  • Number Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20
    • English
    This book is written for the student in mathematics. Its goal is to give a view of the theory of numbers, of the problems with which this theory deals, and of the methods that are used. We have avoided that style which gives a systematic development of the apparatus and have used instead a freer style, in which the problems and the methods of solution are closely interwoven. We start from concrete problems in number theory. General theories arise as tools for solving these problems. As a rule, these theories are developed sufficiently far so that the reader can see for himself their strength and beauty, and so that he learns to apply them. Most of the questions that are examined in this book are connected with the theory of diophantine equations - that is, with the theory of the solutions in integers of equations in several variables. However, we also consider questions of other types; for example, we derive the theorem of Dirichlet on prime numbers in arithmetic progressions and investigate the growth of the number of solutions of congruences.
  • Complex Analysis, Functional Analysis and Approximation Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 125
    • J. Mujica
    • English
    This proceedings volume contains papers of research of expository nature, and is addressed to research workers and advanced graduate students in mathematics. Some of the papers are the written and expanded texts of lectures delivered at the conference, whereas others have been included by invitation.
  • Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science VII

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 114
    • R. Barcan Marcus + 2 more
    • English
  • Stability of Functional Differential Equations

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    This book provides an introduction to the structure and stability properties of solutions of functional differential equations. Numerous examples of applications (such as feedback systrems with aftereffect, two-reflector antennae, nuclear reactors, mathematical models in immunology, viscoelastic bodies, aeroautoelastic phenomena and so on) are considered in detail. The development is illustrated by numerous figures and tables.
  • Handbook of Mathematical Economics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • English
    The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field. Volume I deals with Mathematical Methods in Economics, including reviews of the concepts and techniques that have been most useful for the mathematical development of economic theory. Volume II elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy.
  • Cubic Forms

    Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic
    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 4
    • Yu.I. Manin
    • English
    Since this book was first published in English, there has been important progress in a number of related topics. The class of algebraic varieties close to the rational ones has crystallized as a natural domain for the methods developed and expounded in this volume. For this revised edition, the original text has been left intact (except for a few corrections) and has been brought up to date by the addition of an Appendix and recent references.The Appendix sketches some of the most essential new results, constructions and ideas, including the solutions of the Luroth and Zariski problems, the theory of the descent and obstructions to the Hasse principle on rational varieties, and recent applications of K-theory to arithmetic.
  • Fermat Days 85: Mathematics for Optimization

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 129
    • J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty
    • English
    Optimization, as examined here, ranges from differential equations to problems arising in Mechanics and Statistics. The main topics covered are: calculations of variations and nonlinear elasticity, optimal control, analysis and optimization in problems dealing with nondifferentiable data, duality techniques, algorithms in mathematical programming and optimal control.
  • Large Scale Eigenvalue Problems

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 127
    • J. Cullum + 1 more
    • English
    Results of research into large scale eigenvalue problems are presented in this volume. The papers fall into four principal categories:novel algorithms for solving large eigenvalue problems, novel computer architectures, computationally-rele... theoretical analyses, and problems where large scale eigenelement computations have provided new insight.
