Stochastic processes are as usual the main subject of the Seminaire, with contributions on Brownian motion (fractional or other), Levy processes, martingales and probabilistic finance.
Collective behavior in systems with many components, blow-ups with emergence of microstructures are proofs of the double, continuum and atomistic, nature of macroscopic systems, an issue which has always intrigued scientists and philosophers.
In the fall of 1994, Edward Witten proposed a set of equations which give the main results of Donaldson theory in a far simpler way than had been thought possible.
The lecture courses of the CIME Summer School on Probabilistic Models for Nonlinear PDE's and their Numerical Applications (April 1995) had a three-fold emphasis: first, on the weak convergence of stochastic integrals; second, on the probabilistic interpretation and the particle approximation of equations coming from Physics (conservation laws, Boltzmann-like and Navier-Stokes equations); third, on the modelling of networks by interacting particle systems.
While optimality conditions for optimal control problems with state constraints have been extensively investigated in the literature the results pertaining to numerical methods are relatively scarce.
The aim of this book is to present a recently developed approach suitable for investigating a variety of qualitative aspects of order-preserving random dynamical systems and to give the background for further development of the theory.
Geometric Mechanics here means mechanics on a pseudo-riemannian manifold and the main goal is the study of some mechanical models and concepts, with emphasis on the intrinsic and geometric aspects arising in classical problems.
This volume includes the five lecture courses given at the CIME-EMS School on "e;Stochastic Methods in Finance"e; held in Bressanone/Brixen, Italy 2003.
Surveys the methods currently applied to study sums of infinite-dimensional independent random vectors in situations where their distributions resemble Gaussian laws.
These lecture notes by very authoritative scientists survey recent advances of mathematics driven by industrial application showing not only how mathematics is applied to industry but also how mathematics has drawn benefit from interaction with real-word problems.
The present book includes a set of selected papers from the fourth "e;International Conference on Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics"e; (ICINCO 2007), held at the University of Angers, France, from 9 to 12 May 2007.
This work is a research-level monograph whose goal is to develop a general combination, decomposition, and structure theory for branched coverings of the two-sphere to itself, regarded as the combinatorial and topological objects which arise in the classification of certain holomorphic dynamical systems on the Riemann sphere.
Spin glass theory is going through a stunning period of progress while finding exciting new applications in areas beyond theoretical physics, in particular in combinatorics and computer science.
This is yet another indispensable volume for all probabilists and collectors of the Saint-Flour series, and is also of great interest for mathematical physicists.
These Lecture Notes contain the material relative to the courses given at the CIME summer school held in Cetraro, Italy from August 29 to September 3, 2011.
Opening new directions in research in both discrete event dynamic systems as well as in stochastic control, this volume focuses on a wide class of control and of optimization problems over sequences of integer numbers.
This volume compiles three series of lectures on applications of the theory of Hamiltonian systems, contributed by some of the specialists in the field.
Modern notions and important tools of classical mechanics are used in the study of concrete examples that model physically significant molecular and atomic systems.
Dedicated to the eminent Russian mathematician Albert Shiryaev on the occasion of his 70th birthday, the Festschrift is a collection of papers, including several surveys, written by his former students, co-authors and colleagues.
In the last few years there has been a growing interest in the development of numerical techniques appropriate for the approximation of differential model problems presenting multiscale solutions.
These post-proceedings contain the revised versions of the accepted papers of the international workshop \Transactions and Database Dynamics"e;, which was the eighth workshop in a series focusing on foundations of models and languages for data and objects (FoMLaDO).
This book summarizes and highlights progress in our understanding of Dy- namical Systems during six years of the German Priority Research Program "e;Ergodic Theory, Analysis, and Efficient Simulation of Dynamical Systems"e; .
High-Performance Computers (HPC) have initiated a revolutionary develop- ment in research and technology since many complex and challenging prob- lems in this area can only be solved by HPC and a network in modeling, algo- rithms and software.
