Mathematical Logic (Hardback - 11 Dec 2009)

Mathematical logic is a branch of mathematics that takes axiom systems and mathematical proofs as its objects of study. This book shows how it can also provide a foundation for the development of information science and technology. The first five chapters systematically present the core topics of classical mathematical logic, including the syntax and models of first-order languages, formal inference systems,...

Economic Models and Algorithms for Distributed Systems (Paperback / softback - 7 Dec 2009)

Distributed computing paradigms for sharing resources such as Clouds, Grids, Peer-to-Peer systems, or voluntary computing are becoming increasingly popular. While there are some success stories such as PlanetLab, OneLab, BOINC, BitTorrent, and SETI@home, a widespread use of these technologies for business applications has not yet been achieved. In a business environment, mechanisms are needed to provide incentives...

Autonomic Clustering of Distributed Agents (Paperback / softback - 1 Jan 2011)

A central principle in the design of large-scale distributed systems is that components should be organized to place those that interact frequently close together. This is essentially a basic clustering problem, but the context creates new challenges. Traditional clustering algorithms are designed to work on relatively simple units of information stored in a centralized database. This work explores the consequences...

Characteristic Functions, Scattering Functions and Transfer Functions (Hardback - 19 Nov 2009)

The notions of transfer function and characteristic functions proved to be fundamental in the last fifty years in operator theory and in system theory. Moshe Livsic played a central role in developing these notions, and the book contains a selection of carefully chosen refereed papers dedicated to his memory. Topics include classical operator theory, ergodic theory and stochastic processes, geometry of smooth...

Pseudo-Differential Operators and Symmetries (Paperback / softback - 19 Oct 2009)

This monograph develops a global quantization theory of pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups. Traditionally, the theory of pseudo-differential operators was introduced in the Euclidean setting with the aim of tackling a number of important problems in analysis and in the theory of partial differential equations. This also yields a local theory of pseudo-differential operators on manifolds. The...

Spacetime, Geometry and Gravitation (Hardback - 18 Sep 2009)

Teaching Einstein’s general relativity at introductory level poses problems because students cannot begin to appreciate the basics of the theory unless they learn a sufficient amount of Riemannian geometry. Most elementary books take the easy course of telling the students a few working rules stripping the mathematical details to a minimum while the advanced books take the mathematical background for granted....

Fractal Geometry and Stochastics IV (Hardback - 14 Aug 2009)

Over the last fifteen years fractal geometry has established itself as a substantial mathematical theory in its own right. The interplay between fractal geometry, analysis and stochastics has highly influenced recent developments in mathematical modeling of complicated structures. This process has been forced by problems in these areas related to applications in statistical physics, biomathematics and finance. This...

The Hardy Space of a Slit Domain (Paperback / softback - 14 Aug 2009)

The book begins with an exposition of Hardy spaces of slit domains and then proceeds to several descriptions of the invariant subspaces of the operator multiplication by z. Along the way, we discuss and characterize the nearly invariant subspaces of these Hardy spaces and examine conditions for z-invariant subspaces to be cyclic. This work also makes important connections to model spaces for the standard backward...

The Hygiene Hypothesis and Darwinian Medicine (Hardback - 14 Aug 2009)

Man has moved rapidly from the hunter-gatherer environment to the living conditions of the rich industrialised countries. The hygiene hypothesis suggests that the resulting changed and reduced pattern of exposure to micro-organisms has led to disordered regulation of the immune system, and hence to increases in certain chronic inflammatory disorders. The concept began with the allergic disorders, but there are now...

Entropy and Information (Hardback - 14 Aug 2009)

This treasure of popular science by the Russian biophysicist Mikhail V. Volkenstein is at last, more than twenty years after its appearance in Russian, available in English translation. As its title Entropy and Information suggests, the book deals with the thermodynamical concept of entropy and its interpretation in terms of information theory. The author shows how entropy is not to be considered a mere shadow of...
