    • Irreducible Tensorial Sets

      • 1st Edition

      • English
      Irreducible Tensorial Sets discusses mathematical methods originating from the theory of coupling and recoupling of angular momenta in atomic physics that constitute an extension of vector and tensor algebra. The book presents a unified treatment with a compact system of notations from different approaches, such as group theory, algebra, and quantum mechanical transformation theory. It discusses irreducible tensorial sets that cover different sets of quantities such as tensor components and states of atomic systems. It also explains quantum mechanical applications, coupling and recoupling of atomic and nuclear states, the Wigner-Eckart theorem, and the products of tensorial sets of operators. The text shows how to calculate the interaction energy between atomic systems couple with one another with a constant total angular momentum. The book also explains the correlations which are functions of the Euler angles between the frame of reference in which a radiation is observed and a frame of reference attached to the orienting radiation or field. It then cites sample problems related to the angular distribution of radiations. The book will prove useful for physicists, for mathematicians, or for readers with some knowledge in theoretical physics, particularly on theory of groups and quantum mechanics.

      Agent-Based Models with MATLAB introduces Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), one of the most important methodologies for complex systems modeling. The book explores computational implementations and accompanying MATLAB software code as a means of inspiring readers to apply agent-based models to solve a diverse range of problems. It comes with a large amount of software code that accompanies the main text, and the modeling systems described in the book are implemented using MATLAB as the programming language. Despite the heavy mathematical components of Agent-Based Models and complex systems, it is possible to utilize these models without in-depth understanding of their mathematical fundamentals.This book enables computer scientists, mathematicians, researchers, and engineers to apply ABM in a wide range of research and engineering applications. It gradually advances from basic to more advanced methods while reinforcing complex systems through practical, hands-on applications of various computational models.
