Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is dedicated to our teacher and friend Hans Triebel. The core of the book is based on lectures given at the International Conference 'Function Spaces, Differential Operators and Nonlinear Analysis' (FSDONA--01) held in Teistungen, Thuringia / Germany, from June 28 to July 4,2001, in honour of his 65th birthday. This was the fifth in a series of meetings organised under the same name by scientists from Finland (Helsinki, Oulu) , the Czech Republic (Prague, Plzen) and Germany (Jena) promoting the collaboration of specialists in East and West, working in these fields. This conference was a very special event because it celebrated Hans Triebel's extraordinary impact on mathematical analysis. The development of the mod ern theory of function spaces in the last 30 years and its application to various branches in both pure and applied mathematics is deeply influenced by his lasting contributions. In a series of books Hans Triebel has given systematic treatments of the theory of function spaces from different points of view, thus revealing its interdependence with interpolation theory, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, nonlinear operators, entropy, spectral theory and, most recently, anal ysis on fractals. The presented collection of papers is a tribute to Hans Triebel's distinguished work. The book is subdivided into three parts: - Part I contains the two invited lectures by O.V. Besov (Moscow) and D.E. Edmunds (Sussex) having a survey character and honouring Hans Triebel's contributions. 492 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Geophysicists use seismic signals to image structures in theEarth's interior, to understand the mechanics of earthquake and volcanicsources, and to estimate their associated hazards. Keiiti Aki developed pioneering quantitative methods for extracting useful information fromvarious portions of observed seismograms and applied these methods to manyproblems in the above fields.This volume honors Aki's contributions with review papers and results fromrecent applications by his former students and scientific associatespertaining to topics spawned by his work. Discussed subjects includeanalytical and numerical techniques for calculating dynamic rupture and radiated seismic waves, stochastic models used in engineering seismology,earthquake and volcanic source processes, seismic tomography, properties oflithospheric structures, analysis of scattered waves, and more. The volumewill be useful to students and professional geophysicists alike. 369 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is about discrete-time, time-homogeneous, Markov chains (Mes) and their ergodic behavior. To this end, most of the material is in fact about stable Mes, by which we mean Mes that admit an invariant probability measure. To state this more precisely and give an overview of the questions we shall be dealing with, we will first introduce some notation and terminology. Let (X,B) be a measurable space, and consider a X-valued Markov chain ~. = {~k' k = 0, 1, . } with transition probability function (t.pJ.) P(x, B), i.e., P(x, B) := Prob (~k+1 E B I ~k = x) for each x E X, B E B, and k = 0,1, . The Me ~. is said to be stable if there exists a probability measure (p.m.) /.l on B such that (\*) VB EB. /.l(B) = Ix /.l(dx) P(x, B) If (\*) holds then /.l is called an invariant p.m. for the Me ~. (or the t.p.f. P). 208 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book concerns discrete-time homogeneous Markov chains that admit an invariant probability measure. The main objective is to give a systematic, self-contained presentation on some key issues about the ergodic behavior of that class of Markov chains. These issues include, in particular, the various types of convergence of expected and pathwise occupation measures, and ergodic decompositions of the state space.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 228 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This second volume of PDR SPECIAL TOPICS contains five review articles dealing with fungal diseases in humans as well as therapeutic approaches. The first chapter gives an account of the various growth forms of pathogenic fungi and classifies them based on their sexual cycle and on their RNA/DNA patterns. The second chapter describes the clinical manifestations of human fungal infections, their prevalence and epidemiology. The third chapter is devoted to diverse laboratory methods in the field of diagnosis of fungal infections, and the fourth and main chapter presents a complete overview of current antifungal therapy. The increase in fungal infections and the improvement of therapeutic options leading to a demand for reliable antifungal susceptibility testing is the topic of the closing chapter. The volume aims at the practitioner who wants to be abreast of the latest achievements in this field and advanced students who wish to further their studies in this important domain. 248 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Overview Since the early 1990s, fuzzy modeling and identification from process data have been and continue to be an evolving subject of interest. Although the application of fuzzy models proved to be effective for the approxima tion of uncertain nonlinear processes, the data-driven identification offuzzy models alone sometimes yields complex and unrealistic models. Typically, this is due to the over-parameterization of the model and insufficient in formation content of the identification data set. These difficulties stem from a lack of initial a priori knowledge or information about the system to be modeled. To solve the problem of limited knowledge, in the area of modeling and identification, there is a tendency to blend information of different natures to employ as much knowledge for model building as possible. Hence, the incorporation of different types of a priori knowledge into the data-driven fuzzy model generation is a challenging and important task. Motivated by our research into this topic, our book presents new ap proaches to the construction of fuzzy models for model-based control. New model structures and identification algorithms are described for the effec tive use of heterogenous information in the form of numerical data, qualita tive knowledge and first-principle models. By exploiting the mathematical properties of the proposed model structures, such as invertibility and local linearity, new control algorithms will be presented.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 288 pp. Englisch.…
