These proceedings contain the papers contributed to the International Work- shop on "e;Dimensions and Entropies in Chaotic Systems"e; at the Pecos River Conference Center on the Pecos River Ranch in Spetember 1985.
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;.
The objective of the present edition of this monograph is the same as that of earlier editions, namely, to provide readers with some mathemati- cal maturity a rigorous and modern introduction to the ideas and principal theorems of probabilistic information theory.
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.
Advances in microelectronic technology have made massivelyparallel computing a reality and triggered an outburst ofresearch activity in parallel processing architectures andalgorithms.
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.
This book presents a complete and accurate study of algebraic circuits, digital circuits whose performance can be associated with any algebraic structure.
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.
