Bergman Kernel and Related Topics:

Description

This volume consists of 15 papers contributing to the Hayama Symposium on Complex Analysis in Several Variables XXIII, which was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Bergman kernel. The symposium took place in Hayama and Tokyo in July 2022. Each article is closely related to the Bergman kernel, covering topics in complex analysis, differential geometry, representation theory, PDE, operator theory, and complex algebraic geometry.

Specifically, some papers address the L2 extension operators from a newly opened viewpoint after solving Suita's conjecture for the logarithmic capacity. They are also continuations of quantitative solutions to the openness conjecture for the multiplier ideal sheaves. The study involves estimates for the solutions of the d-bar equations, focusing on the existence of compact Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex manifolds.

The collection also reports progress on various topics, including the existence of extremal Kahler metrics on compact manifolds, Lp variants of the Bergman kernel, Wehrl-type inequalities, homogeneous Kahler metrics on bounded homogeneous domains, asymptotics of the Bergman kernels, and harmonic Szeg kernels and operators on the Bergman spaces and Segal-Bargmann spaces.

Some of the papers are written in an easily accessible way for beginners. Overall, this collection updates how a basic notion provides strong insights into the internal relationships between independently found phenomena.

Numbers and Functions
Theory, Formulation and Python Codes

Pages: 250
ISBN: 978-981-12-8762-6 (hardcover)

Description

This unique volume covers two fundamental elements of computational methods ? numbers and functions. It provides an in-depth discussion of the behaviors of numbers, including both real and complex numbers. The discussion leads to the important closure properties of numbers, ensuring solution consistence and existence, and also possible failure in numerical computations in science and engineering.

This text then introduces types of functions that take numbers as independent variables and produce a single number. Approaches for constructing inverse functions are also provided. Frequently used basis functions are introduced, with detailed studies on their properties and behaviors. Techniques are presented for constructing basis functions and their use in function approximation in computational methods.

Contents:

Introduction
Real Numbers
Complex Numbers
Elementary Functions
Basis Functions
Function Approximation

Readership:

Researchers, professionals, academics and graduate students in numerical analysis and mathematical computation.

Starting Category Theory

Pages: 298
ISBN: 978-981-12-8600-1 (hardcover)

Description

One of the central highlights of this work is the exploration of the Yoneda lemma and its profound implications, during which intuitive explanations are provided, as well as detailed proofs, and specific examples. This book covers aspects of category theory often considered advanced in a clear and intuitive way, with rigorous mathematical proofs. It investigates universal properties, coherence, the relationship between categories and graphs, and treats monads and comonads on an equal footing, providing theorems, interpretations and concrete examples. Finally, this text contains an introduction to monoidal categories and to strong and commutative monads, which are essential tools in current research but seldom found in other textbooks.

Starting Category Theory serves as an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of category theory. Originally crafted as lecture notes for an undergraduate course, it has been developed to be equally well-suited for individuals pursuing self-study. Most crucially, it deliberately caters to those who are new to category theory, not requiring readers to have a background in pure mathematics, but only a basic understanding of linear algebra.

Introduction to the Calculus of Variations, 4th Edition

Pages: 364
ISBN: 978-1-80061-526-7 (hardcover)
ISBN: 978-1-80061-537-3 (softcover)

Description

The calculus of variations is one of the oldest subjects in mathematics, and it is very much alive and still evolving. Besides its mathematical importance and its links to other branches of mathematics, such as geometry or differential equations, it is widely used in physics, engineering, economics and biology.

This book serves both as a guide to the expansive existing literature and as an aid to the non-specialist ? mathematicians, physicists, engineers, students or researchers ? in discovering the subject's most important problems, results and techniques. Despite the aim of addressing non-specialists, mathematical rigor has not been sacrificed; most of the theorems are either fully proved or proved under more stringent conditions.

This new edition offers an entirely new chapter, as well as the addition of several new exercises. The book, containing a total of 147 exercises with detailed solutions, is well designed for a course at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Contents:

Preface to the Fourth English Edition
Introduction
Preliminaries
Classical Methods
Direct Methods: Existence
Direct Methods: Regularity
Minimal Surfaces
Isoperimetric Inequality
Geodesic
Solutions to the Exercises
Bibliography
Index

Readership:

This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the field of calculus of variations
and differential equations. It would also be applicable to physicists, engineers economists or biologists more generally who are interested in mathematics.
