Neuware -One of the basic ideas in differential geometry is that the study of analytic properties of certain differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles yields geometric and topological properties of the underlying base manifold. Symplectic spinor fields are sections in an L^2-Hilbert space bundle over a symplectic manifold and symplectic Dirac operators, acting on symplectic spinor fields, are associated to the symplectic manifold in a very natural way. They may be expected to give interesting applications in symplectic geometry and symplectic topology. These symplectic Dirac operators are called Dirac operators, since they are defined in an analogous way as the classical Riemannian Dirac operator known from Riemannian spin geometry. They are called symplectic because they are constructed by use of the symplectic setting of the underlying symplectic manifold. This volume is the first one that gives a systematic and self-contained introduction to the theory of symplectic Dirac operators and reflects the current state of the subject. At the same time, it is intended to establish the idea that symplectic spin geometry and symplectic Dirac operators may give valuable tools in symplectic geometry and symplectic topology, which have become important fields and very active areas of mathematical research.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 140 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In this revised and extended version of his course notes from a 1-year course at Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, the author provides an introduction - for an audience knowing basic functional analysis and measure theory but not necessarily probability theory - to analysis in a separable Hilbert space of infinite dimension. Moreover, some details have been added as well as some new material on dynamical systems with dissipative nonlinearities and asymptotic behavior for gradient systems.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 228 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The algorithmic problems of real algebraic geometry such as real root counting, deciding the existence of solutions of systems of polynomial equations and inequalities, finding global maxima or deciding whether two points belong in the same connected component of a semi-algebraic set appear frequently in many areas of science and engineering. In this textbook the main ideas and techniques presented form a coherent and rich body of knowledge.Mathematicians will find relevant information about the algorithmic aspects. Researchers in computer science and engineering will find the required mathematical background.Being self-contained the book is accessible to graduate students and even, for invaluable parts of it, to undergraduate students.This second edition contains several recent results, on discriminants of symmetric matrices, real root isolation, global optimization, quantitative results on semi-algebraic sets and the first single exponential algorithm computing their first Betti number. 676 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Image registration is an emerging topic in image processing with many applications in medical imaging, picture and movie processing. The classical problem of image registration is concerned with nding an appropriate transformation between two data sets. This fuzzy de nition of registration requires a mathematical modeling and in particular a mathematical speci cation of the terms appropriate transformations and correlation between data sets. Depending on the type of application, typically Euler, rigid, plastic, elastic deformations are considered. The variety of similarity p measures ranges from a simpleL distance between the pixel values of the data to mutual information or entropy distances. This goal of this book is to highlight by some experts in industry and medicine relevant and emerging image registration applications and to show new emerging mathematical technologies in these areas. Currently, many registration application are solved based on variational prin- ple requiring sophisticated analysis, such as calculus of variations and the theory of partial differential equations, to name but a few. Due to the numerical compl- ity of registration problems ef cient numerical realization are required. Concepts like multi-level solver for partial differential equations, non-convex optimization, and so on play an important role. Mathematical and numerical issues in the area of registration are discussed by some of the experts in this volume. Moreover, the importance of registration for industry and medical imaging is discussed from a medical doctor and from a manufacturer point of view.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 204 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Economic needs as well as ecological demands are major driving forces in improving chemical processes and plants. To meet these goals processes have to be intensified in order to get products of higher quality, to increase yield by reducing or even suppressing by-products and to minimise energy consumption. A preferred principle for such intensifications is process - tegration, especially integration of reaction and separation operations. S- entific research in this field has been boosted by certain extremely succe- ful examples like the Eastman-Kodak process for methyl acetate or the MTBE process which are milestones for this method. In 2002 the German Research Foundation defined process integration as one of the major - search topics for the next decade. In 1998 the Department of Biochemical- and Chemical Engineering at the University of Dortmund decided to pool its activities for concerted - forts in process integration and to form a joint research cluster. Our interest was to find out the general challenges as well as obstacles of integrated processes and to work out methods for their design and valuation. Soon it became clear that theoretical work only cannot give reasonable answers.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 380 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In one sense, deformation theory is as old as algebraic geometry itself: this is because all algebro-geometric objects can be ¿deformed¿ by suitably varying the coef cients of their de ning equations, and this has of course always been known by the classical geometers. Nevertheless, a correct understanding of what ¿deforming¿ means leads into the technically most dif cult parts of our discipline. It is fair to say that such technical obstacles have had a vast impact on the crisis of the classical language and on the development of the modern one, based on the theory of schemes and on cohomological methods. The modern point of view originates from the seminal work of Kodaira and Spencer on small deformations of complex analytic manifolds and from its for- lization and translation into the language of schemes given by Grothendieck. I will not recount the history of the subject here since good surveys already exist (e. g. [27], [138], [145], [168]). Today, while this area is rapidly developing, a self-contained text covering the basic results of what we can call ¿classical deformation theory¿ seems to be missing. Moreover, a number of technicalities and ¿well-known¿ facts are scattered in a vast literature as folklore, sometimes with proofs available only in the complex analytic category. This book is an attempt to ll such a gap, at least p- tially.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 356 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -When you edit a book, the editors should ask themselves, why are we - ing this and whom are we doing this for To whom could this book be valuable as a source of information and possibly inspiration and of course are there other books with similar topics on the market Indeed the mat- matical structure 'partial order' is explained in many mathematical te- books, which require different degrees of mathematical skills to comp- hend. Thus, as far as we can tell, all these books are dedicated directly towards mathematician working in the area of Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Informatics. Although partial order is very well known in quantum mechanics, especially within the context of Young-diagrams, l- erature stressing the application aspect of partial order seems to be not available. However, an increasing number of publications in scientific journals have in recent years appeared, applying partial order to various fields of chemistry and environmental sciences. A recent summary can be found in a special issue of the journal Match - Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 2000, edited by Klein and Brickmann. However, we believe that this journal possibly is too specific and as such it may not reach scientists actually applying partial order in various fields of research. Hence, we dared to initiate the editing of this book in order to address a broader au- ence and we were happy to convincing distinguished scientists working with different aspects of partial order theory to contribute to this book.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 424 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Information and communication technologies have been growing and - veloping steadily for as long as any of us can remember. Growth was p- ticularly strong in the last few decades, and fibre optic communication s- tems have become predominant whenever information is to be transmitted over medium or long distances. Even when the ¿telecommunication bubble¿ burst at the beginning of the new millennium, the only thing which vanished was the expectation of making a fortune by buying and reselling telecom device and equipment manufacturing companies; the upgrading of existing fibre optic links and the deployment of new ones continued unabated. The reason for the predominance of communication via optical fibres is the vast amount of information a single fibre can carry. However, in order to take advantage of this potential, it is mandatory to transmit different wavelength channels simultaneously over a single optical fibre, and the handling of these wavelength channels requires wavelength selective - vices or wavelength filters. Among the functionalities optical filters have to accomplish are the selection of single or several channels out of a larger number of channels, the separation of one channel wavelength from - wanted spurious noise at different wavelengths, filters have to support routing, enable the lossless (or low loss) combination of wavelengths, and they have to compensate for wavelength dispersion effects.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 484 pp. Englisch.
