This book is focused on mathematical analysis and rigorous design methods for fuzzy control systems based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models, sometimes called Takagi-Sugeno-Kang models.

Through a wealth of empirical evidence, this book compares the development trajectory of manufacturing technology and information technology between Japanese companies as well as between companies based in the US, Europe, Australia, India and China.

Describes highly effective information retrieval models for both smaller, classical data sets, and larger Web collections. In a shift away from heuristic, hand-tuned ranking functions and complex probabilistic models, the author presents feature-based retrieval models.

This well-structured book presents numerical simulations of shear localization in granular materials. The book uses a hypoplastic constitutive model enhanced by a characteristic length of the micro-structure in the form of a mean grain diameter.

Based on data from an experiment which ran for ten years, this book summarizes the results of the Atmospheric Physics Department of the St. Petersburg University and the Main Geophysical Observatory.

An account of the fundamental physics of all types of microclusters, outlining the dynamics and static properties of this phase of matter intermediate between a solid and a molecule. The volume also reviews developments in the field of microclusters.

International financial markets play an increasingly important role. There can be no doubt that over the past twenty years the size of financial markets have grown at a faster pace than the size of the markets for goods and services. This book discusses the debate on the possible separation of the financial sector and real economy.

This monograph generalizes several known results on the topic and considers a number of fresh problems. Combinatorics, probability theory and complexity theory are used in the proofs, as well as concepts from discrete mathematics and computer science.

This text covers most of the theoretical foundations and mathematical derivations that will be used in higher-level related subjects such as signal processing, communication and control, minimizing the mathematical difficulty and computational burden.

Written by leading experts, this book contains recent research on group search optimization with applications in structural design. It details the latest research work related with particle swarm optimizer algorithm and group search optimizer algorithm.

This book provides an introduction to Fractional Calculus for scientists and engineers. Mathematical abstractions are discussed in a lucid manner, with physical mathematical and geometrical explanations, and several practical applications are given.

This book deals with expert evaluation models in the form of semantic spaces with completeness and orthogonality properties. The authors describe methods for constructing, analyzing and comparing models, and offer examples drawn from a variety of fields.

This book presents the fundamentals of discrete information theory (measurement and mathematical modeling of sources and transmission channels) and of coding theory (compression, error control and encryption} using many examples including Genomic Coding.

This book deals with the physics of cosmic ray diffusion theory, focusing on the physics of nonlinear transport of cosmic rays through turbulent interplanetary or interstellar plasma. The author proposes future research that could advance the field.

This text on software engineering and knowledge management is comprised of self-contained chapters that provide clearly-stated learning objectives, in-depth presentations, practical applications, detailed references for further study and useful exercises.

This monograph treats the usefulness of flavor physics as probes of the TeV scale, with the aim of providing an introduction to the emerging LHC era. By concentrating only with the TeV scale connection, a large part of the B factory output can be bypassed.

In this text, two planning approaches for integrated airline scheduling are presented. One follows the traditional sequential approach, and the other uses metaheuristics to offer a truly simultaneous approach to airline scheduling.

This thorough treatment of 3D robotic mapping focuses on acquiring spatial models of physical environments through mobile robots. In it, new solutions to the 6D SLAM problem for 3D laser scans are proposed and a wide variety of applications are presented.

Quantum mechanics and the Schrodinger equation are the basis for the de scription of the properties of atoms, molecules, and nuclei. Here we present a description of the local properties of the wave functions of a collection of particles, in particular the asymptotic properties when one of the particles is far away from the others.

In this ambitious book, the authors challenge mainstream economic theory to present a new theoretical concept on modern economic reality. The book reveals in detail the key notions of the sociodynamic multiplier and the rational behavior of the state.

This volume introduces new approaches to modeling strongly nonlinear behaviour of structural mechanical units: beams, plates and shells or composite systems. The text draws on bifurcation theory and chaos, emphasizing control and stability of objects and systems.

This book shows how to improve accuracy of position tracking, viewing rough terrain locomotion as a holistic problem. Proposes a mechanical structure allowing smooth motion over obstacles with limited wheel slip, using sensors which improve position estimates.

This book marks a paradigm shift in medical science. It explores topics in epidemiology, mathematical modeling and uncertainty within the framework of fuzzy sets and dynamic systems, giving new ways to predict, diagnose and treat various ailments.

Written by Ron Alterovitz and Ken Goldberg, this monograph combines ideas from robotics, physically-based modeling, and operations research to develop new motion planning and optimization algorithms for image-guided medical procedures.

This book is the first ever to deal exclusively with this class of operations. It offers an introduction to Fuzzy Implications, an analytical study of them, and an algebraic exploration into the structures that exist on the set of all FIs.

Tells us which problems modern heuristics are expected to perform well on, and which should be left to traditional optimization methods. This book also teaches us to systematically design the "right" modern heuristic for a particular problem by providing a coherent view on design elements and working principles.
