This book provides an introduction to four central problemsin analytic number theory. These are(1) the problem of estimating the number of integerpoints in planar domains(2) the problem of the dis
The decision of Springer-Verlag to publish this book in English came as a pleasant surprise. The fact is that I started writing the first version of the book back in 1978. I wished to attract attentio
This book contains a unified treatment of a class of problems of signal detection theory. This is the detection of signals in addi- tive noise which is not required to have Gaussian probability den- s
This book deals with the optimal control of solutions of fully observable Ito-type stochastic differential equations. The validity of the Bellman differential equation for payoff functions is proved a

This brilliantly illustrated second edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the subject. It is written primarily from the point of view of the paediatric radiologist but will be
New Directions in Computational Economics brings together for the first time a diverse selection of papers, sharing the underlying theme of application of computing technology as a tool for achieving
The average age of the world’s population is increasing at an unprecedented rate and this increase is changing the world. This “Silver tsunami” emphasizes the need to provide advanced training in epid
This volume presents selected new information concerning biological and hormonal therapies of cancer. Chapters on biologic therapy contain information on the role of interferon in the hematologic m
Control analysis and design of large nuclear reactors requires a suitable mathematical model representing the steady state and dynamic behavior of the reactor with reasonable accuracy. This task is, h
This book addresses researchers and practitioners interested in modeling, prediction and forecasting of natural systems based on nonlinear dynamics. It is a practical guide to data analysis and to the
The Epstein-Barr virus was discovered 15 years ago. Since that time an immense body of information has been accumu- lated on this agent which has come to assume great signifi- cance in many different
The present publication on karst hydrology and physical speleology combines two subjects which have up to now been treated separately. The two fields of knowledge have gone their separate ways, less a
Since the first drawings left on walls of ancient caves, human beings have been fascinated with that unique phenomenon of the animal kingdom, the presence of horns and antlers. From the mythical ''uni
This work comprises the proceedings of a conference held last year in Rhodes, Greece, to assess developments during the last 20 years in the field of nonlinear dynamics in geosciences. The volume has
