This text deals with computational chemistry, particularly long-range molecular forces; with biological and chemical contamination, including hierarchical ideas from computer science in a problem-solving environment; with discrete mathematics, including connections to the buckyball structure of carbon 60; with dimension-reduction techniques in incompressible fluid mechanics; with aspects of charge transport, bridging compressible fluids (gas dynamics) and semiconductors; with the approximation p...

The@ first graduate-level textbook to focus on fundamental aspects of numerical methods for stochastic computations, this book describes the class of numerical methods based on generalized polynomial chaos (gPC). These fast, efficient, and accurate methods are an extension of the classical spectral methods of high-dimensional random spaces. Designed to simulate complex systems subject to random inputs, these methods are widely used in many areas of computer science and engineering. The book intr...

The refereed proceedings from the 7th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics are provided in this volume. Papers address current issues in algorithms in bioinformatics, ranging from mathematical tools to experimental studies of approximation algorithms to significant computational analyses. Biological problems examined include genetic mapping, sequence alignment and analysis, phylogeny, comparative genomics, and protein structure.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms, SEA 2014, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in June/July 2014.The 36 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on combinatorial optimization, data structures, graph drawing, shortest path, strings, graph algorithms and suffix structures.

Interest in constrained optimization originated with the simple linear pro gramming model since it was practical and perhaps the only computationally tractable model at the time. Constrained linear optimization models were soon adopted in numerous application areas and are perhaps the most widely used mathematical models in operations research and management science at the time of this writing. Modelers have, however, found the assumption of linearity to be overly restrictive in expressing the...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Combinatorial Optimization, ISCO 2012, held in Athens, Greece, in April 2012. The 37 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 regular and 30 short submissions. They present original research on all aspects of combinatorial optimization, ranging from mathematical foundations and theory of algorithms to computational stud...

This guide is an ideal learning tool and reference for Apache Pig, the programming language that helps you describe and run large data projects on Hadoop. With Pig, you can analyze data without having to create a full-fledged application - making it easy for you to experiment with new data sets. Programming Pig shows newcomers how to get started, and teaches intermediate users the benefits of using Pig Latin, the data flow language for building and maintaining pipelines for processing data. Adva...
