Mathematics

A volume containing original essays from quite diverse fields in mathematics is something of a rarity, especially if renowned scientists show the width of their discipline to the reader.

One-dimensional dynamics has developed in the last decades into a subject in its own right.

This monograph contains the results of our joint research over the last ten years on the logic of the fixed point operation.

Relational methods can be found at various places incomputer science, notably in data base theory, relationalsemantics of concurrency, relationaltype theory, analysisof rewriting systems, and modern programming languagedesign.

Visualization in scientific computing is getting more and more attention from many people.

The purpose of this book is to give a streamlined introduction to the theory of (not necessarily symmetric) Dirichlet forms on general state spaces.

The mathematical theory of computation has given rise to two important ap- proaches to the informal notion of "e;complexity"e;: Kolmogorov complexity, usu- ally a complexity measure for a single object such as a string, a sequence etc.

Our life is a highly nonlinear process.

Since its very existence as a separate field within computerscience, computer graphics had to make extensive use ofnon-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry,solid modelling, and approximation theory.

There have been significant developments in the theory and practice of combinatorial optimization in the last 15 years.

This manual describes a PASCAL extension for scientific computation with the short title PASCAL-XSC (PASCAL eXtension for Scientific Computation).

Most would agree that the acquisition of problem-solvingability is a primary goal of education.

With the rapid growth of integration scale of VLSI chips and the present need for reliable computers in space exploration, fault diagnosis and fault toleran- ce have become more important than before, and hence reveal a lot of interest- ing topics which attract many researchers to make a great number of contribu- tions to this field.

Although many theoretical developments have been achieved inrecent years, the progress both in understanding andapplication of risk and reliability analysis in waterresources and environmental engineering remains slow.

It is not an exaggeration to state that most problems dealt with in economic theory can be formulated as problems in optimization theory.

A new model-theoretic approach to universal algebra is offered in this book.

This monograph deals with various classes of deterministic and stochastic continuous time optimal control problems that are defined over unbounded time intervals.

The primary aim of this monograph is to provide a formal framework for the representation and management of uncertainty and vagueness in the field of artificial intelligence.

This book is written to introduce a new approach to stereochemical problems and to combinatorial enumerations in chemistry.

The discipline of genetic epidemiology pertains to the vertical transmission of the susceptibility (predisposition) to a complex disease in a structured population.

Die Praxis der Erkenntnisgewinnung in den Bio-Wissenschaften arbeitet nach einem allgemein anerkannten Kanon von Verhaltensvorschriften, der sich auf Grund von Erfahrungen in der Forschungspraxis und nicht durch die theoretischen Reflexionen der Erkenntnistheorie herausgebildet hat.

A variety of standard problems in theoretical nuclear-structure physics is addressed by the well-documented computer codes presented in this book.

The interaction between geometry and theoretical physics has often been very fruitful.

In science, industry, public administration and documentation centers large amounts of data and information are collected which must be analyzed, ordered, visualized, classified and stored efficiently in order to be useful for practical applications.

This volume has a dual significance to the ESPRIT Basic Research efforts towards forging strong links between European academic and industrial teams carrying out research, often interdisciplinary, at the forefront of Information Technology.

Die Institution des Notdienstes, der regelmäßig die Telefonanamnese einsetzt, verdeutlicht in quantifizierbarer Weise den Wert dieser spezifischen Anamneseform für die allgemeinärztliche Praxis.

It is a surprising fact that so far almost no books have been published on KAM theory.

All up-to-date aspects of DNA technology are discussed partly in review lectures but mostly in research articles in this volume: new methods, population statistics for different restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP's), new developments dealing with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), biostatistical aspects of single locus and multi locus profiles as well as examples of practical applications in paternity testing and forensic stain analysis.
