In spite of some recent applications of ultraproducts in algebra, they remain largely unknown to commutative algebraists, in part because they do not preserve basic properties such as Noetherianity. T
The purpose and motivation of these lectures can be summarized in the following two questions: • What is the ground state (and its properties) of dense matter? • What is the matter composition of a co
Most well known structures in planetary atmospheres and the Earth's oceans are jets or fronts and vortices, interacting with each other on a wide range of scales. The transition from one state to anot
This volume of Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics contains selected papers from the workshop of the BioLINK Special Interest Group (SIG) on Linking Literature, Information and Knowledge for Biology. The
Intersection cohomology assigns groups which satisfy a generalized form of Poincare duality over the rationals to a stratified singular space. This monograph introduces a method that assigns to certai
This book aims to coherently present applications of group analysis to integro-differential equations in an accessible way. The book will be useful to both physicists and mathematicians interested in
Ordinary differential equations play a central role in science and have been extended to evolution equations in Banach spaces. For many applications, however, it is difficult to specify a suitable nor
This is a collection of articles by Kai Lai Chung, previously published in the series Seminaire de Probabilites of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics, published on the occasion of the 2010 conference in
The electronic Schrodinger equation describes the motion of N-electrons under Coulomb interaction forces in a field of clamped nuclei. The solutions of this equation, the electronic wave functions, de
This volume deals with problems in the structure theory of separable infinite-dimensional Banach spaces, with a central focus on universality problems. This topic goes back to the beginnings of the fi
This book offers a new, fairly efficient, and robust alternative to analyzing multivariate data. The analysis of data based on multivariate spatial signs and ranks proceeds very much as does a tradit
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language, PROPOR 2010, held in Portp Alegre, Brazil, in April
This volume presents recent advances in continuous optimization; it is authored by four well-known experts in the field and presents classical as well as advanced material on currently active research
This volume contains papers presented at the Workshop on Branching Processes and Their Applications (WBPA09), held in Badajoz, Spain, April 20-23, 2009. These papers deal with theoretical and practica
This volume exposes the theory of biset functors for finite groups, which yields a unified framework for operations of induction, restriction, inflation, deflation and transport by isomorphism.
The process of realizing the ground state of some typical (frustrated) quantum many-body systems, starting from the `disordered' or excited states, can formally be mapped onto the search of solutions
Weyl groups are particular cases of complex reflection groups, i.e. finite subgroups of GLr(C) generated by (pseudo)reflections. These are groups whose polynomial ring of invariants is a polynomial al
"The book covers a variety of applications of modern atomic-scale modeling of materials in the area of nanoscience and nanostructured systems. By highlighting the most recent achievements obtained wit
The treatment of time in quantum mechanics continues to be a key challenge in the foundation of quantum theory. This book follows Time in Quantum Mechanics—Volume 1 and is the second volume to detail
This book offers an up-to-date overview of current research on Dynamics of Small Solar System Bodies and Exoplanets. In course-tested extensive chapters the authors cover topics of theoretical celesti
Using the quantum properties of single photons to exchange binary keys between two partners for subsequent encryption of secret data is an absolutely novel technology. Only a few years ago quantum cry
Vector fields on manifolds play a major role in mathematics and other sciences. In particular, the Poincare-Hopf index theorem gives rise to the theory of Chern classes, key manifold-invariants in geo

Decision Support Systems for Risk-Based Management of Contaminated Sites addresses decision making in environmental risk management for contaminated sites, focusing on the potential role of decision s
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental quantum ?eld theory of quarks and gluons. In order to discuss it in a mathematically well-de?ned way, the theory has to be regularized. Replacing space–
This introductory text has been expanded and revised to improve readability and reduce unneeded technical details. It also pays more attention to the increase of applications, especially non-equilibri
This volume details promising analytical and numerical techniques for solving challenging biomedical imaging problems, which trigger the investigation of interesting issues in various branches of math
This volume discusses the basic geometric contents of an image and presents a tree data structure to handle those contents efficiently. The nodes of the tree are derived from connected components of l
