This text on the statistical theory of nonequilibrium phenomena grew out of lecture notes for courses on advanced statistical mechanics that were held more or less regularly at the Physics Department of the Technical University in Munich.
As robots improve in efficiency and intelligence, there is a growing need to develop more efficient, accurate and powerful sensors in accordance with the tasks to be robotized.
Ever since the discovery of the five platonic solids in ancient times, the study of symmetry and regularity has been one of the most fascinating aspects of mathematics.
Die in diesem Band zusammengestellten Beiträge einer Seminarreihe am Zentrum für Graphische Datenverarbeitung behandeln Schnittstellenproblematiken aus einem aktuellen Bereich der CAD-Anwendungen.

The material included in this book was first presented in a series of lectures de- livered at the University of Minnesota in June 1983 in connection with the con- ference "e;Thermodynamics and Phase Transitions"e;.
This book contains the invited papers of an international symposium on Synergetics which was held at ZIF (Center for interdisciplinary research) at Bielefeld.
This volume gathers most of the lectures and communications presented at the meeting t held in Bordeaux from the 27th to the 29 h of September and entitled "e;Far from equi- librium : instabilities and structures"e;.
A knowledge of linear systems provides a firm foundation for the study of optimal control theory and many areas of system theory and signal processing.
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.
