Shedding light on new opportunities in predictor feedback, this book significantly broadens the set of techniques available to a mathematician or engineer working on delay systems. It is a collection of tools and techniques that make predictor feedback ideas applicable to nonlinear systems, systems modeled by PDEs, systems with highly uncertain or completely unknown input/output delays, and systems whose actuator or sensor dynamics are modeled by more general hyperbolic or parabolic PDEs, rather than by pure delay.

Stochastic numerical methods play an important role in large scale computations in the applied sciences. The first goal of this book is to give a mathematical description of classical direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) procedures for rarefied gases, using the theory of Markov processes as a unifying framework. The second goal is a systematic treatment of an extension of DSMC, called stochastic weighted particle method. This method includes several new features, which are introduced for the purpose of variance reduction (rare event simulation). Rigorous convergence results as well as...

The first edition of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations: A Modeling, White Noise Functional Approach, gave a comprehensive introduction to SPDEs. In this, the second edition, the authors build on the theory of SPDEs driven by space-time Brownian motion, or more generally, space-time Levy process noise. Applications of the theory are emphasized throughout. The stochastic pressure equation for fluid flow in porous media is treated, as are applications to finance.

Graduate students in pure and applied mathematics as well as researchers in SPDEs, physics, and engineering...

Over the last years, stochastic analysis has had an enormous progress with the impetus originating from different branches of mathematics: PDE's and the Malliavin calculus, quantum physics, path space analysis on curved manifolds via probabilistic methods, and more.

This volume contains selected contributions which were presented at the 8th Silivri Workshop on Stochastic Analysis and Related Topics, held in September 2000 in Gazimagusa, North Cyprus.

The topics include stochastic control theory, generalized functions in a nonlinear setting, tangent spaces of manifold-valued...

A collection of invited chapters dedicated to Carlos Segovia, this unified and self-contained volume examines recent developments in real and harmonic analysis.

Along with finite differences and finite elements, spectral methods are one of the three main methodologies for solving partial differential equations on computers. This book provides a detailed presentation of basic spectral algorithms, as well as a systematical presentation of basic convergence theory and error analysis for spectral methods. Readers of this book will be exposed to a unified framework for designing and analyzing spectral algorithms for a variety of problems, including in particular high-order differential equations and problems in unbounded domains. The book contains a...

Research articles and surveys from world-recognized mathematicians cover large areas in Analysis where the contributions of Prof. Maz'ya are fundamental, influential, and/or pioneering. Among more than 25 monographs and 450 research papers by V. Maz'ya, one can find deep results predetermining the further development of very diverse topics, which is reflected in the collected papers. Recent advantages in the theory of Sobolev spaces are presented. Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities, Maz'ya isocapacitary inequalities, isoperimetric inequalities, sharp constants, extension operators are...

The topics of this volume are diverse, but all of them are related to a huge area in analysis and applications where remarkably deep results and original approaches of Professor Maz'ya play a fundamental role. World-recognized experts present their new results covering, in particular, the following topics: Beurling's minimum principle, inverse hyperbolic problems, degenerate oblique derivative problems, the Lp-dissipativity connected with the Lp-contractivity of the generated semigroups, optimal control of a biharmonic obstacle problem sharp bilateral bounds of Green's function for the...
