The book presents surveys describing recent developments in most of the primary subfields of General Topology, and its applications to Algebra and Analysis during the last decade, following the previous editions (North Holland, 1992 and 2002). The book was prepared in connection with the Prague Topological Symposium, held in 2011. During the last 10 years the focus in General Topology changed and therefore the selection of topics differs from ...

Die neue U-Boot-Waffe ist der Stolz der japanischen Kriegsmarine. Die Jungfernfahrt des neuesten Bootes zieht nicht nur die Aufmerksamkeit des Kaiserhauses auf sich, sondern ist gleichzeitig eine Bewährungsprobe für die ausgesuchte Mannschaft. Doch kurz nach dem Auslaufen ereignet sich Mysteriöses: Das U-Boot scheint zu sinken und alle Besatzungsmitglieder verlieren das Bewusstsein. Als sie wieder erwachen, müssen sie mit Entsetzen feststellen...

Conflicts in the form of wars, or competition among countries and industrial institutions are plenty in human history. The introduction of game theory in the middle of the twentieth century shed insights and enabled researchers to analyze this subject with mathematical rigor. From the ground-breaking work of VonNeumann and Morgenston, modern game theory evolved enormously. In the last few decades, Dynamic game theory framework has been deepene...

The book provides a detailed exposition of the calculus of variations on fibre bundles and graded manifolds. It presents applications in such area's as non-relativistic mechanics, gauge theory, gravitation theory and topological field theory with  emphasis on energy and energy-momentum conservation laws. Within this general context the first and second Noether theorems are treated in the very general setting of reducible degenerate graded Lagr...

Das 2. Bataillon des 105. Rangerregiments ist eine auf Guerillataktiken trainierte Eliteeinheit im Kampf gegen die Ruul. Auf unzähligen Welten haben die Berufssoldaten unter dem Kommando von Major Ryan Flynn ihren Wert und ihren Mut unter Beweis gestellt. Umso frustrierter sind die Rangers, als sie dazu abkommandiert werden, die Miliz auf der abgelegenen Maguire-Kolonie auszubilden. Trotz ihrer Abneigung und Verachtung für die schlecht ausg...

Die ganze Welt in einer Seifenblase. Ein Generationenraumschiff ist auf seinem Weg ins Unbekannte. Die Hoffnung der Menschheit ruht auf den Schultern der Reisenden. Doch der Weg durchs Weltall steckt voller Gefahren und Überraschungen - innerhalb wie außerhalb der Schiffshülle. Ursula K. Le Guin zeigt sich in ihrem Spätwerk als gewohnt souveräne Erzählerin und großartige Stilistin. Ein Meisterwerk voller Dramatik und Schönheit - ein Buch z...

Nur knapp von einem Höllenplaneten entkommen, begibt sich Earl Dumarest auf dem Planeten Sacaweena auf die Suche nach der Substanz Ardeel, dem sogenannten Nektar des Himmels. Doch nicht die Halluzinationen erzeugende Droge ist der Grund, seinen Gefährten Hart Vardoon zu begleiten. Sacaweena nannte man einst Erce. Ein uralter Name für die Erde - und das eigentliche Ziel von Earl Dumarests Suche ... E. C. Tubbs Space Opera um Earl Dumarest fess...

Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering dealing with the optimization of complex processes or systems. It is concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of production and service systems. Computational Intelligence Systems find a wide application area in industrial engineering: neural networks in forecasting, fuzzy sets in capital budgeting, ant colony optimization in scheduling, Simulated Annealing in ...

This monograph covers the existing results regarding Green's functions for differential equations with involutions (DEI).The first part of the book is devoted to the study of the most useful aspects of involutions from an analytical point of view and the associated algebras of differential operators. The work combines the state of the art regarding the existence and uniqueness results for DEI and new theorems describing how to obtain Green's f...

The first volume (General Theory) differs from most textbooks as it emphasizes the mathematical structure and mathematical rigor, while being adapted to the teaching the first semester of an advanced course in Quantum Mechanics (the content of the book are the lectures of courses actually delivered.). It differs also from the very few texts in Quantum Mechanics that give emphasis to the mathematical aspects because this book, being written as ...

The book is devoted to recent research in the global variational theory on smooth manifolds. Its main objective is an extension of the classical variational calculus on Euclidean spaces to (topologically nontrivial) finite-dimensional smooth manifolds, to this purpose the methods of global analysis of differential forms are used. Emphasis is placed on the foundations of the theory of variational functionals on fibered manifolds - relevant geom...

Templates are used to generate all kinds of text, including computer code. The last decade, the use of templates gained a lot of popularity due to the increase of dynamic web applications. Templates are a tool for programmers, and implementations of template engines are most times based on practical experience rather than based on a theoretical background.   This book reveals the mathematical background of templates and shows interesting findi...

This manual provides solutions to approximately 500 problems appeared in various chapters of the text Principles of Mathematical Economics. In some cases, a detailed solution with the additional discussion is provided. At the end of each chapter, new sets of exercises are given.

This book contains entirely new results, not to be found elsewhere. Furthermore, additional results scattered elsewhere in the literature are clearly presented. Several well-known distributions such as Weibull distributions, exponentiated Burr type XII distributions and exponentiated exponential distributions and their properties are demonstrated. Analysis of real as well as well-simulated data are analyzed. A number of inferences based on a f...

The aim of this monograph is to present a general method of proving continuity of Lyapunov exponents of linear cocycles. The method uses an inductive procedure based on a general, geometric version of the Avalanche Principle. The main assumption required by this method is the availability of appropriate large deviation type estimates for quantities related to the iterates of the base and fiber dynamics associated with the linear cocycle. We es...

The aim of the present book is to give a systematic treatment of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations, i.e. how to recognize whether a system of differential equations can be treated as a system for extremals of a variational functional (the Euler-Lagrange equations), using contemporary geometric methods. Selected applications in geometry, physics, optimal control, and general relativity are also considered. The book includes the ...

This book is a collection of writings by active researchers in the field of Artificial General Intelligence, on topics of central importance in the field. Each chapter focuses on one theoretical problem, proposes a novel solution, and is written in sufficiently non-technical language to be understandable by advanced undergraduates or scientists in allied fields. This book is the very first collection in the field of Artificial General Intelli...

Every soul has an unconscious knowledge of the ultimate truth of things, a premise long taught by all great spiritual teachers, East and West, regularly experienced by those who follow the spiritual path. In the quest to help reestablish that universal connection, editor J. Douglas Kenyon has culled from the pages of Atlantis rising magazine this compilation of concise and well-illustrated articles by world-class researchers and theoreticians....

Die fünf Königreiche Gottes stehen vor weitreichenden Veränderungen. Die Merduks, unter ihrem mächtigen Feldherren Shar Baraz, haben das Bollwerk im Osten, die Metropole Aekir, einfach überrannt und lagern nun vor den Toren der westlichen Welt. Gleichzeitig bläst der Orden der Brüder vom Ersten Tag zu einer Säuberungsaktion gegen alles ungläubige Zauberervolk in den fünf Königreichen Gottes. Besonders in Hebrion hat der junge König Abeleyn unt...
