Signed. Signed and inscribed to previous owner by Vladik Kreinovich. Previous owner was Dr. Lotfi A. Zadeh, Professor, UC Berkeley. No other markings in book. Lightly read. Lotfi Zadeh is credited, along with John R. Ragazzini, in 1952, with having pioneered the development of the z-transform method in discrete time signal processing and analysis. These methods are now standard in digital signal processing, digital control, and other discrete-time systems used in industry and research.

Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

Applications of Interval Computations contains primarily survey articles of actual, industrial applications of numerical analysis with automatic result verification and of interval representation of data. Underlying topics include branch and bound algorithms for global optimization, constraint propagation, solution sets of linear systems, hardware and software systems for interval computations, and fuzzy logic. Actual applications described in the book include economic input-output models, quality control in manufacturing design, a computer-assisted proof in quantum mechanics, medical expert systems, and others. A realistic view of interval computations is taken: the articles indicate when and how over-estimation and other challenges can be overcome. An introductory chapter explains the content of the papers in terminology accessible to mathematically literate graduate students. The style of the individual, refereed contributions has been made uniform and understandable, and there is an extensive book-wide index.
The book should be valuable to students and researchers interested in automatic result verification.
