Searching is an important process in most AI systems, especially in those AI production systems consisting of a global database, a set of production rules, and a control system.
I have been pleased with the favourable reception of the first edition of this book and I am grateful to have the opportunity to prepare this second edition.
A volume of this nature containing a collection of papers has been brought out to honour a gentleman - a friend and a colleague - whose work has, to a large extent, advanced and popularized the use of stochastic point processes.
The numerical solution of stochastic differential equations is becoming an in- dispensible worktool in a multitude of disciplines, bridging a long-standing gap between the well advanced theory of stochastic differential equations and its application to specific examples.
This monograph contains: - ten papers written by the author, and co-authors, between December 1988 and October 1998 about certain exponential functionals of Brownian motion and related processes, which have been, and still are, of interest, during at least the last decade, to researchers in Mathematical finance; - an introduction to the subject from the view point of Mathematical Finance by H.
Das vorliegende Buch behandelt die unter dem Namen der konflu enten hypergeometrischen Funktion bekannte höhere transzendente Funktion, der in den physikalischen und technischen Anwendungen der Mathematik eine besonders in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten ständig steigende Bedeutung zukommt.

In many fields of science and practice large amounts of dataand informationare collected for analyzing and visualizinglatent structures as orderings or classifications forexample.
A mathematician who has taken the romantic decision to devote himself to biology will doubtlessly look upon cell kinetics as the most simple and natural field of application for his knowledge and skills.
Planning in a general sense is concerned with the design of communication and decision making mechanisms in organizations where information and choice are decentralized.
These notes are in part based on a course for advanced students in the applications of stochastic processes held in 1978 at the University of Konstanz.
Generalizations of the classical concept of a convexfunction have been proposed in various fields such aseconomics, management science, engineering, statistics andapplied sciences during the second half of this century.
The use of probabilistic methods in the biological sciences has been so well established by now that mathematical biology is regarded by many as a distinct dis- cipline with its own repertoire of techniques.
Over the past three years I have grown accustomed to the puzzled look which appears on people's faces when they hear that I am a mathematician who studies sleep.
In the course of one's research, the expediency of meeting contractual and other externally imposed deadlines too often seems to take priority over what may be more significant research findings in the longer run.
The articles of these proceedings arise from a NSF-CBMS regional conference on the mathematical modeling of the hearing process, that was held at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the summer of 1980.
In seminars and graduate level courses I have had several opportunities to discuss modeling and analysis of time series with economists and economic graduate students during the past several years.
