In our daily lives we conceive of our surroundings as an objectively given reality.

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.

This book offers a comprehensive dive into the rapidly evolving world of autonomous vehicles and their pivotal role in modern data collection and mission-critical operations.

Conformal invariance has been a spectacularly successful tool in advancing our understanding of the two-dimensional phase transitions found in classical systems at equilibrium.

The study of complex systems attracts the attention of many researchers in diverse fields.

The thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter has become a profound and challenging area of modern physics, both in theory and in experiment.

The theory of linear functional observers, which is the subject of this book, is increasingly becoming a popular researched topic because of the many advantages it presents in state observation and control system design.

The emphasis throughout the present volume is on the practical application of theoretical mathematical models helping to unravel the underlying mechanisms involved in processes from mathematical physics and biosciences.

Isoperimetric, measure concentration and random process techniques appear at the basis of the modern understanding of Probability in Banach spaces.

Living beings require constant information processing for survival.

Cellular automata were introduced in the first half of the last century by John von Neumann who used them as theoretical models for self-reproducing machines.

In recent years there has been a significant increase of interest in continuous-time Principal-Agent models, or contract theory, and their applications.

We read in order to know we are not alone, I once heard, and perhaps it could also be suggested that we write in order not to be alone, to endorse, to promote continuity.

This volume mainly deals with the dynamics of finitely valued sequences, and more specifically, of sequences generated by substitutions and automata.

The process of realizing the ground state of some typical (frustrated) quantum many-body systems, starting from the 'disordered' or excited states, can be formally mapped to the search of solutions for computationally hard problems.

Stochastic Energetics by now commonly designates the emerging field that bridges the gap between stochastic dynamical processes and thermodynamics.

The renormalization group (RG) has nowadays achieved the status of a meta-theory, which is a theory about theories.

This monograph is intended to present the fundamentals of the theory of abstract parabolic evolution equations and to show how to apply to various nonlinear dif- sion equations and systems arising in science.

This book on recent investigations of the dynamics of celestial bodies in the solar and extra-Solar System is based on the elaborated lecture notes of a thematic school on the topic, held as a result of cooperation between the SYRTE Department of Paris Observatory and the section of astronomy of the Vienna University.

But all the clocks in the city Began to whirr and chime: 'O let not Time deceive you, You cannot conquer Time.

This book is an extended version of lectures given by the ?

Quantum trajectory theory is largely employed in theoretical quantum optics and quantum open system theory and is closely related to the conceptual formalism of quantum mechanics (quantum measurement theory).

In the modern world of gigantic datasets, which scientists and practioners of all fields of learning are confronted with, the availability of robust, scalable and easy-to-use methods for pattern recognition and data mining are of paramount importance, so as to be able to cope with the avalanche of data in a meaningful way.

This lecture notes in physics volume mainly focuses on the semi classical and qu- tum aspects of percolation and breakdown in disordered, composite or granular s- tems.
