Presents the elements of a unified approach to optimization based on "nonsmooth analysis

In this book the author explains cardinal spline functions, the basic properties of B-splines and exponential Euler splines.

An introduction to far-reaching developments in theoretical combustion, with special emphasis on flame stability.

Acquaints the specialist in relativity theory with some global techniques for the treatment of space-times and will provide the pure mathematician with a way into the subject of general relativity.

This monograph contains 10 lectures presented by Dr. Daubechies at the 1990 CBMS-NSF Conference on Wavelets and Applications.

This monograph provides an introduction to the state of the art of the probability theory that is most directly applicable to combinatorial optimization. The questions that receive the most attention are those that deal with discrete optimization problems for points in Euclidean space, such as the minimum spanning tree, the traveling-salesman tour, and minimal-length matchings. Still, there are several nongeometric optimization problems that receive full treatment, and these include the problems of the longest common subsequence and the longest increasing subsequence. The philosophy that...

An introduction to aspects of the theory of dynamical systems based on extensions of Liapunov's direct method. The main ideas and structure for the theory are presented for difference equations and for the analogous theory for ordinary differential equations and retarded functional differential equations.

This monograph presents a derivation of the basic equations of the theory of finite elasticity.

This book deals with the mathematical side of the theory of shock waves.

Addresses external biofluiddynamics concerning animal locomotion and internal biofluiddynamics concerning heat and mass transport.
