By Claudio Bartocci, Luciano Boi, Corrado Sinigaglia

This quantity specializes in the interactions among arithmetic, physics, biology and neuroscience by means of exploring new geometrical and topological modelling in those fields. one of the highlights are the valuable roles performed by way of multilevel and scale-change techniques in those disciplines. the combination of arithmetic with physics, in addition to molecular and mobile biology and the neurosciences, will represent the hot frontier of twenty first century technology, the place breakthroughs usually tend to span throughout conventional disciplines.

Matrix Information Geometry

-Presents advances in matrix and tensor info processing within the area of sign, snapshot and knowledge processing
-Written by means of specialists within the components of theoretical arithmetic or engineering sciences
-Discusses power purposes in sensor and cognitive platforms engineering

This ebook is an final result of the Indo-French Workshop on Matrix details Geometries (MIG): purposes in Sensor and Cognitive platforms Engineering, which used to be held in Ecole Polytechnique and Thales examine and know-how middle, Palaiseau, France, in February 23-25, 2011. The workshop was once generously funded by way of the Indo-French Centre for the merchandising of complex examine (IFCPAR). throughout the occasion, 22 popular invited french or indian audio system gave lectures on their parts of workmanship in the box of matrix research or processing. From those talks, a complete of 17 unique contribution or state of the art chapters were assembled during this quantity. All articles have been completely peer-reviewed and more desirable, in line with the feedback of the overseas referees. The 17 contributions awarded are geared up in 3 components: (1) cutting-edge surveys & unique matrix idea paintings, (2) complicated matrix conception for radar processing, and (3) Matrix-based sign processing functions.

Konvexe Analysis

Der Autor beabsichtigt, mit dem vorliegenden Lehrbuch eine gründliche Einführung in die Theorie der konvexen Mengen und der konvexen Funk­ tionen zu geben. Das Buch ist aus einer Folge von drei in den Jahren 1971 bis 1973 an der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule in Zürich gehaltenen Vorlesungen hervorgegangen.

A treatise on the geometry of the circle and some extensions to conic sections by the method of reciprocation, with numerous examples.

Leopold is overjoyed to put up this vintage e-book as a part of our huge vintage Library assortment. a number of the books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and hence haven't been available to most people. the purpose of our publishing application is to facilitate fast entry to this big reservoir of literature, and our view is this is an important literary paintings, which merits to be introduced again into print after many many years.

Topics in Ergodic Theory.

This booklet matters components of ergodic idea which are now being intensively built. the subjects comprise entropy conception (with emphasis on dynamical structures with multi-dimensional time), parts of the renormalization staff approach within the idea of dynamical platforms, splitting of separatrices, and a few difficulties with regards to the speculation of hyperbolic dynamical platforms.

Introduction The year 1998 has witnessed two major revolutions in physics that have a crucial feature in common: both of them are based on a nonvanishing cosmological constant. The first revolution comes from some important progress in the astronomical observations [1, 2] which have led to the surprising conclusion that the recent universe is dominated by an almost spatially homogeneous exotic form of energy density to which there corresponds a negative pressure.

Indeed, as the exponentials exp i p · x that are labelled by the momentum vector, the waves are labelled by the ‘momentum direction’ ξ and by the ‘modulus’ ν. There is however an unexpected difficulty: the plane waves are singular on (d − 1)-dimensional light-like submanifolds of dS d that are the intersection of dS d with the hyperplane tangent to the cone along ξ. To deal with that singularity let us introduce the complexification of the de Sitter spacetime, that can be represented as the complex hyperboloid (c) dS d = {z = x + iy ∈ Cd+1 : z0 2 − z1 2 − · · · − zd 2 = −R2 }.

The mathematical problems arising from this simple fact are of considerable difficulty and a true solution seems not to be accessible to heuristic methods. Due to its topical character, the literature on the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter universes is very broad but the results obtained so far do not reach much beyond the construction of free theories. Difficulties persist as regards both the acquisition of general and structural results as well as in operational and computational possibilities: computations which in the Minkowskian case would be simple and occasionally even trivial become quickly prohibitive or even impossible.
