This book begins with a brief account of matrices and matrix algebra, and derives the theory of determinants by the aid of matrix notation, in an order suggested by a naturally alternating development of both subjects.

Multiplicative invariant theory, as a research area in its own right within the wider spectrum of invariant theory, is of relatively recent vintage. The present text offers a coherent account of the basic results achieved thus far..

Multiplicative invariant theory is intimately tied to integral representations of finite groups. Therefore, the field has a predominantly discrete, algebraic flavor. Geometry, specifically the theory of algebraic groups, enters through Weyl groups and their root lattices as well as via character lattices of algebraic tori.

Throughout the text,...

One of the masters in the differential equations community, the late F.V. Atkinson contributed seminal research to multiparameter spectral theory and Sturm-Liouville theory. His ideas and techniques have long inspired researchers and continue to stimulate discussion. With the help of co-author Angelo B. Mingarelli, Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems: Sturm-Liouville Theory reflects much of Dr. Atkinson's final work.

After covering standard multiparameter problems, the book investigates the conditions for eigenvalues to be real and form a discrete set. It...

This is a revision of an earlier Means and Their Inequalities by the present author and Professors Mitrinovic and Vasic. Not only does this book bring the earlier version up to date but enlarges the scope considerably to give a full and in-depth treatment of all aspects of the field. While the mention of means occurs in many books this is the only full treatment of the subject. Outstanding features of the book are the variety of proofs given for many of the basic results, over seventy for the inequality between the arithmetic and geometric means for instance, an exhaustive bibliography and...
