This book studies certain spaces of Riemannian metrics on both compact and non-compact manifolds. These spaces are defined by various sign-based curvature conditions, with special attention paid to positive scalar curvature and non-negative sectional curvature, though we also consider positive Ricci and non-positive sectional curvature.

This book explores the non-interventional aspects ofinterventional pulmonology, focusing on diseases of the central airways.

In recent years great strides have been made toward understanding the pathogenesis and clinical aspects of BPD, which is the most common chronic lung disease affecting infants.

Different facets of interplay between harmonic analysis andapproximation theory are covered in this volume. The topics included areFourier analysis, function spaces, optimization theory, partial differentialequations, and their links to modern developments in the approximation theory.

This contributed volume considers recent advances in dynamic games and their applications, based on presentations given at the 16th Symposium of the International Society of Dynamic Games, held July 9-12, 2014, in Amsterdam.

This volume is a selection of written notes corresponding to courses taught at the CIMPA School: "New Trends in Applied Harmonic Analysis:Sparse Representations, Compressed Sensing and Multifractal Analysis".

The understanding of molecular informa tion handling in nature is essential for the molecular optimization in chem istry, molecular biology, molecular pharmacology and therefore - as an ex ample - for the development of specifically acting drugs.

This volume presents self-contained survey articles on modern research areas written by experts in their fields. The articles are accessible to graduate students and researches from other fields of mathematics or physics while also being of value to experts, as they report on the state of the art in the respective fields.

Ich verstehe unter eine~ Architektonik die Kunst der Systeme ( Ksnt, Kritik der reinen Vernunft ) 0 Einführung 0.1 Dieser Bericht ist zunächst eine technische Voruntersuchung zu einer Computersimulation. Er bezieht sich jedoch auf ein geistes­ wissenschaftliches Problem und ist notwendigerweise davon geprägt. Die Grundideen zur vorliegenden Arbeit entstanden während eines Gedankenaustausches mit Prof. Gottherd Günther und mit Prof. Heinz von Feerater em Electrical Engineering Research Laboretory der University cf Illincis in Urbane, im August 1963. Es ging demals um die notwendigen funktionalen Eigenschaften eines Automaten der, dem Menschen ähnlich, selbstreflektive Prozesse vollziehen kannte. Deraus entstand im gleichen Jahr ein erster Entwurf eines Automa­ ten mit selbstreflektiven Eigenschaften am Centrc Electrcnico de Calculc der Universidad Necicnal Autonome de Maxico. Dieser Auto­ met generierte durch miteinander konkurrierende Teilautomaten ( Urteilserzeuger ) und mit verschiedenen Algorithmen, sich zum Teil widersprechende Urteile über die Zustände von Untermengen 25 eines Universums aus 2 bits. Er besaß 13 Freiheitsgrade, die durch je einen stochastischen Genaretor gesteuert wurden, um ·ver­ schiedene Subsysteme von Urteilen darüber, welche Zustände im Uni­ versum herrschen, gegeneinender auszuspielen. Diese Subsysteme er­ zeugten in ihrem Disput eine Art "inneren Dialog" des Automaten mit Selbstenzweiflung und Selbstkorrektur als notwendige Eigen­ schaften einer Selbstreflexicn.

A colloquium on operator theory was held in Vienna, Austria, in March 2004, on the occasion of the retirement of Heinz Langer, a leading expert in operator theory and indefinite inner product spaces.

Alfred Tarski was one of the two giants of the twentieth-century development of logic, along with Kurt Goedel. These areas include the theory of truth in formalized languages, decision methods and undecidable theories, foundations of geometry, set theory, and model theory, algebraic logic, and universal algebra.
