The main characteristic of this classic exposition of the inverse scattering method and its applications to soliton theory is its consistent Hamiltonian approach to the theory. The nonlinear Schrodinger equation is considered as a main example, forming the first part of the book. The second part examines such fundamental models as the sine-Gordon equation and the Heisenberg equation, the classification of integrable models and methods for constructing their solutions.

Each year young mathematicians congregate in Saint Flour, France, and listen to extended lecture courses on new topics in Probability Theory.

The goal of these notes, representing a course given by Terry Lyons in 2004, is to provide a straightforward and self supporting but minimalist account of the key results forming the foundation of the theory of rough paths.

ECMI is synonymous with European Mathematics for Industry and organizes successful biannual conferences. The 14th European Conference for Mathematics in Industry held in Leganes (Madrid) focused on Aerospace, Information and Communications, Materials, Energy and Environment, Imaging, Biology and Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Finances and other topics including Education in Industrial Mathematics and web learning. Attendees came from all over the world. Overall, these proceedings give a lively overview of the importance of mathematical modeling, analysis and numerical methods when...

Thank heavens for Jens Wittenburg, of the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. Anyone who s been laboring for years over equation after equation will want to give him a great big hug. It is common practice to develop equations for each system separately and to consider the labor necessary for deriving all of these as inevitable. Not so, says the author. Here, he takes it upon himself to describe in detail a formalism which substantially simplifies these tasks."

Littlewood-Paley theory extends some of the benefits of orthogonality to situations where it doesn t make sense by letting certain oscillatory infinite series of functions be controlled in terms of infinite series of non-negative functions. Beginning in the 1980s, it was discovered that this control could be made much sharper. This book offers a gentle, well-motivated introduction to those discoveries, the methods behind them, their consequences, and some of their applications."

This book contains a detailed mathematical analysis of the variational approach to image restoration based on the minimization of the total variation submitted to the constraints given by the image acquisition model. This model, initially introduced by Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi, had a strong influence in the development of variational methods for image denoising and restoration, and pioneered the use of the BV model in image processing. After a full analysis of the model, the minimizing total variation flow is studied under different boundary conditions, and its main qualitative properties...

This is a collection of survey articles based on lectures presented at a colloquium and workshop in Geneva in 2003 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Francois Sturm. It aims at giving an overview of the development of Sturm-Liouville theory from its historical roots to present day research. It is the first time that such a comprehensive survey has been made available in compact form. The contributions come from internationally renowned experts and cover a wide range of developments of the theory. The book can therefore serve both as an introduction to...

Foliations, groups and pseudogroups are objects which are closely related via the notion of holonomy. In the 1980s they became considered as general dynamical systems. This book deals with their dynamics. Since "dynamics is a very extensive term, we focus on some of its aspects only. Roughly speaking, we concentrate on notions and results related to different ways of measuring complexity of the systems under consideration. More precisely, we deal with different types of growth, entropies and dimensions of limiting objects. Invented in the 1980s (by E. Ghys, R. Langevin and the author)...

This book collects refereed lectures and communications presented at the Free Boundary Problems Conference (FBP2005). These discuss the mathematics of a broad class of models and problems involving nonlinear partial differential equations arising in physics, engineering, biology and finance. Among other topics, the talks considered free boundary problems in biomedicine, in porous media, in thermodynamic modeling, in fluid mechanics, in image processing, in financial mathematics or in computations for inter-scale problems.

This volume collects papers presented at the eighth Sao Carlos Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities, held at the IML, Marseille, July 2004. Like the workshop, this collection establishes the state of the art and presents new trends, new ideas and new results in all of the branches of singularities. Real and Complex Singularities offers a useful summary of leading ideas in singularity theory, and inspiration for future research.

Questo testo offre un'introduzione ai metodi matematici, probabilistici e numerici utilizzati nel settore della finanza che si occupa della valutazione degli strumenti derivati. Il libro fornisce un'esposizione accessibile ad un lettore che abbia una formazione matematica di base. Con lo scopo di ridurre il formalismo, il testo introduce rapidamente i concetti fondamentali senza rinunciare al rigore matematico. La prima parte del volume contiene un'introduzione agli elementi di probabilita e una presentazione della teoria della valutazione nell'ambito dei mercati discreti. Vengono in...
