Information, Coding and Mathematics is a classic reference for both professional and academic researchers working in error-correction coding and decoding, Shannon theory, cryptography, digital communications, information security, and electronic engineering.
Discrete-event simulation consists of a collection of techniques that when applied to a discrete-event dynamical system, generates sequences called sample paths that characterize its behavior.
Bayesian networks and decision graphs are formal graphical languages for representation and communication of decision scenarios requiring reasoning under uncertainty.
Semi-infinite programming (SIP) deals with optimization problems in which either the number of decision variables or the number of constraints is finite.
Combinatorial (or discrete) optimization is one of the most active fields in the interface of operations research, computer science, and applied math- ematics.
Decisions in uncertainty Scientific reaction to change During latter decades, the basic elements that have traditionally made up the society in wh ich economic activity develops, have been submitted to the effect of multiple aggressions as a consequence of the outcome of events motivated by the nature itself of the human being, always seeking a level of happiness that is never reached.
When the 50th anniversary of the birth of Information Theory was celebrated at the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Informa- tion Theory in Boston, there was a great deal of reflection on the the year 1993 as a critical year.
Though the volume covers 22 papers by 36 authors from 12 countries, the history in the background is bound to Hungary where, in 1973 Andras Pnkopa started to lay the foundation of a scientific forum, which can be a regular meeting spot for experts of the world in the field.
This book has grown out of graduate courses given by the author at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, as well as a series of seminars delivered at Curtin University of Technology, Western Australia.
In this book, John Vince has reviewed and edited the third edition and added chapters on statistics, Georg Riemann's hypothesis, eigen vectors, curves, analytic geometry and Fourier analysis.
This book evolved from notes originally developed for a graduate course, "e;Best Approximation in Normed Linear Spaces,"e; that I began giving at Penn State Uni- versity more than 25 years ago.
Today, certain computer software systems exist which surpass the computational ability of researchers when their mathematical techniques are applied to many areas of science and engineering.
Hadamard Matrix Analysis and Synthesis: With Applications to Communications and Signal/Image Processing presents the basic concepts of Sylvester's construction of Hadamard matrices, the eigenvalue-eigenvector decompositions, along with its relationship to Fourier transforms.
Conditional Monte Carlo: Gradient Estimation and Optimization Applications deals with various gradient estimation techniques of perturbation analysis based on the use of conditional expectation.
As the demand for data reliability increases, coding for error control becomes increasingly important in data transmission systems and has become an integral part of almost all data communication system designs.
Coding for Channels with Feedback presents both algorithms for feedback coding and performance analyses of these algorithms, including analyses of perhaps the most important performance criterion: computational complexity.
Object-Oriented Computer Simulation of Discrete-Event Systems offers a comprehensive presentation of a wide repertoire of computer simulation techniques available to the modelers of dynamic systems.
In the span of only a few decades, the finite element method has become an important numerical technique for solving problems in the subject of charged particle optics.
Discrete Event Systems: Analysis and Control is the proceedings of WODES2000 (the 5th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, held in Ghent, Belgium, on August 21-23, 2000).
Error Coding for Engineers provides a useful tool for practicing engineers, students, and researchers, focusing on the applied rather than the theoretical.
