The principal purpose of this book is to provide an account of the circle of ideas, results and techniques, which emerged roughly over the last ten years in the study of Brownian motion and random obstacles.
Minimal Surfaces I is an introduction to the field of minimal surfaces and a presentation of the classical theory as well as of parts of the modern development centered around boundary value problems.
Complex systems are ubiquitous, and practically all branches of science ranging from physics through chemistry and biology to economics and sociology have to deal with them.
As man turns his attention from the overcrowded continents of this planet and explores the spaciousness of the ocean, the applications of ocean acoustics become increasingly numerous and important.
Following the concept of the EMS series this volume sets out to familiarize the reader to the fundamental ideas and results of modern ergodic theory and to its applications to dynamical systems and statistical mechanics.
Light observed from distant objects is found to be deflected by the gravitational field of massive objects near the line of sight - an effect predicted by Einstein in his first paper setting forth the general theory of relativity, and confirmed by Eddington soon afterwards.
The problems being solved by invariant theory are far-reaching generalizations and extensions of problems on the "e;reduction to canonical form"e; of various is almost the same thing, projective geometry.
In this corrected and enlarged edition of Borner's well respected textbook, you will find an up-to-date account of the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics upon which modern cosmology is founded.
Simple random walks - or equivalently, sums of independent random vari- ables - have long been a standard topic of probability theory and mathemat- ical physics.
Minimal surfaces I is an introduction to the field ofminimal surfaces and apresentation of the classical theoryas well as of parts of the modern development centeredaround boundary value problems.
In addition to making a number of minor corrections and updat- ing the references, we have expanded the section on "e;real-time system identification"e; in Chapter 10 of the first edition into two sections and combined it with Chapter 8.
In this book we describe the elementary theory of operator algebras and parts of the advanced theory which are of relevance, or potentially of relevance, to mathematical physics.

Ein halbes Jahrhundert nach seinem ersten Erscheinen zählt Hermann WeyJ's ,Raum-Zeit-Materie" noch immer zu den besten und wissenschaftlich geschlif fensten Darstellungen der Einsteinschen Theorie von Raum, Zeit und Gravi tation.
The word "e;elements"e; in the title of this book does not convey the implica- tion that its contents are "e;elementary"e; in the sense of "e;easy"e;: it mainly means that no prerequisites are required, with the exception of some basic background in classical physics and calculus.
Dive into the fascinating world of Digital Twins, Simulation, and the Metaverse, where the virtual/digital and physical worlds collide and reshape industries.
In the past 10 to 15 years, the quantum leap inunderstanding of nonlinear dynamics has radically changedthe frame of reference of physicists contemplating suchsystems.
The chapter on statistical-physics simulations has been enlarged, mainly by a dis- cussion of multispin coding techniques for the Ising model (bit-by-bit parallel oper- ations).
Caustics, Catastrophes and Wave Fields in a sense continues the treatment of the earlier volume 6 "e;Geometrical Optics of Inhomogeneous Media"e; by analysing caustics and their fields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory.
Graduate students who want to become familiar with advanced computational strategies in classical and quantum dynamics will find here both the fundamentals of a standard course and a detailed treatment of the time-dependent oscillator, Chern-Simons mechanics, the Maslov anomaly and the Berry phase, together with many worked examples throughout the text.
"e;Signal Processing and Systems Theory"e; is concerned with thestudy of H-optimization for digital signal processing anddiscrete-time control systems.
