At the intersection of mathematics, engineering, and computer science sits the thriving field of compressive sensing. A Mathematical Introduction to Compressive Sensing uses a mathematical perspective to present the core of the theory underlying compressive sensing.

The last fifteen years have produced major advances in the mathematical theory of wavelet transforms and their applications to science and engineering.

The field of computational learning theory arose out of the desire to for mally understand the process of learning. Scholars in both fields came together to learn about each others' field and to look for common ground, with the ultimate goal of providing a new model of learning from geometrical examples that would be useful in computer vision.

This monograph is the first to develop a mathematical theory of gravitational lensing. Part III employs the ideas and results of singularity theory to put gravitational lensing on a rigorous mathematical foundation.

This volume has been created in honor of the seventieth birthday of Ted Harris, which was celebrated on January 11th, 1989. This volume has been organized around that theme, with papers covering four major subject areas of Ted's research: branching processes, percola tion, interacting particle systems, and stochastic flows.

This book provides an original look at the application of mathematical tools to specific questions in oncology. It presents mathematical methods most suitable for modeling different types of cancer treatment, from chemotherapy to antiangiogenic strategies.

This book synthesizes such tools as Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs partial differential inequalities and Linear Matrix Inequalities to focus on electromechanical applications with nonsmooth phenomena caused by dry friction, backlash, and sampled-data measurements.

Sliding Mode Control and Observation

In its broadest sense, nonlinear synthesis involves in fact the synthesis of sometimes so phisticated or complex control strategies with the aim of prescribing, or at least influencing, the evolution of complex nonlinear systems.

International Congresses on Mathematical Education (ICMEs), under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, are held every four years. The program for ICME 5 was planned and structured by an International Program Committee, and implemented by the National Program Committee in Australia.

Unsurprisingly because this is a remarkable man - accomplished engineer, gifted musician, sensitive humanist, talented teacher, analytical observer, felicitous writer - altogether a man with the kind of breadth and depth that we rarely produce these days, and even more rarely tolerate in an age that worships specialization.

Rational Homotopy Theory and Differential Forms

The fruitful method of constructing graded orders of special kind over a given order, culminating in applications of the construction of generalized Rees rings associated to divisors, is combined with the theory of orders over graded Krull domains.

In the research community the field of robotics has recently reached large size and respectability, but without answering the question, "What is robotics?" Rather than try to enumerate all of the things that are and are not robots, I will try to characterize the kinds of features that make a system a robot.

Examines systems of linear PDEs with constant coefficients, focusing attention on null solutions of Dirac systems. This provides a different way to look at some important questions which arise when one tries to develop multi-dimensional theories.

Ever since the introduction of the polymerase chain reaction (peR) in 1986, morphologists, whose interests lie in the analysis of intact tissue structures, have been attempting to adapt this technique to intact cells or tissue sections to detect low copy numbers of DNA or RNA in situ while preserving tissue morphology.

The self-avoiding walk is a mathematical model that has important applications in statistical mechanics and polymer science. The Self-Avoiding Walk provides the first unified account of the known rigorous results for the self-avoiding walk, with particular emphasis on its critical behavior.

The topics in this research monograph are at the interface of several areas of mathematics such as harmonic analysis, functional analysis, analysis on spaces of homogeneous type, topology, and quasi-metric geometry.

Intended as a self-contained introduction to measure theory, this textbook also includes a comprehensive treatment of integration on locally compact Hausdorff spaces, the analytic and Borel subsets of Polish spaces, and Haar measures on locally compact groups.

The twenty-six papers in this volume reflect the wide and still expanding range of Anil Nerode's work. Recursive model theory is the subject of papers by Hird, Moses, and Khoussainov & Dadajanov, while a combinatorial problem in recursive model theory is discussed in Cherlin & Martin's paper.

In 1959 John Backus presented a paper on a proposed international algebraic language which evolved into ALGOL 60. This set of two volumes aims to review the attempts over recent years to use programming languages based on ALGOL 60, using Backus' original document as an introduction.

¿¿Advances in science and technology are driven by the development of rigorous mathematical foundations for the study of both theoretical and experimental models. With certain methodological variations, this type of study always comes down to the application of analytic or computational integration procedures, making such tools indispensible. With a wealth of cutting-edge research in the field, Integral Methods in Science and Engineering: Progress in Numerical and Analytic Techniques provides a detailed portrait of both the construction of theoretical integral techniques and their application to specific problems in science and engineering. The chapters in this volume are based on talks given by well-known researchers at the Twelfth International Conference on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, July 23¿27, 2012, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. They address a broad range of topics, from problems of existence and uniqueness for singular integral equations on domain boundaries to numerical integration via finite and boundary elements, conservation laws, hybrid methods, and other quadrature-related approaches.  The contributing authors bring their expertise to bear on a number of topical problems that have to date resisted solution, thereby offering help and guidance to fellow professionals worldwide.                                                                                            Integral Methods in Science and Engineering: Progress in Numerical and Analytic Techniques will be a valuable resource for researchers in applied mathematics, physics, and mechanical and electrical engineering, for graduate students in these disciplines, and for various other professionals who use integration as an essential tool in their work.¿

This collection of selected chapters offers a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art mathematical methods and tools for modeling and analyzing cancer phenomena.

This textbook introduces variational methods and their applications to differential equations to graduate students and researchers interested in differential equations and nonlinear analysis.

The papers in this volume represent a selection of updated talks which were presented in an SDS sponsored International Workshop in Panporovo, Bulgaria, in September 1990. The aim of the text is to bring the reader up to date on research in set-valued analysis and differential inclusions.

Featuring research from experts in sliding mode control, this book presents new design schemes for implementing an optimal control having the output system as the only information of the vector state. The benefit is greater applicability to real-world systems.

This book-the first of its kind-presents general methods for feedback controller synthesis and optimization of multiscale systems, illustrating their application to thin-film growth, sputtering processes, and catalytic systems of industrial interest.

This book is a publication in Swiss Seminars, a subseries of Progress in Mathematics. It is an expanded version of the notes from a seminar on intersection cohomology theory, which met at the University of Bern, Switzerland, in the spring of 1983.

The Markov chain approximation methods are widely used for the numerical solution of nonlinear stochastic control problems in continuous time.
