Description

This book offers several topics of mathematical analysis which are closely connected with significant properties of real-valued functions of various types (such as semi-continuous functions, monotone functions, convex functions, measurable functions, additive and linear functionals, etc.). Alongside with fairly traditional themes of real analysis and classical measure theory, more profound questions are thoroughly discussed in the book appropriate extensions and restrictions of functions, oscillation functions and their characterization, discontinuous functions on resolvable topological spaces, pointwise limits of finite sums of periodic functions, some general results on invariant and quasi-invariant measures, the structure of non-measurable sets and functions, the Baire property of functions on topological spaces and its connections with measurability properties of functions, logical and set-theoretical aspects of the behavior of real-valued functions.

Description

This book offers a first step towards getting machines to understand history in terms of analysing historical narratives. It uses computational intelligence and history texts as keys to ask different questions than have been asked about our human history so far.

The book is divided into three main parts. The first part discusses the mathematical language of history, the second part uses simple models to analyse historical laws written in mathematical language, and the third part discusses the impact of general Large Language Models (LLMs) on the study of history.

Description

This book systematically develops the theory of Metric Spaces while serving as a connection between classical Real Analysis and General Topology. It is designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students, providing formal definitions, theorems, proofs, examples, remarks, exercises, and explanatory notes. Instructors can use the numerous examples and miscellaneous results to structure their teaching approach. The book contains seven chapters, first of which lists primary results (without proofs) from the undergraduate Real Analysis course. Each subsequent chapter builds on cues from previous levels, adapting them to the context of Metric Spaces.Additionally, the book includes four appendix chapters. The first three are included to maintain the flow of discussion in the main chapters, relegating less relevant proofs to the appendices. The fourth appendix on the Cantor set is included to provide insight into this notable mathematical concept.

Chapter 1. Recollections.
Chapter 2. Basic Notions.
Chapter 3. Topology of Metric Spaces
Chapter 4. Completeness.
Chapter 5. Continuity.-
Chapter 6. Compactness.
Chapter 7. Connectedness.

Geometric Aspects of General Topology Second Edition

Description

This book is designed for graduate students to acquire knowledge of simplicial complexes, Dimension Theory, ANR Theory (Theory of Retracts), and related topics. These theories are connected with various elds in Geometric Topology, Algebraic Topology as well as General Topology. Except for the second half of the last chapter, this book is entirely self-contained. To make the ideas of proofs easier to understand, many proofs are illustrated with gures or diagrams. While exercises are not explicitly included, some results are provided with only sketches of proofs. Completing the proofs in detail is a good exercise for the reader. Researchers will also nd this book very helpful, as it contains many important results not presented in usual textbooks, such as dim X ~ I = dim X + 1 for a metrizable space X; the difference between small and large inductive dimensions; a hereditarily innite-dimensional space; the ANR property of locally contractible countable-dimensional metrizable spaces; an innite-dimensional space with nite cohomological dimension; a dimension-raising cell-like map; and a non-AR metric linear space. The last three subjects are linked to each other, demonstrating how deeply related the two theories are. Simplicial complexes are very useful in various elds of Topology and are indispensable for studying theories of dimension and ANR. Many textbooks deal with simplicial complexes, but none discuss in detail what is non-locally nite. For example, J.H.C. Whitehead's theorem on small subdivisions is very important, but its proof cannot be found in any other book. The homotopy type of simplicial complexes is discussed in textbooks on Algebraic Topology using CW complexes, but geometrical arguments using simplicial complexes are relatively easy. Many contents have been added to this edition to make it more comprehensive.

Description

This book provides a self-contained lecture on a Malliavin calculus approach to asymptotic expansion and weak approximation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) as well as numerical methods for computing parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Particularly, Malliavinfs integration by parts is effectively applied to the computation schemes combined with deep learning methods. Constructions of asymptotic expansion and weak approximation are given in detail with the theoretical convergence analysis. The schemes enable efficient computation for high-dimensional SDEs and fast spatial approximation for high-dimensional parabolic PDEs without suffering from the curse of dimensionality. Moreover, the algorithms and Python codes are available with numerical examples for finance, physics, and statistics. Readers including graduate-level students, researchers, and practitioners can understand both theoretical and applied aspects of recent developments of asymptotic expansion and weak approximation.
