and organized by Inria, in July 2018. These biennial conferences are major
events for Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo researchers. The proceedings include articles
based on invited lectures as well as carefully selected contributed papers on all theoretical
aspects and applications of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods. Offering information
on the latest developments in these very active areas, this book is an excellent reference
resource for theoreticians and practitioners interested in solving high-dimensional
computational problems, arising, in particular, in finance, statistics and computer graphics.

Up-to-date reviews on hot topics in mathematics
Interdisciplinary research between highly visible research areas
Focuses on algorithmic aspects
Surveys existing software packages relating to the topics
The book is centered around the research areas of combinatorics, special functions, and
computer algebra. What these research fields share is that many of their outstanding results
do not only have applications in Mathematics, but also other disciplines, such as computer
science, physics, chemistry, etc. A particular charm of these areas is how they interact and
influence one another. For instance, combinatorial or special functions' techniques have
motivated the development of new symbolic algorithms. In particular, first proofs of
challenging problems in combinatorics and special functions were derived by making essential
use of computer algebra. This book addresses these interdisciplinary aspects. Algorithmic
aspects are emphasized and the corresponding software packages for concrete problem
solving are introduced. Readers will range from graduate students, researchers to practitioners
who are interested in solving concrete problems within mathematics and other research
disciplines

First ever book to contain modeling simulation and mathematical analysis in
this field
First comprehensive survey of recent seminal advances in this rapidly
developing field
Contains guided examples in an emerging research field
Written by four leading international scientists
This book presents the state of the art in mathematical research on modelling the mechanics
of biological systems ? a science at the intersection between biology, mechanics and
mathematics known as mechanobiology. The book gathers comprehensive surveys of the most
significant areas of mechanobiology:cell motility and locomotion by shape control (Antonio
DeSimone); models of cell motion and tissue growth (Benoit Perthame); numerical simulation
of cardiac electromechanics (Alfio Quarteroni); andpower-stroke-driven muscle contraction (Lev
Truskinovsky). Each section is self-contained in terms of the biomechanical background, and
the content is accessible to all readers with a basic understanding of differential equations and
numerical analysis. The book disentangles the phenomenological complexity of the
biomechanical problems, while at the same time addressing the mathematical complexity with
invaluable clarity. The book is intended for a wide audience, in particular graduate students
and applied mathematicians interested in entering this fascinating field.

Provides a rigorous, self-contained introduction to the emerging field of tugof-war games
Includes background and auxiliary material on probability and partial
differential equations
Includes exercises with solutions
This graduate textbook provides a detailed introduction to the probabilistic interpretation of
nonlinear potential theory, relying on the recently introduced notion of tug-of-war games with
noise. The book explores both basic and more advanced constructions, carefully explaining the
parallel between linear and nonlinear cases. The presentation is self-contained with many
exercises, making the book suitable as a textbook for a graduate course, as well as for selfstudy.
Extensive background and auxiliary material allow the tailoring of courses to individual
student levels.

This book is the proceeding of the International Workshop on Operator Theory and Applications
(IWOTA) held in July 2018 in Shanghai, China. It consists of original papers, surveys and
expository articles in the broad areas of operator theory, operator algebras and
noncommutative topology. Its goal is to give graduate students and researchers a relatively
comprehensive overview of the current status of research in the relevant fields. The book is
also a special volume dedicated to the memory of Ronald G. Douglas who passed away on
February 27, 2018 at the age of 79. Many of the contributors are Douglasf students and past
collaborators. Their articles attest and commemorate his life-long contribution and influence to
these fields.

Covers current research in the areas of operator theory and dynamical
systems on networks and their applications
Indicates possible future directions
Will be interesting to all researchers focusing on the mathematical theory of
networks
This book contains contributions from the participants of the research group hosted by the ZiF
- Center for Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld during the period 2013-
2017 as well as from theconclusiveconference organized at Bielefeld in December 2017. The
contributions consist of original research papers: they mirror the scientific developments
fostered by this research program or the state-of-the-art results presented during the
conclusive conference. The volume covers current research in the areas of operator theory and
dynamical systems on networks and their applications, indicating possible future directions.The
book will be interesting to researchers focusing on the mathematical theory of networks; it is
unique as, for the first time, continuous network models - a subject that has been blooming in
the last twenty years - are studied alongside more classical and discrete ones.Thus, instead of
two different worlds often growing independently without much intercommunication, a new
path is set, breaking with the tradition. The fruitful and beneficial exchange of ideas and results
of both communities is reflected in this book.
