This book has as its subject the boundary value theory of holomorphic functions in several complex variables, a topic that is just now coming to the forefront of mathematical analysis. For one variable, the topic is classical and rather well understood. In several variables, the necessary understanding of holomorphic functions via partial differential equations has a recent origin, and Professor Stein's book, which emphasizes the potential-theoretic aspects of the boundary value problem, should become the standard work in the field.

This textbook on the calculus of variations leads the reader from the basics to modern aspects of the theory. One-dimensional problems and the classical issues such as Euler-Lagrange equations are treated, as are Noether's theorem, Hamilton-Jacobi theory, and in particular geodesic lines, thereby developing some important geometric and topological aspects. The basic ideas of optimal control theory are also given. The second part of the book deals with multiple integrals. After a review of Lebesgue integration, Banach and Hilbert space theory and Sobolev spaces (with complete and detailed proofs), there is a treatment of the direct methods and the fundamental lower semicontinuity theorems. Subsequent chapters introduce the basic concepts of the modern calculus of variations, namely relaxation, Gamma convergence, bifurcation theory and minimax methods based on the Palais-Smale condition. The prerequisites are knowledge of the basic results from calculus of one and several variables. After having studied this book, the reader will be well equipped to read research papers in the calculus of variations.

Ce cours est une introduction A la modA(c)lisation mathA(c)matique et A l'analyse numA(c)rique pour la chimie molA(c)culaire quantique, un champ peu connu des mathA(c)maticiens et pourtant riche en sujets d'investigation. Le point de vue choisi est celui du mathA(c)maticien appliquA(c). Le cours est construit de maniA]re auto-consistante. Seules des notions de base en analyse fonctionnelle sont requises pour l'aborder. Les outils mathA(c)matiques plus A(c)laborA(c)s sont introduits progressivement et les connaissances nA(c)cessaires en physique et en thA(c)orie spectrale sont regroupA(c)es dans des annexes. On prA(c)sente d'abord les modA]les les plus utilisA(c)s en pratique. Puis, on analyse ces modA]les d'un point de vue mathA(c)matique (questions d'existence de solutions, d'unicitA(c), ...). On introduit ensuite les diffA(c)rentes stratA(c)gies numA(c)riques employA(c)es pour la rA(c)solution pratique, et on fournit, quand ceci est possible, des A(c)lA(c)ments d'analyse numA(c)rique de ces mA(c)thodes. Les liens existants entre les modA]les de la chimie molA(c)culaire et des sujets connexes sont aussi explorA(c)s: modA(c)lisation de la phase liquide, physique de l'A(c)tat cristallin, biologie, simulation des matA(c)riaux, ... Le cours peut aussi intA(c)resser le chimiste ou le physicien curieux de comprendre les techniques mathA(c)matiques dont relA]vent les modA]les qu'il utilise, et de dA(c)couvrir comment de telles techniques peuvent amA(c)liorer significativement l'efficacitA(c) et la qualitA(c) des simulations numA(c)riques.

The book is an introduction to the mathematical modelling and the numerical analysis for computational quantum chemistry. The text isself-consistent: no particular familiarity with the subject nor the mathematical tools is required. Only a basic training in functional analysis is necessary. The models are introduced and discussed. They are analyzed mathematically. The numerical techniques are presented and, when possible, also analyzed. Topics closely related to molecular simulation are also addressed, such as solid state physics, liquid state physics, biology, and materials science. The book can
also be useful for students and researchers of those fields, curious about the mathematical techniques and the numerical strategies.

Ce livre est une initiation aux approches modernes de l'optimisation mathematique de formes. Il s'appuie sur les seules connaissances de premiere annee de Master de mathematiques, mais permet deja d'aborder les questions ouvertes dans ce domaine en pleine effervescence. On y developpe la methodologie ainsi que les outils d'analyse mathematique et de geometrie necessaires a l'etude des variations de domaines. On y trouve une etude systematique des questions geometriques associees a l'operateur de Laplace, de la capacite classique, de la derivation par rapport a une forme, ainsi qu'un FAQ sur les topologies usuelles sur les domaines et sur les proprietes geometriques des formes optimales avec ce qui se passe quand elles n'existent pas, le tout avec une importante bibliographie.

This hands-on guide is primarily intended to be used in undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences and engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics. It introduces the necessary concepts where needed, with key points illustrated with worked examples and graphic illustrations. In contrast to traditional mathematical treatments it uses a combination of spreadsheet and calculus-based approaches, suitable as a quick and easy on-the-spot reference. The emphasis throughout is on practical strategies to be adopted in the laboratory.
Error analysis is introduced at a level accessible to school leavers, and carried through to research level. Error calculation and propagation is presented though a series of rules-of-thumb, look-up tables and approaches amenable to computer analysis. The general approach uses the chi-square statistic extensively. Particular attention is given to hypothesis testing and extraction of parameters and their uncertainties by fitting mathematical models to experimental data. Routines implemented by most contemporary data analysis packages are analysed and explained. The book finishes with a discussion of advanced fitting strategies and an introduction to Bayesian analysis.

Guicciardini presents a comprehensive survey of both the research and teaching of Newtonian calculus, the calculus of "fluxions", over the period between 1700 and 1810. Although Newton was one of the inventors of calculus, the developments in Britain remained separate from the rest of Europe for over a century. While it is usually maintained that after Newton there was a period of decline in British mathematics, the author's research demonstrates that the methods used by researchers of the period yielded considerable success in laying the foundations and investigating the applications of the calculus. Even when "decline" set in, in mid century, the foundations of the reform were being laid, which were to change the direction and nature of the mathematics community. The book considers the importance of Isaac Newton, Roger Cotes, Brook Taylor, James Stirling, Abraham de Moivre, Colin Maclaurin, Thomas Bayes, John Landen and Edward Waring. This will be a useful book for students and researchers in the history of science, philosophers of science and undergraduates studying the history of mathematics.

This book deals with a class of mathematical problems which involve the minimization of the sum of a volume and a surface energy and have lately been refered to as 'free discontinuity problems'. Examples of such problems come from fracture mechanics, image analysis, or the theory of phase transitions. A systematic introduction to this field, this book is highly suitable for graduate students, bridging the gap between research level texts and elementary textbooks on measure theory and calculus of variation. The first half of the book contains a comprehensive and updated treatment of the theory of Functions of Bounded Variation and of the mathematical prerequisites of that theory, that is Abstract Measure Theory and Geometric Measure Theory.

This text discusses existence and necessary conditions, such as Potryagin's maximum principle, for optimal control problems described by ordinary and partial differential equations. These necessary conditions are obtained from KuhnTucker theorems for nonlinear programming problems in infinite dimensional spaces. The optimal control problems include control constraints, state constraints and target conditions. Evolution partial differential equations are studied using semigroup theory, abstract differential equations in linear spaces, integral equations and interpolation theory. Existence of optimal controls is established for arbitrary control sets by means of a general theory of relaxed controls. Applications include nonlinear systems described by partial differential equations of hyperbolic and parabolic type and results on convergence of suboptimal controls.

Modelle von komplexen, dynamischen Systemen findet man heute nicht nur innerhalb der Nachrichten- und Regelungstechnik, sondern auch in den anderentechnischen Disziplinen, den Natur-, Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Umweltwissenschaften. Seitdem gr- ere elektronische Rechnerkapazit{ten verf}gbar sind, erm-glicht die numerische Simulation die Systemanalyse anhand dieser Modelle. Dieses Lehrbuch f}hrt in die Simulationsmethode ein, nachdem der notwendige erste Schritt, die Modellbildung ausf}hrlich behandelt wurde. Ein umfangreiches Kapitel istder Identifikation gewidmet, bei der aufgrund vorhandener Me daten Struktur und Parameter von Modellen festgelegt werden. Als Beispiele zur Illustration dieser interdisziplin{ren Me- thoden werden zwar nat}rliche undtechnische Systeme verwen- det, der Lernstoff wird jedoch unabh{ngig von speziellen An- wendungen formuliert. Mathematikkenntnisse entsprechend dem Vordiplom in den Ingenieurwissenschaften werden zwar voraus- gesetzt, der Autor, selbst Ingenieur, bem}ht sich jedoch, auch die notwendig abstrakten Inhalte f}r Nicht-Mathematiker verst{ndlich darzustellen.

Dieser Band Numerische Mathematik hat Prinzipien des numerischen Rechnens, numerische lineare Algebra und Naherungsmethoden in der Analysis zum Inhalt. Der Begriff der Approximation zieht sich als roter Faden durch den gesamten Text. Die Betonung liegt dabei weniger auf der Bereitstellung moglichst vieler Algorithmen als vielmehr auf der Vermittlung mathematischer Uberlegungen, die zur Konstruktion von Verfahren fuhren. Jedoch werden auch der algorithmische Aspekt und entsprechende Effizienzbetrachtungen gebuhrend berucksichtigt. An vielen Stellen geht der dargebotene Stoff uber den Inhalt einer einschlagigen Vorlesung zur numerischen Mathematik hinaus, so dass man beim Gebrauch des Buches neben einer solchen Vorlesung eine Auswahl treffen wird. Dem Charakter der Reihe Grundwissen Mathematik entsprechend sind zahlreiche historische Anmerkungen eingeflochten. Besonderer Wert wird auf Querverbindungen und motivierende Erklarungen gelegt. Das Buch eignet sich zum Selbststudium und auch als Begleittext zu Vorlesungen. Diese 2. Auflage wurde uberarbeitet und erganzt. Zu den Erganzungen gehort eine Darstellung der Idee der schnellen Fouriertransformation.

The authors present a unified treatment of basic topics that arise in Fourier analysis. Their intention is to illustrate the role played by the structure of Euclidean spaces, particularly the action of translations, dilatations, and rotations, and to motivate the study of harmonic analysis on more general spaces having an analogous structure, e.g., symmetric spaces.

The purpose of this book is to develop the stable trace formula for unitary groups in three variables. The stable trace formula is then applied to obtain a classification of automorphic representations. This work represents the first case in which the stable trace formula has been worked out beyond the case of SL (2) and related groups. Many phenomena which will appear in the general case present themselves already for these unitary groups.

In many dynamical systems, time delays arise because of the time it takes to measure system states, perceive and evaluate events, formulate decisions, and act on those decisions. The presence of delays may lead to undesirable outcomes; without an engineered design, the dynamics may underperform, oscillate, and even become unstable. How to study the stability of dynamical systems influenced by time delays is a fundamental question. Related issues include how much time delay the system can withstand without becoming unstable and how to change system parameters to render improved dynamic characteristics, utilize or tune the delay itself to improve dynamical behavior, and assess the stability and speed of response of the dynamics. Mastering Frequency Domain Techniques for the Stability Analysis of LTI Time Delay Systems addresses these questions for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with an eigenvalue-based approach built upon frequency domain techniques. Readers will find key results from the literature, including all subtopics for those interested in deeper exploration. The book presents step-by-step demonstrations of all implementations-including those that require special care in mathematics and numerical implementation-from the simpler, more intuitive ones in the introductory chapters to the more complex ones found in the later chapters. Maple and MATLAB code is available from the author's website. This multipurpose book is intended for graduate students, instructors, and researchers working in control engineering, robotics, mechatronics, network control systems, human-in-the-loop systems, human-machine systems, remote control and tele-operation, transportation systems, energy systems, and process control, as well as for those working in applied mathematics, systems biology, and physics. It can be used as a primary text in courses on stability and control of time delay systems and as a supplementary text in courses in the above listed domains.

Nonlinear Approaches in Engineering Applications 2 focuses on the application of nonlinear approaches to different engineering and science problems. The selection of the topics for this book is based on the best papers presented in the ASME 2010 and 2011 in the tracks of Dynamic Systems and Control, Optimal Approaches in Nonlinear Dynamics and Acoustics, both of which were organized by the editors. For each selected topic, detailed concept development, derivations and relevant knowledge are provided for the convenience of the readers. The topics that have been selected are of great interest in the fields of engineering and physics and this book is designed to appeal to engineers and researchers working in a broad range of practical topics and approaches.

This book provides a comprehensive presentation of classical and advanced topics in estimation and control of dynamical systems with an emphasis on stochastic control. Many aspects which are not easily found in a single text are provided, such as connections between control theory and mathematical finance, as well as differential games. The book is self-contained and prioritizes concepts rather than full rigor, targeting scientists who want to use control theory in their research in applied mathematics, engineering, economics, and management science. Examples and exercises are included throughout, which will be useful for PhD courses and graduate courses in general.Dr. Alain Bensoussan is Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair at UT Dallas and Director of the International Center for Decision and Risk Analysis which develops risk management research as it pertains to large-investment industrial projects that involve new technologies, applications and markets. He is also Chair Professor at City University Hong Kong.

First half of book covers complex number plane; functions and limits; Riemann surfaces, the definite integral; power series; meromorphic functions and much more. The second half deals with potential theory; ordinary differential equations; Fourier transforms; Laplace transforms and asymptotic expansion. Exercises included.

Vallombrosa Center was host during the week September 7-12, 1985 to about 40 mathematicians, physical scientists, and engineers, who share a common interest in free surface phenomena. This volume includes a selection of contributions by participants and also a few papers by interested scientists who were unable to attend in person. Although a proceedings volume cannot recapture entirely the stimulus of personal interaction that ultimately is the best justification for such a gathering, we do offer what we hope is a representative sampling of the contributions, indicating something of the varied and interrelated ways with which these classical but largely unsettled questions are currently being attacked. For the participants, and also for other specialists, the 23 papers that follow should help to establish and to maintain the new ideas and insights that were presented, as active working tools. Much of the material will certainly be of interest also for a broader audience, as it impinges and overlaps with varying directions of scientific development. On behalf of the organizing committee, we thank the speakers for excellent, well-prepared lectures. Additionally, the many lively informal discussions did much to contribute to the success of the conference.
