Description

This book covers theoretical work, applications, and techniques for computational models of information, language, and reasoning. Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural language and reasoning methods are proliferating. Adequate coverage of related works and advanced applications encounter difficult problems related to the phenomena of partiality, underspecification, perspectives of agents, and context dependency. These phenomena are signature features of information in nature, natural languages, and reasoning.

The goal of this collection of works is to promote advanced, intelligent approaches of Mathematical Logic and its applications to systems of proofs and verification, Mathematical and Computational Linguistics, and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

The intended readers of this book are researchers in Mathematical Logic and Computer Science, as well as Mathematical and Computational Linguistics, to advance work on theories and applications to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and related subjects.

Series: Industrial and Applied Mathematics
Pub. Date: 24-Aug-2026
ISBN-13: 9789819221271

Description

This book provides a comprehensive and unified treatment of variational inequalities, quasi-variational inequalities, and related impulse control problems, combining rigorous mathematical analysis with effective numerical methods and practical applications. Such models arise naturally in constrained partial differential equations, free boundary problems, optimal control, reliability engineering, and mathematical finance.

The main objective of the book is to develop a coherent framework that connects functional analytic foundations, qualitative properties, numerical approximation, and long-time behavior. Particular attention is given to the analysis of existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions for elliptic and parabolic variational inequalities, as well as to quasi-variational problems involving solution-dependent constraints.

The book also presents robust and convergent numerical schemes, with a focus on finite element methods, penalty techniques, and approximation strategies that preserve the qualitative features of the continuous models. Special emphasis is placed on applications to free boundary problems, impulse control, and non-smooth phenomena, which play a central role in reliability modeling and American option pricing.

This volume is intended for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and related fields who are interested in both the theoretical and computational aspects of variational inequalities.

Pub. Date: 19-Sep-2026
ISBN-13: 9789819590063

Description

This book presents a rigorous and comprehensive exploration of inlier-prone models, delving into their theoretical foundations and wide-ranging applications. Inlierslike outliersrepresent atypical observations, but unlike outliers, they tend to appear in clusters rather than in isolation. Traditional statistical methods often overlook this phenomenon, necessitating the use of non-standard probability distributions, which is an emerging area of interest in statistical research. Through a multidisciplinary lens, the book examines the presence and impact of inliers across various fields, including statistics, social sciences, survival analysis, and clinical research, while also extending their relevance to other disciplines. Beyond technical insights, it thoughtfully addresses academic significance, ethical considerations, and interdisciplinary connections, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, scholars, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of inlier behavior and its implications.

Geometric Methods in Mathematical Physics II:
Tensor Analysis on Manifolds and General Relativity

Format: Paperback / softback, 305 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 21 Illustrations, black and white
Series: UNITEXT
Pub. Date: 10-Sep-2026
ISBN-13: 9783032315328

Description

Geometric Methods in Mathematical Physics II: Tensor Analysis on Manifolds and General Relativity provides a rigorous and self-contained introduction to the differential-geometric foundations of modern mathematical physics, with a special emphasis on the mathematical formulation of General Relativity.

The volume develops the theory of smooth manifolds, tensor fields, differential forms, affine and Levi-Civita connections, geodesics, exponential maps, curvature, and pseudo-Riemannian geometry. These tools are introduced in a concise but systematic way, combining abstract geometric concepts with explicit coordinate expressions and applications relevant to physics.

After establishing the basic language of differential geometry, the text turns to the geometric structure of spacetime. It discusses Lorentzian manifolds, causal vectors and curves, time orientation, proper time, reference frames, the equivalence principle, conservation laws, Killing vector fields, Fermi-Walker transport, geodesic deviation, and the role of curvature in gravitation. The exposition then leads naturally to Einsteins field equations, their geometric meaning, and selected applications in relativistic physics.

Further topics include Newtonian correspondence, gravitational redshift and time dilation, stationary spacetimes, cosmological models of Friedmann-Lemaītre-Robertson-Walker type, the expansion of the Universe, dark matter and dark energy, and the Schwarzschild and Kruskal solutions.

Addressed primarily to graduate students, researchers, and advanced readers in mathematics, physics, and mathematical physics, this book offers a compact yet mathematically precise pathway from tensor analysis on manifolds to the modern geometric understanding of gravitation. It is suitable both as a course text and as a reference for readers wishing to master the geometric methods that underlie contemporary General Relativity.

StatisticsCoping with Uncertainty:
A Modern Introduction to Statistics in Times of Machine Learning

Format: Hardback, 395 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 57 Illustrations, color; 47 Illustrations, black and white
Series: Textbooks in Statistical Science
Pub. Date: 07-Oct-2026
ISBN-13: 9783032336576

Description

This undergraduate textbook provides a novel introduction to the concepts of statistical inference. Approached from a fresh information-theoretic perspective, statistics is presented as a scientific discipline that offers concepts for handling uncertainty, which is a common thread throughout the book.

This framing naturally leads readers to key ideas such as maximum likelihood estimation, statistical testing, regression, and model selection. Uncertainty can be explored through simulation-based approaches, which are given particular emphasis in the book and open the door to Bayesian inference, also discussed in the text. Beyond standard scenarios, the book extends classical methods to handle extreme and multivariate data as well as data that deviate from the independent and identically distributed assumption. By drawing parallels to methods from machine learning, the book demonstrates how modern statistical thinking complements and enriches machine learning methodologies.

The book presents the versatility of statistical ideas, concepts, and questions in a form that is easy to understand and digest, without neglecting the methodological and mathematical foundations of statistics. Each chapter is complemented by exercises to support learning, and examples in the book are accompanied by computer code and additional material available online.

The text is intended for a two-semester course in statistical inference and assumes prior knowledge of fundamental ideas of probability theory. Given its fresh approach, it will equally appeal to aspiring statisticians at the bachelors level and to computer scientists in the field of machine learning.

Description

This monograph develops a comprehensive theory of Gmonogenic mappings in noncommutative algebras, combining algebraic structure with analytic techniques. Building on quaternionic and hypercomplex analysis, the authors introduce new classes of G and Hmonogenic mappings, establish their fundamental properties, and provide explicit constructive representations via holomorphic functions. Classical tools of complex analysisincluding the Cauchy integral theorem, Moreras theorem, and Taylor and Laurent expansionsare extended to noncommutative settings. The theory is further connected to elliptic partial differential equations, demonstrating explicit solution methods. The book offers a unified framework in hypercomplex analysis, noncommutative algebra, and applied complex analysis, making it a suitable reference for researchers working in these fields.
