The focus is on individual (non-generic) turnpike results which are both mathematically significant and have numerous applications in engineering and economic theory. All results obtained in the book are new. New approaches, techniques, and methods are rigorously presented and utilize research from finite-dimensional variational problems and discrete-time optimal control problems to find the necess...
Written as a textbook, A First Course in Functional Analysis is an introduction to basic functional analysis and operator theory, with an emphasis on Hilbert space methods. The aim of this book is to introduce the basic notions of functional analysis and operator theory without requiring the student to have taken a course in measure theory as a prerequisite. It is written and structured the way a course would be designed, with an emphasis on clarity and logical development alongside real applica...
Functional Analysis in Asymmetric Normed Spaces (Frontiers in Mathematics)
by Stefan Cobzas
An asymmetric norm is a positive definite sublinear functional p on a real vector space X. The topology generated by the asymmetric norm p is translation invariant so that the addition is continuous, but the asymmetry of the norm implies that the multiplication by scalars is continuous only when restricted to non-negative entries in the first argument. The asymmetric dual of X, meaning the set of all real-valued upper semi-continuous linear functionals on X, is merely a convex cone in the vector...
Quantum f-Divergences in von Neumann Algebras (Mathematical Physics Studies)
by Fumio Hiai
Relative entropy has played a significant role in various fields of mathematics and physics as the quantum version of the Kullback-Leibler divergence in classical theory. Many variations of relative entropy have been introduced so far with applications to quantum information and related subjects. Typical examples are three different classes, called the standard, the maximal, and the measured f-divergences, all of which are defined in terms of (operator) convex functions f on (0, ) and have respe...
Mathematical Control Theory (Systems & Control: Foundations and Applications) (Modern Birkhauser Classics)
by Jerzy Zabczyk
Mathematical control theory is a separate branch of mathematics that has, over a span of 150 years, developed an extensive literature covering its various ideas and applications. This text presents basic concepts and results in the field. It requires only a knowledge of basic facts from linear algebra, differential equations and calculus, with a few more concepts required for the final part of the book. In addition to classical concepts and ideas, the book presents many recently published result...
Control and Chaos (Mathematical Modeling, #8) (Mathematical Modelling, v. 8)
The articles in this volume are an outgrowth of a US-Australia Workshop, held in Hawaii in 1995. Contributors from the fields of dynamical systems theory and control theory from the US and Australia, as well as England and Japan, focussed upon the problem of controlling nonlinear and potentially chaotic systems using limited control efforts. The essays take into account the discussions and commentaries of the participants and are reflected at the end of each article. Part I of the volume deals w...
Spaces of Continuous Functions (Atlantis Studies in Mathematics, #4)
by G.L.M. Groenewegen and A. C. M. van Rooij
The space C(X) of all continuous functions on a compact space X carries the structure of a normed vector space, an algebra and a lattice. On the one hand we study the relations between these structures and the topology of X, on the other hand we discuss a number of classical results according to which an algebra or a vector lattice can be represented as a C(X). Various applications of these theorems are given.Some attention is devoted to related theorems, e.g. the Stone Theorem for Boolean algeb...
This two-volume book is a modern introduction to the theory of numbers, emphasizing its connections with other branches of mathematics. Part A is accessible to first-year undergraduates and deals with elementary number theory. Part B is more advanced and gives the reader an idea of the scope of mathematics today. The connecting theme is the theory of numbers. By exploring its many connections with other branches a broad picture is obtained. The book contains a treasury of proofs, several of whic...
Introduction to Analysis is an ideal text for a one semester course on analysis. The book covers standard material on the real numbers, sequences, continuity, differentiation, and series, and includes an introduction to proof. The author has endeavored to write this book entirely from the student's perspective: there is enough rigor to challenge even the best students in the class, but also enough explanation and detail to meet the needs of a struggling student. From the Author to the student:...

Indian Real Estate Companies' Analysis
by Kana Odedra and Devendra Khakhdia
Based on the International Conference on Boundary Value Problems and lntegral Equations In Nonsmooth Domains held recently in Luminy, France, this work contains strongly interrelated, refereed papers that detail the latest findings in the fields of nonsmooth domains and corner singularities. Two-dimensional polygonal or Lipschitz domains, three-dimensional polyhedral corners and edges, and conical points in any dimension are examined.
Do formulas exist for the solution to algebraical equations in one variable of any degree like the formulas for quadratic equations? The main aim of this book is to give new geometrical proof of Abel's theorem, as proposed by Professor V.I. Arnold. The theorem states that for general algebraical equations of a degree higher than 4, there are no formulas representing roots of these equations in terms of coefficients with only arithmetic operations and radicals. A secondary, and more important ai...

This book examines the application of complex analysis methods to the theory of prime numbers. In an easy to understand manner, a connection is established between arithmetic problems and those of zero distribution for special functions. Main achievements in this field of mathematics are described. Indicated is a connection between the famous Riemann zeta-function and the structure of the universe, information theory, and quantum mechanics. The theory of Riemann zeta-function and, specifically,...
Handbook of Functional Equations; Stability Theory (Springer Optimization and Its Applications, #95)
As Richard Bellman has so elegantly stated at the Second International Conference on General Inequalities (Oberwolfach, 1978), "There are three reasons for the study of inequalities: practical, theoretical, and aesthetic." On the aesthetic aspects, he said, "As has been pointed out, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, it is generally agreed that certain pieces of music, art, or mathematics are beautiful. There is an elegance to inequalities that makes them very attractive."The content...
Singular Integrals and Differentiability Properties of Functions (PMS-30) (Princeton Mathematical, #30)
