  • Discourse Processing

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 8
    • A. Flammer + 1 more
    • English
    Research on discourse (or text) processing has only recently come into its own. It builds on the work of text analysis which has a long and distinguished history, but modern developments in psychology (e.g. memory research), artificial intelligence, linguistics and philosophy have contributed to this emergence in the last decade as a lively and promising research area.This book contains 46 selected and edited contributions from the International Symposium held in Fribourg in 1981, and represents a truly international overview of the developments in research on written and oral discourse. The contributions have been grouped according to problem area and not according to methodology, with the intention of focusing on the important issues in the field of discourse processing and of showing how diverse approaches contribute to a better understanding of the problems involved. The main themes are: text structure, coherence, inference, memory processes, attention and control, goal perspectives, and educational implications.

  • Coalition Formation

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24
    • H.A.M. Wilke
    • English
    A comprehensive view of coalition formation is presented here. Each of the chapters gives a summary of theories and research findings in a specific field of interest, at various levels of human and primate organisation.

  • The Mathematical Theory of Knots and Braids

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 82
    • S. Moran
    • English
    This book is an introduction to the theory of knots via the theory of braids, which attempts to be complete in a number of ways. Some knowledge of Topology is assumed. Necessary Group Theory and further necessary Topology are given in the book. The exposition is intended to enable an interested reader to learn the basics of the subject. Emphasis is placed on covering the theory in an algebraic way. The work includes quite a number of worked examples. The latter part of the book is devoted to previously unpublished material.

  • Mathematical and Conceptual Foundations of 20th-Century Physics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 100
    • G.G. Emch
    • English
    This book is primarily intended for Mathematicians, but students in the physical sciences will find here information not usually available in physics texts.The main aim of this book is to provide a unified mathematical account of the conceptual foundations of 20th-Century Physics, in a form suitable for a one-year survey course in Mathematics or Mathematical Physics. Emphasis is laid on the interlocked historical development of mathematical and physical ideas.

  • New Generalized Functions and Multiplication of Distributions

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 84
    • J.F. Colombeau
    • English
    This volume presents a new mathematical theory of generalized functions, more general than Distribution Theory, giving a rigorous mathematical sense to any product of a finite number of distributions and to heuristic computations of Quantum Field Theory. Although the physical motivations are emphasized, the book is also addressed to mathematicians with no knowledge of physics. This work opens a new domain of research in both pure and applied mathematics.

  • Topics in Functional Analysis over Valued Division Rings

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 77
    • J.B. Prolla
    • English

  • Trends in Mathematical Psychology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20
    • E. Degreef + 1 more
    • English
    This volume comprises a selection of the papers presented at the 14th European Mathematical Psychology Group Meeting, held in Brussels, and three invited lectures. Presented are results and developments in mathematical psychology, especially in the theory of perception and learning, order and measurement, and data analysis.

  • The Self in Anxiety, Stress and Depression

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 21
    • R. Schwarzer
    • English
    The focus of this book is on stressful experiences and emotional reactions. The common perspective is that self-related cognitions play an important role in describing and explaining the subjective experience of stress, anxiety and depression and the impact on academic performance and social interactions. The assumption of self-related cognitions as mediators in the regulation of one's behavior has a variety of consequences for different fields of applications in psychology.

  • Functional Analysis, Holomorphy and Approximation Theory II

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 86
    • G.I. Zapata
    • English

  • Functional Analysis: Surveys and Recent Results III

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 90
    • K.-D. Bierstedt + 1 more
    • English
    This volume contains 22 articles on topics of current interest in functional analysis, operator theory and related areas. Some of the papers have connections with complex function theory in one and several variables, probability theory and mathematical physics.Surveys of some areas of recent progress in functional analysis are given and related new results are presented. The topics covered in this volume supplement the discussion of modern functional analysis in the previous Proceedings volumes. Together with the previous volumes, the reader obtains a good impression of many aspects of present-day functional analysis and its applications. Parts of this volume can be used profitably in advanced seminars and courses in functional analysis.
