For the past five years, my editor at Springer-Verlag has asked me to write a second edition of this text that would incorporate new material on the quark model.
Conceived by Count Jacopo Francesco Riccati more than a quarter of a millennium ago, the Riccati equation has been widely studied in the subsequent centuries.
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.
he problem of analyzing sequences of images to extract three-dimensional T motion and structure has been at the heart of the research in computer vi- sion for many years.
This book is motivated largely by a desire to solve shape optimization prob- lems that arise in applications, particularly in structural mechanics and in the optimal control of distributed parameter systems.
Control technology is a new learning environment whichoffers the opportunity to take up the economic andeducational challenge of enabling people to adapt to newtechnologies and use them to solve problems.
The Background to the Institute The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) 'People and Computers - Applying an Anthropocentric Approach to Integrated Production Systems and Organisations' came about after the distribution of a NATO fact sheet to BruneI University, which described the funding of ASls.
Das Buch beschreibt den Entwurf und die Entwicklung des Expertensystems ICX, das, verbunden mit einem CAD-System, bei der Gestaltung, Dimensionierung, Planung und Ausführung einer Kunststoff-Metall-Klebung dem Konstrukteur hilfreich zur Seite steht.
The fields of integer programming and combinatorial optimization continue to be areas of great vitality, with an ever increasing number of publications and journals appearing.
In recent years there has been a considerable renewal of interest in the clas- sical problems of the calculus of variations, both from the point of view of mathematics and of applications.
Since the human organism is itself an open system, we are naturally curious about the behavior of other open systems with fluxes of matter, energy or information.
This volume contains selected papers presented at the "e;International Workshop on Computationally Intensive Methods in Simulation and Op- th th timization"e; held from 23 to 25 August 1990 at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (nASA) in La~enburg, Austria.
The first objective of statistical mechanics is to explain the fundamental laws of thermodynamics from first principles based on the atomic structure of matter.
The craft of designing mathematical models of dynamic objects offers a large number of methods to solve subproblems in the design, typically parameter estimation, order determination, validation, model reduc- tion, analysis of identifiability, sensi tivi ty and accuracy.
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.
In February 1992, I defended my doctoral thesis: Engineering Optimiza- tion - selected contributions (IMSOR, The Technical University of Den- mark, 1992, p.
The International Summer School on Mathematical Systems Theory and Economics was held at the Villa Monastero in Varenna, Italy, from June 1 through June 12, 1967.
Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals.
