Computer simulation studies in condensed matter physics form a rapidly developing field making sigificant contributions to important physical problems.
This book presents a computational scheme for calculating the electronic properties of crystalline systems at an ab-ini tio Hartree-Fock level of approximation.
The idea of devoting a complete book to this topic was born at one of the Workshops on Nonlinear and Turbulent Processes in Physics taking place reg- ularly in Kiev.
Historically, one of the basic issues in control systems design has been robustness: the ability of a controlled plant to withstand variations in or lack of knowledge of its dynamics.
Correlation Effects in Low-Dimensional Electron Systems describes recent developments in theoretical condensed-matter physics, emphasizing exact solutions in one dimension including conformal-field theoretical approaches, the application of quantum groups, and numerical diagonalization techniques.
The purpose of this volume is to give a detailed account of a series of re- sults concerning some ergodic questions of quantum mechanics which have the past six years following the formulation of a generalized been addressed in Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy by A.
At the present moment, after the success of the renormalization group in providing a conceptual framework for studying second-order phase tran- sitions, we have a nearly satisfactory understanding of the statistical me- chanics of classical systems with a non-random Hamiltonian.
Interacting many-body systems are the main subjects ofresearch in theoretical condensed matter physics, and theyare the source of both the interest and the difficulty inthis field.
For a system consisting of a random medium with roughboundaries, the governing (Bethe-Salpeter) equation forboundary-value transport problems can be written in a formsuch that the medium and the boundaries are treatedon anequal footing.
In the past three decades there has been enormous progressin identifying the essential role that nonlinearity playsin physical systems, including supporting soliton-likesolutions and self-trapped sxcitations such as polarons.
A little more than a decade ago my colleagues and I faced the necessity for providing a database management system which might commonly serve a number of different types of computer aided design applications at different manufacturing enterprises.
This book deals with one of the fundamental problems of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: the explanation of large-scale dynamics (evolution differential equations) from models of a very large number of interacting particles.
This fourth volume of Advances in Computer Graphics gathers together a selection of the tutorials presented at the EUROGRAPHICS annual conference in Nice, France, Septem- ber 1988.
For four decades, information theory has been viewed almost exclusively as a theory based upon the Shannon measure of uncertainty and information, usually referred to as Shannon entropy.
Die in den vergangenen Jahren außerordentlich gesteigerte Leistungsfähigkeit sowohl der Arbeitsplatzrechner als auch der Kommunikationstechnik für ihre Vernetzung erschließen sinnvolle Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für immer weitere und umfangreichere Arbeitsbereiche.
The concept of this book was developed during the Winter Seminar held in the Austrian mountains at the Alpengasthof Zeinisjoch, Tirol-Vorarlberg, from February 27 to March 3, 1988.
This volume is the proceedings of the Hiroshima Symposium on Elementary Excitations in Quantum Fluids, which was held on August 17 and 18, 1987, in Hiroshima, Japan, and was attended by thirty-two scientists from seven countries.
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition in Nondestructive Evaluation (NOE) of Materials was held August 19-22, 1987 at the Manoir St-Castin, Lac Beauport, Quebec, Canada.
This volume contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "e;Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots"e;, which was held in Maratea, Italy, during the week Apri I 28 - May 3, 1986.
The genesis of the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) upon which this volume is based, occurred during the summer of 1986 when we came to the realization that there had been significant progress during the early 1980's in the field of superconducting electronics and in applications of this technology.
In these lectures we summarize certain results on models in statistical physics and quantum field theory and especially emphasize the deep relation- ship between these subjects.
This book contains the edited version of lectures and selected papers presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE ON COMPUTER AIDED OPTIMAL DESIGN: Structural and Mechanical Systems, held in Tr6ia, Portugal, 29th June to 11th July 1986, and organized by CEMUL -Center of Mechanics and Materials of the Technical University of Lisbon.
The development of the modern theory of metals and alloys has coincided with great advances in quantum-mechanical many-body theory, in electronic structure calculations, in theories of lattice dynamics and of the configura- tional thermodynamics of crystals, in liquid-state theory, and in the theory of phase transformations.
