Supersymmetry In Quantum and Classical Mechanics
1st Edition
By Bijan Kumar Bagchi
September 05, 2019
Following Witten's remarkable discovery of the quantum mechanical scheme in which all the salient features of supersymmetry are embedded, SCQM (supersymmetric classical and quantum mechanics) has become a separate area of research . In recent years, progress in this field has been dramatic and the ...
The Thermophysics of Porous Media
1st Edition
By T.J.T. Spanos
September 05, 2019
Models for the mechanical behavior of porous media introduced more than 50 years ago are still relied upon today, but more recent work shows that, in some cases, they may violate the laws of thermodynamics. In The Thermophysics of Porous Media, the author shows that physical consistency requires a ...
Asymptotics and Borel Summability
1st Edition
By Ovidiu Costin
December 04, 2008
Incorporating substantial developments from the last thirty years into one resource, Asymptotics and Borel Summability provides a self-contained introduction to asymptotic analysis with special emphasis on topics not covered in traditional asymptotics books. The author explains basic ideas, ...
Isometries in Banach Spaces: Vector-valued Function Spaces and Operator Spaces, Volume Two
1st Edition
By Richard J. Fleming, James E. Jamison
November 15, 2007
A continuation of the authors’ previous book, Isometries on Banach Spaces: Vector-valued Function Spaces and Operator Spaces, Volume Two covers much of the work that has been done on characterizing isometries on various Banach spaces. Picking up where the first volume left off, the book begins ...
Fractional Cauchy Transforms
1st Edition
By Rita A. Hibschweiler, Thomas H. MacGregor
November 01, 2005
Presenting new results along with research spanning five decades, Fractional Cauchy Transforms provides a full treatment of the topic, from its roots in classical complex analysis to its current state. Self-contained, it includes introductory material and classical results, such as those associated...
An Elementary Approach to Homological Algebra
1st Edition
By L.R. Vermani
May 28, 2003
Homological algebra was developed as an area of study almost 50 years ago, and many books on the subject exist. However, few, if any, of these books are written at a level appropriate for students approaching the subject for the first time.An Elementary Approach to Homological Algebra fills that ...
Canonical Problems in Scattering and Potential Theory - Two volume set
1st Edition
By S.S. Vinogradov, P. D. Smith, E.D. Vinogradova
April 26, 2002
Although the analysis of scattering for closed bodies of simple geometric shape is well developed, structures with edges, cavities, or inclusions have seemed, until now, intractable to analytical methods. This two-volume set describes a breakthrough in analytical techniques for accurately ...
Evolution Equations in Thermoelasticity
1st Edition
By Reinhard Racke, Song Jiang
June 21, 2000
Although the study of classical thermoelasticity has provided information on linear systems, only recently have results on the asymptotic behavior completed our basic understanding of the generic behavior of solutions. Through systematic work that began in the 80s, we now also understand the basic ...
Variational and Potential Methods in the Theory of Bending of Plates with Transverse Shear Deformation
1st Edition
By I. Chudinovich, Christian Constanda
June 13, 2000
Elastic plates form a class of very important mechanical structures that appear in a wide range of practical applications, from building bodies to microchip production. As the sophistication of industrial designs has increased, so has the demand for greater accuracy in analysis. This in turn has ...
Iterative Dynamic Programming
1st Edition
By Rein Luus
January 27, 2000
Dynamic programming is a powerful method for solving optimization problems, but has a number of drawbacks that limit its use to solving problems of very low dimension. To overcome these limitations, author Rein Luus suggested using it in an iterative fashion. Although this method required vast ...
Constructive Methods for Linear and Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems for Analytic Functions
1st Edition
By v Mityushev, S V Rogosin
November 29, 1999
Constructive methods developed in the framework of analytic functions effectively extend the use of mathematical constructions, both within different branches of mathematics and to other disciplines. This monograph presents some constructive methods-based primarily on original techniques-for ...
Matrix Variate Distributions
1st Edition
By A K Gupta, D K Nagar
October 22, 1999
Useful in physics, economics, psychology, and other fields, random matrices play an important role in the study of multivariate statistical methods. Until now, however, most of the material on random matrices could only be found scattered in various statistical journals. Matrix Variate ...
