In two comprehensive volumes, updated and revised in a second edition, this textbook spans elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic types, and several variables. This second part emphasizes functional analytic methods and applications to differential geometry.

The first of two volumes that comprehensively treat partial differential equations, this revised second edition focuses on geometric and complex variable methods involving integral representations. Topics such as Brouwer's mapping degree are treated in detail.

Here is a comprehensive, up-to-date exploration of modern electricity networks from production and distribution to deregulation, demand-side management and more. Topics include real-time electricity pricing, and regulation in an easily-monopolized industry.

Written by an international team of experts, this illustrated text provides advice on specialised team training, non technical skills and simulation. Simulation Training in Laparoscopy and Robotic Surgery is an important training aide for surgeons and residents interested in developing skills in this field.

In the early part of the eighteenth century, Francesco Bianchini of Verona turned his primitive telescope - a refractor of only a few centimetres aperture but with an enormous focal length of around 20 metres - on the planet Venus.

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computer methods, new applications, new philosophies, ...........

It seemed to me at that time and since, that as HIV presented ever more complex problems, they were best solved when considered within a wider context, using basic principles of individual medical specialties and applying them.

Multiple criteria decision making tools have been developing at an extremely rapid pace over the last few years. With its clear, concise approach combining industrial examples and case studies, this book will be of interest to graduate students, practicing engineers, and project managers.

This book discusses the use of the real numbers in theorem proving. We de scribe the rigorous definitional construction of the real numbers, using a new version of Cantor's method, and the formalization of a significant portion of real analysis.

This book introduces robust estimation and failure detection, with a thorough presentation of Kalman filtering and H-infinity filtering theory. The book also reviews the likelihood ratio method for failure detection and demonstrates how to design failure detectors that are sensitive to failures but insensitive to model variations.

The analysis and computational techniques associated with the navigation and guidance of spacecraft are now in a mature state of development. Attention is paid to all phases of a space mission including launch and re-entry, and whether culminating in an earth satellite or a deep space mission to planets or primitive bodies.

For the many different deterministic non-linear dynamic systems (physical, mechanical, technical, chemical, ecological, economic, and civil and structural engineering), the discovery of irregular vibrations in addition to periodic and almost periodic vibrations is one of the most significant achievements of modern science.

Abrasive water jet machining was introduced to manufacturing ten years ago and has been increasingly used for treating hard-to-machine and multi-layered materials and as an alternative tool for milling, turning, drilling and polishing.

The ZODIAC

Although the tenn quality does not have a precise and universally accepted definition, its meaning is generally well understood: quality is what makes the difference between success and failure in a competitive world.

Perspectives in Control comprises twenty-one essays by leading experts in the field of control. Many aspects of the field are discussed , including: - adaptive control; - nonlinear control; - supervisory control; - emerging applied fields such as mechatronics, air traffic control, power plants, and educational devices.

In recent years the distributed systems community has witnessed a growth in the number of conferences, leading to difficulties in tracking the literature and a consequent loss of awareness of work done by others in this important field.

Modern product development means problem solving by teams in complex working environments. Structured in six sections according to the main fields of influence, it provides a survey of the state of scientifically-based knowledge and the trends of engineering design research on the influences leading to successful product development.

An antenna with a self-complementary structure has a constant input impedance, independent of the source frequency and of the shape of the structure.

In this comprehensive and systematically presented text, the various aspects of modern power system operation and control are discussed.
