Information theory

The obvious question, when confronted with a book with the title of this one, is why "e;intelligent"e; data analysis?

Since Fall of 1993, when we completed the manuscript of our book "e;Semi- conductor-Laser Physics"e; [W.

Chaos: A Program Collection for the PC presents an outstanding selection of executable programs with introductory texts to chaos theory and its simulation.

Adaptronics is the term encompassing technical fields that have become known internationally under the names "e;smart materials"e;, "e;intelligent structures"e;, and "e;smart structures"e;.

For this third edition H.

Is knowledge an economic good?

The chapters of this book summarize the lectures delivered du ring the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Computational Methods in Mechanisms, that took place in the Sts.

The application of statistical methods to physics is essential.

Quantum Networks is focused on density matrix theory cast into a product operator representation, particularly adapted to describing networks of finite state subsystems.

Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems the book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent changeover times and batching.

obtained are still severely limited to low Reynolds numbers (about only one decade better than direct numerical simulations), and the interpretation of such calculations for complex, curved geometries is still unclear.

Cryptology, for millennia a "e;secret science"e;, is rapidly gaining in practical importance for the protection of communication channels, databases, and software.

Microsystem technology (MST) integrates very small (up to a few nanometers) mechanical, electronic, optical, and other components on a substrate to construct functional devices.

The first edition of "e;The Stability of Matter: From Atoms to Stars"e; was sold out after a time unusually short for a selecta collection and we thought it ap- propriate not just to make a reprinting but to include eight new contributionso They demonstrate that this field is still lively and keeps revealing unexpected featureso Of course, we restricted ourselves to developments in which Elliott Lieb participated and thus the heroic struggle in Thomas-Fermi theory where 7 3 5 3 the accuracy has been pushed from Z 1 to Z 1 is not includedo A rich landscape opened up after Jakob Yngvason's observation that atoms in magnetic fields also are described in suitable limits by a Thomas-Fermi-type theoryo Together with Elliott Lieb and Jan Philip Solovej it was eventually worked out that one has to distinguish 5 regionso If one takes as a dimensionless measure of the magnetic field strength B the ratio Larmor radius/Bohr radius one can compare it with N "e;' Z and for each of the domains 4 3 (i) B N 1 , 4 3 (ii) B "e;' N 1 , 4 3 3 (iii) N 1 B N , 3 (iv) B "e;' N , 3 (v) B N a different version ofmagnetic Thomas-Fermi theory becomes exact in the limit N --+ ooo In two dimensions and a confining potential ("e;quantum dots"e;) the situation is somewhat simpler, one has to distinguish only (i) B N, (ii) B "e;'N,

Computational geometry emerged from the field of algorithms design and anal- ysis in the late 1970s.

Evolutionary algorithms are general-purpose search procedures based on the mechanisms of natural selection and population genetics.

Model Based Fuzzy Control uses a given conventional or fuzzy open loop model of the plant under control to derive the set of fuzzy rules for the fuzzy controller.

Encouraged by the friendly reception given to the first edition, I have preserved its basic form and most of the details.

Since the first edition sold out in less than a year, we now present the revised second edition of Mainzer's popular book.

Fuzzy controllers are a class of knowledge based controllers using artificial intelligence techniques with origins in fuzzy logic.

The main contents and character of the monograph did not change with respect to the first edition.

In the past, the possibilities of structural optimization were restricted to an optimal choice of profiles and shape.

Nonlinearity is a fascinating element of nature whose importance has been appreciated for many years when considering large-amplitude wave motions observed in various fields ranging from fluids and plasmas to solid-state, chemical, biological, and geological systems.

Complexity and nonlinearity are prominent features in the evolution of matter, life, and human society.

A Program Collection for the PC presents an outstanding selection of executable programs with introductory texts on chaos theory and its simulation.

In the last decade there have been rapid developments in thefield of computer-based learning environments.

The asymmetry of natural phenomena under time reversal isstriking.

It would be hopeless to attempt to give a complete account of the history of the calculus of variations.

The enormous practical need for solving global optimization problems coupled with a rapidly advancing computer technology has allowed one to consider problems which a few years ago would have been considered computationally intractable.

This book arose from a series of lectures which I gave at the University of Heidelberg during the summer terms of 1979,1982 and 1986.

This book is an extensive revision of the earlier book with the same title, 1981.

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the Third International Conference and Exhibition on Engineering Software held at Imperial College, London during the period April 11th - 13th, 1983.

Schwerpunkte dieses anwendungsbezogenen Lehrbuches sind der Entwurf und die Abfrage von Datenbanken in Anwendersprachen.

VIII über den Inhalt im einzelnen unterrichtet das ausführliche Ver­ zeichnis.

The book guides the reader from the foundations of statisti-cal thermodynamics including the theory of intermolecularforces to modern computer-aided applications in chemical en-gineering and physical chemistry.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the development and present state of the theory of sensitivity of dynamic systems.

Expertensysteme sind Problemlösungsprogramme, die das Fachwissen und die Schlußfolgerungsfähigkeit von Experten nachbilden.

Dieser Band Numerische Mathematik hat Prinzipien des numerischen Rechnens, numerische lineare Algebra und Näherungsmethoden in der Analysis zum Inhalt.

Mit diesem Buch erlangen Sie Grundlagenwissen im Bereich der Computernetzwerke

Dieses Buch bietet Ihnen einen kompakten Überblick über das Thema Computernetzwerke.

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) consist of software-controlled computing devices communicating with each other and interacting with the physical world through sensors and actuators.
