Rota's early work was in analysis, more specifically, in operator theory, differ ential equations, ergodic theory, and probability theory. Later, in the 1990's, Rota returned to some of the problems in analysis and probability theory which motivated his work in combinatorics.

This book is primarily a research monograph that presents in a unified man ner some recent research on a class of hybrid dynamical systems (HDS).

In the field known as "the mathematical theory of shock waves," very exciting and unexpected developments have occurred in the last few years. The stability theory of "viscous" shock waves has received a new, geometric perspective due to the work of Kevin Zumbrun and collaborators, which offers a spectral approach to systems.

Highlights developments in nonlinear analysis and differential equations. This work covers: periodic solutions of systems with p-Laplacian type operators; bifurcation in variational inequalities; a geometric approach to dynamical systems in the plane via twist theorems; and asymptotic behavior and periodic solutions for Navier-Stokes equations.

"Categorical Perspectives" consists of introductory surveys as well as articles containing original research and complete proofs devoted mainly to the theoretical and foundational developments of category theory and its applications to other fields.

A comprehensive study of the computational aspects of the moduli of smoothness and the Global Smoothness Preservation Property (GSPP). It includes applications of moduli of smoothness and GSPP concepts to approximation theory, probability theory, numerical and functional analysis; and a bibliography and index.

The growing interest in these problems is reflected by the series of meetings held under the title "Free Boundary Problems: Theory and Applications" (Ox ford 1974, Pavia 1979, Durham 1978, Montecatini 1981, Maubuisson 1984, Irsee 1987, Montreal 1990, Toledo 1993, Zakopane 1995, Crete 1997, Chiba 1999).

This book is based on the papers presented at the International Conference 'Quality Improvement through Statistical Methods' in Cochin, India during December 28-31, 1996.

A work that is suitbale for graduate students and researchers working in the important area of partial differential equations with a focus on problems involving conservation laws. It includes a range of topics, from the treatment to results, dealing with solutions to 2D compressible Euler equations.

A hundred years ago it became known that deterministic systems can exhibit very complex behavior. For example, in throwing a die, we can study the limiting behavior of the system by viewing the long-term behavior of individual orbits.

This book is written to be a convenient reference for the working scientist, student, or engineer who needs to know and use basic concepts in complex analysis. This book is a handy com pendium of all basic facts about complex variable theory.

The problem of controlling the output of a system so as to achieve asymptotic tracking of prescribed trajectories and/or asymptotic re jection of undesired disturbances is a central problem in control the ory.

This text presents a self-contained and systematic survey of the theory and computation of conformal mappings of simply and multiply-connected regions onto the unit disk or canonical region. It provides coverage of the concepts and related numerial computations.

The natural measure of difficulty of a function is the amount of time needed to compute it (as a function of the length of the input). In recursion theory, by contrast, a function is considered to be easy to compute if there exists some algorithm that computes it.

This volume presents a development of the ideas of harmonic analysis with a special emphasis on application-oriented themes.

The idea of writing this book orIgmates from a suggestion of Bernard Sapoval: "Why don't you write it?" " The content ofthe book, in a shorter form, was first taught for four years as a course in Dipl6me d'Etudes Approfondies Sciences des Materiaux, headed by Prof.

Sri Gopal Mohanty has made pioneering contributions to lattice path counting and its applications to probability and statistics. Combinatorics and applications of combinatorial methods in probability and statistics has become a very active and fertile area of research in the recent past.

The applications range from basic studies of the driving forces of cell division (and thus life) via genetic modification of cells (for example, for plant breeding) to medical applications such as blood cell analysis and finally in vitro fertilization.

Phase transitions occur in several processes of physical and engineering interest. This text deals with the analysis of models of solid-liquid systems. Its main purpose is to offer an introduction to the classical Stefan problem and to some of its physically motivated extensions.

This volume contains the papers that have been presented at the Conference on Modeling and Control of Uncertain Systems held in Sopron, Hungary on September 3-7, 1990, organised within the framework of the activities of the System and Decision Sciences Program of IIASA - the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.

This self-contained monograph traces the evolution of the limit-point/limit-circle problem from its 1910 inception, in a paper by Hermann Weyl, to its modern-day extensions to the asymptotic analysis of nonlinear differential equations.

The University of Genoa - Ohio State University Joint Conference on New Trends in Systems Theory was held at the Badia di S.

This text offers a collection of survey and research papers by leading specialists in the field documenting the current understanding of higher dimensional varieties.

Recently there has been rapid progress towards understanding the separate theories of the strong, weak and electromagnetic inter actions within the framework of the standard SU(3) x SU(2) x U(l) model.

A compact, moderately general book which encompasses many fluid models of current interest...The book is written very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their solutions.

Overview For over a decade now, wavelets have been and continue to be an evolving subject of intense interest. A great deal of exposition is given in the beginning chapters and is meant to give the reader a firm understanding of the basics of the discrete and continuous wavelet transforms and their relationship.
