This two-volume set collects more than 50 of the most groundbreaking contributions of Menahem Max Schiffer, on topics including geometric function theory, Riemann surfaces and partial differential equations. Includes annotation and invited commentaries.

This book explores some of the major turning points in the history of mathematics, ranging from ancient Greece to the present, demonstrating the drama that has often been a part of its evolution.

Pierre Grisvard, one of the most distinguished French mathematicians, died on April 22, 1994. He studied singulari ties coming from coefficients, boundary conditions, and mainly non-smooth domains, and left a legacy of precise results which have been published in journals and books.

The key elements controlling transcription initiation in eukaryotes are activator proteins (transactivators) that bind in a sequence-specific manner to short DNA sequences in the of genes. The do novo binding of an activator to DNA or, if already bound to DNA, its functional activation is what ultimately turns on a high-level expression of genes.

Symmetries appear in a quite natural way in many problems in physics and in differential or symplectic geometry, such as closed orbits for autonomous Hamiltonian systems, configurations of symmetric elastic plates under pressure, Hopf Bifurcation, Taylor vortices, convective motions of fluids, oscillations of chemical reactions, etc .

The theoretical foundation for real options goes back to the mid 1980s and the development of a model that forms the basis for many current applications of real option theory.

This introduction to nonlinear physics is designed around Maple's ability to perform symbolic computations, plot, animate, and permit readers to investigate nonlinear models. The two volumes of the previous edition have been combined into one, with an expanded theoretical discussion and many new examples. The disk contains Maple code. 272 illus.

The conference's interdisciplinary dialogue not only creates new mathematical tools, it often produces new research problems in the individual disciplines, aiming to develop rigorous numerical methods and computational tools for control design and analysis.

The main topics were optimal control, structure and control of nonlinear systems, stabilization and observers, differential algebra and systems theory, nonlinear aspects of Hoc theory, rigid and flexible mechanical systems, nonlinear analysis of signals.

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of stochastic independence in both the theoretical development and the practical appli cations of mathematical probability.

The use of symmetries and conservation laws in the qualitative description of dynamics has a long history going back to the founders of classical mechanics. This 'Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer' Prize-winning monograph on the intimate connection between symmetries, conservation laws, and reduction, treating the singular case in detail.

The 7th International Workshop in Analysis and its Applications (IWAA) was held at the University of Maine, June 1-6, 1997 and featured approxi mately 60 mathematicians. The principal theme for the fourth meeting (June 1-10, 1990, Kupuri) was Inner Product and Convexity Structures in Analysis, Mathematical Physics, and Economics.

Even though the Conference was intended as a European Conference, at first initiated by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), it was very gratifying that it also drew significant support from other important scientific societies, including the lEE, Signal Processing Society of IEEE, and the Acoustical Society of America.

This new book offers a guide to the theory and methods of progressive censoring. In many industrial experiments involving lifetimes of machines or units, experiments have to be terminated early. Progressive Censoring first introduces progressive sampling foundations, and then discusses various properties of progressive samples.

Our aim was to facilitate an exchange of ideas and techniques among mathematicians studying compact smooth transformation groups, alge braic transformation groups and related issues in algebraic and analytic geometry.

The research detailed in this monograph was originally motivated by our interest in control problems involving partial and delay differential equations.

The first volume of these seleeta is drawn from Schoenberg's remarkable work on Number Theory, Positive Definite Functions and Metric Geometry, Real and Complex Analysis, and on the Landau Problem.

As in the case of the two previous volumes published in 1986 and 1997, the purpose of this monograph is to focus the interplay between real (functional) analysis and stochastic analysis show their mutual benefits and advance the subjects.

This contributed volume is the result of a July 2010 workshop at the University of Wuppertal Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies which brought together world-wide experts from physics, philosophy and history, in order to address a set of questions first posed in the 1950s: How do we compare spacetime theories?

In the winter of 1978, Professor George P61ya and I jointly taught Stanford University's introductory combinatorics course. Enumerative combinatorics deals with the counting of combinatorial objects. Existential combinatorics studies the existence or nonexistence of combinatorial configurations.

The second half of the nineteenth century was an exciting time in European intellectual and social history. The in telligentsia became the source of most political and social activ ism in Russia, the social conscience and often the sole voice of protest against autocratic and reactionary policies.

A collection of articles in memory of Irene Dorfman and her research in mathematical physics. Among the topics covered are: the Hamiltonian and bi-Hamiltonian nature of continuous and discrete integrable equations; the t-function construction; and the r-matrix formulation of integrable systems.

The first of two volumes which aim to cover all established eukaryotic transcription factor systems that are direct targets for the signal transduction pathways. Topics covered include: ISGF3 (the interferon response); NF-KB (the pathogenic response); and dorsal (the morphogenetic response).
