In this book the author maintains that fertility declines independently of its “background”. Normally, fertility decline is thought to occur as a result of alteration in the socioeconomic background s
The volume is dedicated to Lev Sakhnovich, who made fundamental contributions in operator theory and related topics. Besides bibliographic material, it includes a number of selected papers related to
This book presents a treatise on the theory and modeling of second-order stationary processes, including an exposition on selected application areas that are important in the engineering and applied s
The Author shows that modelling the uncertain cash flow dynamics of an investment project deserves careful attention in real options valuation. Focusing on the case of commodity price uncertainty, a b
This book presents up-to-date research developments and novel methodologies on fuzzy control systems. It presents solutions to a series of problems with new approaches for the analysis and synthesis o
Revised and updated edition of the classic of advanced statistics. Uses concepts of gambling to develop important ideas in probability theory. "Strongly recommended." — Journal of the American Statist
Essays in Natural Resource and Environmental Economics is a collection of Professor Batabyal's previously published and unpublished papers on the subject of natural resource and environmental economic
This book is intended as a text for a two-quarter or two-semester post-calculus introduction to probability and mathematical statistics for undergraduate students in their junior or senior year, and a
This book presents the fundamental theory for non-standard diffusion problems in movement ecology. Levy processes and anomalous diffusion have shown to be both powerful and useful tools for qualitativ
?There are several techniques to study noncooperative dynamic games, such as dynamic programming and the maximum principle (also called the Lagrange method). It turns out, however, that one way to cha
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) inventory model first appeared in 1913, and in its centennial, it is still one of the most important inventory models. Despite the abundance of both classical and ne
"Discrete event systems (DES) have become pervasive in our daily life. Examples include (but are not restricted to) manufacturing and supply chains, transportation, healthcare, call centers, and finan
Networked control systems are increasingly ubiquitous today, with applications ranging from vehicle communication and adaptive power grids to space exploration and economics. The optimal design of suc
This book contains theoretical and application oriented methods to treat models of dynamical systems involving non smooth nonlinearities. These non smooth nonlinearities are introduced to take into ac
Writing for mathematicians, physicists, and engineers studying processes associated with probabilistic interpretation, Sabelfeld (computational mathematics and mathematical geophysics, Russian Academy
The great advances made in large-scale integration of semiconductors and the resulting cost-effective digital processors and data storage devices determine the present development of automation. The a
The scope of this book is the field of evolutionary genetics. The book contains new methods for simulating evolution at the genomic level. It sets out applications using up to date Monte Carlo simulat
Conformal invariance has been a spectacularly successful tool in advancing our understanding of the two-dimensional phase transitions found in classical systems at equilibrium. This volume sharpens ou
Electromagnetic complex media are artificial materials that affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves in surprising ways not usually seen in nature. Because of their wide range of important appl
This book focuses on various aspects of dynamic game theory, presenting state-of-the-art research and serving as a testament to the vitality and growth of the field of dynamic games and their applicat
From the Preface… The preparation of this book started in 2004, when George B. Dantzig and I, following a long-standing invitation by Fred Hillier to contribute a volume to his International Series in
An updated guide to risk analysis and modeling Although risk was once seen as something that was both unpredictable and uncontrollable, the evolution of risk analysis tools and theories has changed t
Unravels Complex Problems through Quantum Monte Carlo MethodsClusters hold the key to our understanding of intermolecular forces and how these affect the physical properties of bulk condensed matter.
A wide variety of problems in engineering and applied science can be formulated as diffusion processes on motion groups. This textbook takes the unique perspective of presenting underlying equations
Control and communications engineers, physicists, and probability theorists, among others, will find this book unique. It contains a detailed development of approximation and limit theorems and method
This book is unique because of its focus on the practical implementation of the simulation and estimation methods presented. The book will be useful to practitioners and students with only a minimal
This book is a collection of Amitrajeet A Batabyal's most important papers on the environment and economic development. This book's uniqueness stems from the fact that it uses novel modeling tools tha
This groundbreaking book extends traditional approaches of risk measurement and portfolio optimization by combining distributional models with risk or performance measures into one framework. Througho
More than a decade ago, world-renowned control systems authority Frank L. Lewis introduced what would become a standard textbook on estimation, under the title Optimal Estimation, used in top universi
This book presents both the fundamentals and the major research topics in statistical physics of systems out of equilibrium. It summarizes different approaches to describe such systems on the thermody
