Mathematical Olympiad Challenges offers a rich collection of problems assembled by coaches of the U.S. Olympiad Team. The book is ideal for problem-solving courses and teacher development, for self-study, and for competition training. The Second Edition features 400 additional problems and solutions.

This is a volume consisting of selected papers that were presented at the 3rd St. Petersburg Workshop on Simulation held at St. Petersburg, Russia, during June 28-July 3, 1998.

What is striking is that the classical gas dynamic system is incomplete to describe the behavior of a gas in the continuum limit (or in the limit that the mean free path of the gas molecules vanishes).

This is a survey of developments, results, and applications in stochastic analysis, control theory, optimization and applications. It should be a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers and professionals in applied mathematics, operations research and engineering.

A reference for the field of particle modelling - the study of dynamical behaviour of solids and fluids in response to external forces, with the solids and fluids modelled as systems of atoms and molecules.

In a mathematically precise manner, this book presents a unified introduction to deterministic control theory. It includes material on the realization of both linear and nonlinear systems, impulsive control, and positive linear systems.

Key topics in the theory of real analytic functions are covered in this text,and are rather difficult to pry out of the mathematics literature.; alternative characterizations of real analytic functions, surjectivity of partial differential operators, And the Weierstrass preparation theorem.

Discusses the statistical procedures to evaluate the assumptions of different distributions for the data observed, the validity of models such as linear models, generalized linear models, and additive models. This book is suitable for professionals and researchers interested in reliability, applied statistics, and statistical inference.

- A nilpotent orbit is an orbit of the adjoint action of G on g which contains the zero element of g in its closure. (For the special linear group 2 G = SL(n,C), whose Lie algebra 9 is all n x n matrices with trace zero, an adjoint orbit consists of all matrices with a given Jordan canonical form;

Surveys advances in mathematical systems theory and control. This book addresses cross-section of major research directions: hybrid systems theory, robust control and stability of linear and nonlinear systems, parametrization of linear systems and control of infinite dimensional systems.

The Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis (ANHA) book series aims to provide the engineering, mathematical, and scientific communities with significant developments in harmonic analysis, ranging from abstract har monic analysis to basic applications.

Nonlinear partial differential equations has become one of the main tools of mod ern mathematical analysis;

Harmonic maps are solutions to a natural geometrical variational prob lem. Harmonic maps are also closely related to holomorphic maps in several complex variables, to the theory of stochastic processes, to nonlinear field theory in theoretical physics, and to the theory of liquid crystals in materials science.

A comprehensive exposition on analytic methods for solving science and engineering problems, written from the unifying viewpoint of distribution theory and enriched with many modern topics which are important to practioners and researchers. The book is ideal for a general scientific and engineering audience, yet it is mathematically precise.

The aim of this work is to present several topics in time-frequency analysis as subjects in abelian group theory. We could have developed Weyl-Heisenberg theory over free abelian groups of finite rank or more generally developed both topics over locally compact abelian groups.

Devoted to minimax theorems and their applications to partial differential equations, this text presents these theorems in a simple and unified way, starting from a quantitative deformation lemma. Many applications are given to problems dealing with lack of compactness.

The KK-theory of Kasparov is now approximately twelve years old; Nonethe less, it remains a forbiddingly difficult topic with which to work and learn. Finally, the subject itself has come to consist of a number of difficult segments, each of which demands prolonged and intensive study.

A survey of the major topics surrounding the modeling and analysis of problems in micromechanics of multicomponent systems, including conceptual and practical aspects. It provides both specialists and nonspecialists with an interdisciplinary perspective of ideas and methods used for modeling heterogeneous materials behavior and their applications.

The significantly expanded second edition of this book combines a fascinating account of the life and work of Bernhard Riemann with a lucid discussion of current interaction between topology and physics.

Rev. and corr. ed., with the assistance of Peter Renz

Arising from a special session of the history of logic at an American Mathematical Society meeting, the chapters explore technical innovations, the philosophical consequences of work during the period, and the historical and social context in which the logicians worked.

This softcover book summarizes Lyapunov design techniques for nonlinear systems and raises important issues concerning large-signal robustness and performance. The researcher who wishes to enter the field of robust nonlinear control could use this book as a source of new research topics.

If we define a real number c to be constructible if, and only if, the point (c, 0) can be constructed starting with the points (0,0) and (1,0), then we may show that the set of constructible numbers is a subfield of the field R of real numbers containing the field Q of rational numbers.

This book is an English translation of the famous "Green Book" by Lafontaine and Pansu (1979).

Basic Algebra and Advanced Algebra systematically develop concepts and tools in algebra that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or applied, aspiring or established.

In this volume, we have brought together a collection of experts working in this area of research in order to review some of the developments that have taken place over the years and also to present their new works and point out some open problems.

This textbook - a result of the author's many years of research and teaching - brings together diverse concepts of the versatile tool of multibody dynamics, combining the efforts of many researchers in the field of mechanics.

The history of Einstein's theory of general relativity and its role in modern cosmology have presented a challenge to historians and philosophers of science for a long time. This volume features a selection of current investigations in the field, all by leading experts therein.
