  • The Theory of Matrices

    With Applications
    • 2nd Edition
    • Peter Lancaster + 1 more
    • English
    In this book the authors try to bridge the gap between the treatments of matrix theory and linear algebra. It is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students seeking a foundation in mathematics, computer science, or engineering. It will also be useful as a reference book for those working on matrices and linear algebra for use in their scientific work.

  • Differential Manifolds and Theoretical Physics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 116
    • English

  • Analysis and Design of Algorithms for Combinatorial Problems

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 25
    • G. Ausiello + 1 more
    • English
    Combinatorial problems have been from the very beginning part of the history of mathematics. By the Sixties, the main classes of combinatorial problems had been defined. During that decade, a great number of research contributions in graph theory had been produced, which laid the foundations for most of the research in graph optimization in the following years. During the Seventies, a large number of special purpose models were developed.The impressive growth of this field since has been strongly determined by the demand of applications and influenced by the technological increases in computing power and the availability of data and software. The availability of such basic tools has led to the feasibility of the exact or well approximate solution of large scale realistic combinatorial optimization problems and has created a number of new combinatorial problems.

  • Equivalents of the Axiom of Choice, II

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 116
    • H. Rubin + 1 more
    • English
    This monograph contains a selection of over 250 propositions which are equivalent to AC. The first part on set forms has sections on the well-ordering theorem, variants of AC, the law of the trichotomy, maximal principles, statements related to the axiom of foundation, forms from algebra, cardinal number theory, and a final section of forms from topology, analysis and logic. The second part deals with the axiom of choice for classes - well-ordering theorem, choice and maximal principles.

  • Cylindric Algebras

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 115
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English
    Volume II completes the description of the main aspects of the theory, covering representation questions, model theory and decision problems for them, translations from logic to algebra and vice-versa, and relationships with other algebraic versions of logic.

  • Cylindric Algebras

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume I
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English
    Volume I provides a detailed analysis of cylindric algebras, starting with a formulation of their axioms and a development of their elementary properties, and proceeding to a deeper study of their interrelationships by means of general algebraic notions such as subalgebras, homomorphisms, direct products, free algebras, reducts and relativized algebras.

  • Differential Algebraic Groups

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 114
    • English

  • Trends in the Theory and Practice of Non-Linear Analysis

    Proceedings of the VIth International Conference on Trends in the Theory and Practice of Non-Linear Analysis held at the University of Texas at Arlington, June 18-22, 1984
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 110
    • English

  • Graphs, Groups and Surfaces

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 8
    • A.T. White
    • English
    The field of topological graph theory has expanded greatly in the ten years since the first edition of this book appeared. The original nine chapters of this classic work have therefore been revised and updated. Six new chapters have been added, dealing with: voltage graphs, non-orientable imbeddings, block designs associated with graph imbeddings, hypergraph imbeddings, map automorphism groups and change ringing.Thirty-two new problems have been added to this new edition, so that there are now 181 in all; 22 of these have been designated as ``difficult'' and 9 as ``unsolved''. Three of the four unsolved problems from the first edition have been solved in the ten years between editions; they are now marked as ``difficult''.

  • Intensional Mathematics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 113
    • S. Shapiro
    • English
    ``Platonism and intuitionism are rival philosophies of Mathematics, the former holding that the subject matter of mathematics consists of abstract objects whose existence is independent of the mathematician, the latter that the subject matter consists of mental construction... both views are implicitly opposed to materialistic accounts of mathematics which take the subject matter of mathematics to consist (in a direct way) of material objects...'' FROM THE INTRODUCTIONAmong the aims of this book are: - The discussion of some important philosophical issues using the precision of mathematics. - The development of formal systems that contain both classical and constructive components. This allows the study of constructivity in otherwise classical contexts and represents the formalization of important intensional aspects of mathematical practice. - The direct formalization of intensional concepts (such as computability) in a mixed constructive/classic... context.
