Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The goal of the book is to summarize those methods for evaluating Feynman integrals that have been developed over a span of more than fifty years. This is a textbook version of the previous book (Evaluating Feynman integrals, STMP 211) of the author. Problems and solutions have been included, Appendix G has been added, more details have been presented, recent publications on evaluating Feynman integrals have been taken into account and the bibliography has been updated. The book characterizes the most powerful methods and illustrates them with numerous examples, starting from very simple ones and progressing to nontrivial examples. Feynman Integral Calculus explains how the problem of evaluation has become ever more important since what could be easily evaluated has already been evaluated years ago. It demonstrates and explains how to perform the newest important calculations, while showing how to choose adequate methods and combine evaluation methods in a non-trivial way.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 300 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Cyclotomic fields have always occupied a central place in number theory, and the so called 'main conjecture' on cyclotomic fields is arguably the deepest and most beautiful theorem known about them. It is also the simplest example of a vast array of subsequent, unproven 'main conjectures'' in modern arithmetic geometry involving the arithmetic behaviour of motives over p-adic Lie extensions of number fields. These main conjectures are concerned with what one might loosely call the exact formulae of number theory which conjecturally link the special values of zeta and L-functions to purely arithmetic expressions.Written by two leading workers in the field, this short and elegant book presents in full detail the simplest proof of the 'main conjecture'' for cyclotomic fields. Its motivation stems not only from the inherent beauty of the subject, but also from the wider arithmetic interest of these questions. The masterly exposition is intended to be accessible to both graduatestudents and non-experts in Iwasawa theory.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 132 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Functions which are defined on finite sets occur in almost all fields of mathematics. For more than 80 years algebras whose universes are such functions (so-called function algebras), have been intensively studied.This book gives a broad introduction to the theory of function algebras and leads to the cutting edge of research. To familiarize the reader from the very beginning on with the algebraic side of function algebras the more general concepts of the Universal Algebra is given in the first part of the book. The second part on fuction algebras covers the following topics: Galois-connection between function algebras and relation algebras, completeness criterions, clone theory.This book is an insdispensible source on function algebras for graduate students and researchers in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 688 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Projective geometry, and the Cayley-Klein geometries embedded into it, were originated in the 19th century. It is one of the foundations of algebraic geometry and has many applications to differential geometry.The book presents a systematic introduction to projective geometry as based on the notion of vector space, which is the central topic of the first chapter. The second chapter covers the most important classical geometries which are systematically developed following the principle founded by Cayley and Klein, which rely on distinguishing an absolute and then studying the resulting invariants of geometric objects.An appendix collects brief accounts of some fundamental notions from algebra and topology with corresponding references to the literature.This self-contained introduction is a must for students, lecturers and researchers interested in projective geometry.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 456 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The theme of the first Abel Symposium was operator algebras in a wide sense and this is the first volume in a prestigious new book series linked to the Abel prize. In the last 40 years operator algebras have developed from a rather special discipline within functional analysis to become a central field in mathematics often described as 'non-commutative geometry' (see for example the book 'Non-Commutative Geometry' by the Fields medalist Alain Connes). It has branched out in several sub-disciplines and made contact with other subjects. The contributions to this volume give a state-of-the-art account of some of these sub-disciplines and the variety of topics reflect to some extent how the subject developed. Norway has a relatively strong group of researchers in the subject, which contributed to the award of the first symposium in the series of Abel Symposia to this group.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 292 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The past two decades have witnessed an explosion of ideas in the general eld of nonlinear dynamics. In fact, it has become increasingly clear that areas as diverse as signal processing, lasers, molecular motors, and biomedical anomalies have a c- mon underlying thread: the dynamics that underpin these systems are inh- ently nonlinear. Yet, while there has been signi cant progress in the theory of nonlinear phenomena under an assortment of system boundary conditions andpreparations,thereexistcomparativelyfewdevicesthatactuallytake this rich behavior into account. In the presence of background noise (a given, for most practical appli- tions), the underlying dynamic phenomena become even richer, with the noise actually mediating cooperative behavior that, when properly understood, can lead to signi cant performance enhancements; a striking example of this - havior occurs, for example, when the underlying dynamics undergoes a bif- cation from static to oscillating behavior when a control parameter is swept through a critical value. If properly understood, theoretically, the (suitably quanti ed) system response can be signi cantly enhanced near the onset of the bifurcation. Examples of this behavior have been observed in a large n- ber of laboratory experiments on systems ranging from solid state lasers, to SQUIDs, and such behavior has been hypothesized to account for some of the more striking information processing properties of biological neurons. In many cases, background noise can precipitate this behavior, thereby playing a signi cant role in the optimization of the response of these systems to small external perturbations.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 252 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The heart is a fantastic machine; during a normal lifetime it beats about 2.5 billion times and pumps 200.000 tons of blood through an enormous system of vessels extending 160.000 kilometres throughout the body. For centuries, man has tried to understand how the heart works, but there remain many unsolved problems, problems that have captured the attention of thousands of researchers worldwide. There is, for example, a huge amount of research being devoted to the analysis of single heart cells. Other areas of research include trying to understand how it works as a complete muscle, and how blood ows through the heart. The entire process is extremely complex. The history of bioelectricity can be traced back to the late eighteenth century and the experiments of Luigi Galvani. A century later, in 1887, Augustus Wallers managed to measure the electrical signal generated by the heart at the surface of the body [142]. His dog Jimmy earned a place in history by being the rst to have his heart measured in this way; see Figure 1.1. In 1903 Willem Einthoven [34] - veloped the rst commercial device for recording electrocardiograms (ECGs); see Figure 1.2.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 332 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book presents notions and ideas at the foundations of a statistical treatment of risks. The text is unlike that found in traditional mathematics literature and differs from typical textbooks in its verbal approach to many explanations and examples. The text is written for students who have studied elementary undergraduate courses in engineering mathematics, perhaps including a minor course in statistics. The focus is on statistical applications within the field of engineering risk and safety analysis. Coverage includes Bayesian methods. The knowledge of such tools facilitates the understanding of the role of probability in risk analysis and proper use of outputs given by software packages.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 292 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -When implementing mathematical models for pricing interest rate derivatives one must address a number of practical issues such as the choice of a satisfactory model, the calibration to market data, the implementation of efficient routines, and so on. This book explains how models work and how to implement them for concrete pricing.The 2nd edition of this successful book has several new features. The calibration discussion of the basic LIBOR market model has been enriched considerably, a discussion of historical estimation of the instantaneous correlation matrix and of rank reduction has been added, and a LIBOR-model consistent swaption-volatility interpolation technique has been introduced.The old sections devoted to the smile issue in the LIBOR market model have been enlarged into a new chapter. New sections on local-volatility dynamics, and on stochastic volatility models have been added, with a thorough treatment of the recently developed uncertain-volatility approach.The fast-growing interest for hybrid products has led to a new chapter, with a special focus devoted to the pricing of convertible bonds and inflation-linked derivatives.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 1040 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -An important part of the science of complexity is the study of emergent properties arising through dynamical processes in various types of natural and artificial systems. This is the aim of this book, which is the outcome of a discussion meeting within the first European conference on complex systems. It presents multidisciplinary approaches for getting representations of complex systems and using different methods to extract emergent structures. This carefully edited book studies emergent features such as self organization, synchronization, opening on stability and robustness properties. Invariant techniques are presented which can express global emergent properties in dynamical and in temporal evolution systems. This book demonstrates how artificial systems such as a distributed platform can be used for simulation used to search emergent placement during simulation execution.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 292 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -For a brief period during the latter part of World War II, Nevill F. Mott led a theoretical group at Fort Halstead in the United Kingdom that tackled scientific issues related to pressing war-time concerns. Among later awards and honors, Mott was knighted and a recipient of the Nobel Prize. While at Fort Halstead, he undertook an effort to theoretically describe the statistical fragmentation of munitions subjected to intense explosive loading. Mott`s original internal reports contain seminal theoretical concepts on the physics and statistics of dynamic fracture and fragmentation, which have provided the inspiration for numerous later modeling efforts and engineering formulae. Some of his most forward-looking thoughts on the micromechanical and molecular aspects of fracture are included in these publications. The present book surveys the theoretical analysis put forth by Mott with particular focus on his efforts to characterize the size and distribution of fragments resulting from a dynamic fragmentation event. Copies of the original internal reports of Mott and his co-workers are included. The book also pursues additional theoretical analysis with the intent of delving further into the physical ideas and unfinished analysis implicit in Mott`s original studies. This book will be of interest to all scientists and engineers concerned with the dynamic fracture and fragmentation of solid bodies subject to intense transient loads imparted by explosive detonation and high-velocity impact from both the historical and modern perspective.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 392 pp. Englisch.
