Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A concise introduction to the techniques used to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture. The Baum-Connes conjecture predicts that the K-homology of the reduced C^\*-algebra of a group can be computed as the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space for proper actions. The approach is expository, but it contains proofs of many basic results on topological K-homology and the K-theory of C^\*-algebras. It features a detailed introduction to Bredon homology for infinite groups, with applications to K-homology. It also contains a detailed discussion of naturality questions concerning the assembly map, a topic not well documented in the literature.The book is aimed at advanced graduate students and researchers in the area, leading to current research problems.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 144 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book represents the latest developments on both the theory and applications of bifurcations with symmetry. It includes recent experimental work as well as new approaches to and applications of the theory to other sciences. It shows the range of dissemination of the work of Martin Golubitsky and Ian Stewart and its influence in modern mathematics at the same time as it contains work of young mathematicians in new directions. The range of topics includes mathematical biology, pattern formation, ergodic theory, normal forms, one-dimensional dynamics and symmetric dynamics.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Lie algebras are efficient tools for analyzing the properties of physical systems. Concrete applications comprise the formulation of symmetries of Hamiltonian systems, the description of atomic, molecular and nuclear spectra, the physics of elementary particles and many others. This work gives an introduction to the properties and the structure of the Lie algebras su(n). First, characteristic quantities such as structure constants, the Killing form and functions of Lie algebras are introduced. The properties of the algebras su(2), su(3) and su(4) are investigated in detail. Geometric models of the representations are developed. A lot of care is taken over the use of the term 'multiplet of an algebra'.The book features an elementary (matrix) access to su(N)-algebras, and gives a first insight into Lie algebras. Student readers should be enabled to begin studies on physical su(N)-applications, instructors will profit from the detailed calculations and examples.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 128 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The seventh International Conference on Evolution Equations and their main areas of Applications (where the emphasis evolves as time and problems change) was held October 30 to November 4 at the CIRM (Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica) in Trento, Italy. In keeping with the basic principles and the recent tendencies governing these International Conferences, it brought together many of the world's leading experts in the fields mentioned, with particular effort on facilitating the interaction of established scientists and emerging young promising researchers, as well as the interaction of pure and applied specialists. In the latter directions, emphasis was extended here to include in addition to Physical and Life Sciences, also Industry and Economics. Topics among the recent advances treated here concern new developments in: moving boundary problems, asymptotics in non-linear Volterra equations and other asymptotics related developments, Poincare inequality on stratified sets, time operator and Markov processes in physics related advances, behavior of granu lar matter, stochastic aspects of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, very general Paley-Wiener results applied to both classical and generalized functions, Ornstein Uhlenbeck operators and processes, quasilinear PDEs with memory operators, semi-group approach in economics (pricing theory) and other semi-group related developments, convolution-evolution equation in aeroelasticity, new developments in the study of age-structured models, new developments in maximal regularity.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 436 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Wolfgang Lefevre, Jiirgen Renn, and Vrs Schoepflin General The origin of this volume is a workshop held has a deeper, more complex structure which in 1997 in Berlin as part of a series of work must be assumed if its analysis is only based shops organized in the framework of the on text. In fact, the analysis of the function of Network on Science and the Visual Images images in the early modern period shows that 1500 - 1800 funded by the European Science they mediated not only between science and Foundation and initiated by William Shea. its cultural context, but also between practi Meanwhile a selection of contributions was cal knowledge and its theoretical reflection thoroughly revised and prepared for publica in scientific theories. tion together with additionally invited papers The analysis of images thus constitutes an for this book. The result is a volume which important branch of the history of science we hope corresponds to the original inten that on the one hand is conceived of as part tion of the Network to contribute to a histori of a more general history of culture and on cal reconstruction of the role of images in the the other hand as a historical epistemology of history of science, still neglected because of knowledge. This book is not a systematic and the traditional focus of the history of science comprehensive account of scientific images on texts corresponding to a concentration on and the early modern period.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 320 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The aim of the book is to present the state of the art of the theory of symmetric (Hermitian) matrix Riccati equations and to contribute to the development of the theory of non-symmetric Riccati equations as well as to certain classes of coupled and generalized Riccati equations occurring in differential games and stochastic control. The volume offers a complete treatment of generalized and coupled Riccati equations. It deals with differential, discrete-time, algebraic or periodic symmetric and non-symmetric equations, with special emphasis on those equations appearing in control and systems theory. Extensions to Riccati theory allow to tackle robust control problems in a unified approach.The book is intended to make available classical and recent results to engineers and mathematicians alike. It is accessible to graduate students in mathematics, applied mathematics, control engineering, physics or economics. Researchers working in any of the fields where Riccati equations are used can find the main results with the proper mathematical background.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 596 pp. Englisch.
