Little do we reliably know about the Mott transition, and we are far from a complete understanding of the metal --insulator transition due to electr- electron interactions. The Hubbard model describes a Mott transition with a mere minimum of tunable par- eters, and various exact statements and even exact solutions exist in certain limiting cases.

This book takes the view that parallel to the pure arithmetic theory over number fields lies the algebraic-geometric theory of algebraic systems, where sections play the role of rational points. The author formulates analogs of classic diophantine problems.

The first edition of this book, published in German, came into being as the result of lectures which the authors held over a period of several years since 1953 at the Universities of Helsinki and Zurich. The present new English edition deviates at several points from the first edition (d.

This book presents a physicists view of life. The primary life functions of animals, such as eating, growing, reproducing and getting around all depend on motion: Motion of materials through the body, motion of limbs and motion of the entire body through water, air and on land.

What is particularly pleasant is the fact that the authors are quite successful in giving to the reader the feeling behind the demonstrations which are sketched. This really enhances the value of this book and puts it at the level of a particularly interesting reference tool.

Ever since its invention in 1929 the Dirac equation has played a fundamental role in various areas of modern physics and mathematics. Since the appearance of these standard texts many books (both physical and mathematical) on the non relativistic Schrodinger equation have been published, but only very few on the Dirac equation.

In contrast to other literature about B2B integration, this book presents a complete and concise overall architecture and discussion of various relevant technologies and standards. It also provides an impressiver reference list to product and research related information.

The most consistent signatures of climate warming have occurred at northern high latitudes (IPCC, 2001), and the potential impacts of a few degrees increase in surface temperature include a reduction in sea ice extent, a positive feedback to climate warming due to lowering of surface albedo, and changes to surface runo?

This book contains a comprehensive account of pricing models of financial derivatives. It covers risk neutral valuation theory, martingale measure, and tools in stochastic calculus required for the understanding of option pricing theory.

As one of the oldest natural sciences, mechanics occupies a certain pioneering role in determining the development of exact sciences through its interaction with mathematics. Mechanics, as it is talked about here, tradition ally includes a wide spectrum, ranging from applied mechanics, analytical and technical mechanics to modeling.

From the reviews: "The huge literature in risk theory has been carefully selected and supplemented by personal contributions of the author, many of which appear here for the first time. It will be of great interest to the actuary as well as to the statistician .

We switch to employ ing fuzzy arrival rates and fuzzy service rates to model the fuzzy queuing system in part three in Chapters 11 and 12. Two other items relating to fuzzy sets, needed in Chapters 13-17, are also in Chapter 2: (1) how we plan to handle the maximum/minimum of a fuzzy set;

This book addresses the general theory of motion of mechanical systems with Coulomb friction. A number of industrially relevant mechanisms are considered, including the Painleve-Klein scheme, epicyclic mechanisms, crank mechanisms, gear transmission, the link mechanism of a planing machine, and the slider of metal-cutting machine tools.

There are also new theoretical challenges where a "structural macro model" and a Schumpetrian model of innovation and full employment are presented as new approaches. Besides theoretical challenges the increasing global dynamics raise new problems of international policy coordination which could lead to unsustainable economic globalization.

Basic models and concepts of machine dynamics and motion control are presented in the order of the principal steps of machine design. The machine is treated as a coupled dynamical system, including drive, mechanisms and controller, to reveal its behavior at different regimes through the interaction of its units under dynamic and processing loads.

Deregulation, privatization and internationalization of the telecommunications industry has brought about enormous changes within both the European and world economy. The changing patterns of innovation in the digital economy have forced governments to consider new strategies to promote innovation, network effects and growth.

Deals with the influence of stoiciometry and order/disorder on materials properties. It summarizes the knowledge available in a comprehensive way.

Based on well-known lectures given at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, this book introduces analysis in a separable Hilbert space of infinite dimension. It starts from the definition of Gaussian measures in Hilbert spaces, concepts such as the Cameron-Martin formula, Brownian motion and Wiener integral are introduced in a simple way.

Game theory has already proved its tremendous potential for con?ict resolution problems in the ?elds of Decision Theory and Economics. The objective of this book is to present a systematic and focussed study of the application of fuzzy sets to two very basic areas of decision theory, namely Mathematical Programming and Matrix Game Theory.

Robot interaction control is one of the most challenging targets for industrial robotics. impedance, direct force control) are tackled and reshuffled in a geometrically consistent way for simplification of the task specification and enhancement of the execution performance.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is a journey towards improvement, guiding you through a continuous reassessment of yourself, your work and your organization.

The results of the theories are compared with observations and the success or inadequacies of the theories are highlighted. Topics of particular interest are: theory of the wind-driven circulation, the thermocline, the equatorial circulation and the abyssal circulation.

This book introduces the concepts and methodologies related to the modelling of complex phenomena occurring in materials processing, developing finite differences, finite volumes and finite elements through phase transformation, solid mechanics and fluid flow.

This book develops the fundamentals of technology cycles, technology acquisition, core technology management, and technology policy. The book has been tested on students undertaking MBA courses at Austins Technology Incubator, Texas, and on managers and executives at Oregons Silicon Forest.The books emphasis on marketing is a distinctive feature.

Going well beyond qualitative analogies between complex systems in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry, biology, sociology and economics, Synergetics uses tools from theoretical physics and mathematics to construct an unifying framework within which quantitative descriptions of complex, self-organizing systems can be made.

Offers a starting point for understanding the organization of an enterprise and subsequently for analyzing, (re)designing, and (re)engineering it. This book covers various issues in an integrated way including: business processes, information systems, and management control. It is intended for researchers and students in enterprise engineering.

Reflecting the trend to optimization through integrative approaches for engine, driveline and vehicle control, this book enables control engineers to understand engine and vehicle models necessary for controller design and also introduces mechanical engineers to vehicle-specific signal processing and automatic control.
