By Peter R. Cromwell

Polyhedra have cropped up in lots of various guises all through recorded historical past. lately, polyhedra and their symmetries were solid in a brand new gentle via combinatorics and crew idea. This exact textual content comprehensively files the various and sundry ways in which polyhedra have come to the fore in the course of the improvement of arithmetic. the writer moves a stability among protecting the old improvement of the idea surrounding polyhedra and rigorous therapy of the math concerned. Attractively illustrated--including sixteen colour plates--Polyhedra elucidates principles that experience confirmed tricky to understand. Mathematicians, in addition to historians of arithmetic, will locate this booklet attention-grabbing.

Matrix Information Geometry

-Presents advances in matrix and tensor information processing within the area of sign, photo and data processing
-Written via specialists within the parts of theoretical arithmetic or engineering sciences
-Discusses power purposes in sensor and cognitive structures engineering

This publication is an final result of the Indo-French Workshop on Matrix info Geometries (MIG): functions in Sensor and Cognitive structures Engineering, which was once held in Ecole Polytechnique and Thales study and expertise heart, Palaiseau, France, in February 23-25, 2011. The workshop was once generously funded through the Indo-French Centre for the merchandising of complicated learn (IFCPAR). throughout the occasion, 22 popular invited french or indian audio system gave lectures on their components of craftsmanship in the box of matrix research or processing. From those talks, a complete of 17 unique contribution or cutting-edge chapters were assembled during this quantity. All articles have been completely peer-reviewed and superior, in response to the feedback of the foreign referees. The 17 contributions offered are equipped in 3 components: (1) state of the art surveys & unique matrix concept paintings, (2) complicated matrix idea for radar processing, and (3) Matrix-based sign processing purposes.

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 submit this vintage publication as a part of our large vintage Library assortment. a few of the books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and hence haven't been obtainable to most people. the purpose of our publishing software is to facilitate speedy entry to this huge reservoir of literature, and our view is this is an important literary paintings, which merits to be introduced again into print after many a long time.

Topics in Ergodic Theory.

This publication issues components of ergodic conception which are now being intensively built. the themes comprise entropy conception (with emphasis on dynamical platforms with multi-dimensional time), parts of the renormalization crew procedure within the concept of dynamical platforms, splitting of separatrices, and a few difficulties relating to the idea of hyperbolic dynamical structures.

Introduction This article surveys results and conjectures in dynamical systems and other areas that describe properties of ‘almost every’ function in some space, using a probabilistic (or measure-theoretic) notion called ‘prevalence’, which we define for complete metric linear spaces in Section 2.
