This book explores the theory of strongly continuous one-parameter semigroups of linear operators. A special feature of the text is an unusually wide range of applications such as to ordinary and partial differential operators, to delay and Volterra equations, and to control theory. Also, the book places an emphasis on philosophical motivation and the historical background.

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...

This volume is based on the lecture notes of six courses delivered at a Cimpa Summer School in Temuco, Chile, in January 2001. Leading experts contribute with introductory articles covering a broad area in probability and its applications, such as mathematical physics and mathematics of finance. Written at graduate level, the lectures touch the latest advances on each subject, ranging from classical probability theory to modern developments. Thus the book will appeal to students, teachers and researchers working in probability theory or related fields.

The notions of positive functions and of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces play an important role in various fields of mathematics, such as stochastic processes, linear systems theory, operator theory, and the theory of analytic functions. Also they are relevant for many applications, for example to statistical learning theory and pattern recognition.
The present volume contains a selection of papers which deal with different aspects of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Topics considered include one complex variable theory, differential operators, the theory of self-similar systems,...

A collection of 25 papers dedicated to Israel Gohberg, an outstanding leader in operator theory. Also containing a review of his contributions to mathematics and a complete list of his publications. The book is of interest to a wide audience of pure and applied mathematicians.

This volume is devoted to some topical problems and various applications of operator theory and its interplay with modern complex analysis. 30 carefully selected surveys and research papers are united by the "operator theoretic ideology" and systematic use of modern function theoretical techniques.

This book is devoted to new classes of parabolic differential and pseudo-differential equations extensively studied in the last decades, such as parabolic systems of a quasi-homogeneous structure, degenerate equations of the Kolmogorov type, pseudo-differential parabolic equations, and fractional diffusion equations. It will appeal to mathematicians interested in new classes of partial differential equations, and physicists specializing in diffusion processes.

This book deals with the dynamics of general systems such as foliations, groups and pseudogroups, systems which are closely related via the notion of holonomy. It concentrates on notions and results related to different ways of measuring complexity of systems under consideration. More precisely, it deals with different types of growth, entropies and dimensions of limiting objects. Problems related to the topics covered are provided throughout the book.

This up-to-date monograph, providing an up-to-date overview of the field of Hepatitis Prevention and Treatment, includes contributions from internationally recognized experts on viral hepatitis, and covers the current state of knowledge and practice regarding the molecular biology, immunology, biochemistry, pharmacology and clinical aspects of chronic HBV and HCV infection. The book provides the latest information, with sufficient background and discussion of the literature to benefit the newcomer to the field.

This is the first monograph devoted to a fairly wide class of operators, namely band and band-dominated operators and their Fredholm theory. The main tool in studying this topic is limit operators. Applications are presented to several important classes of such operators: convolution type operators and pseudo-differential operators on bad domains and with bad coefficients.

This book explores new difference schemes for approximating the solutions of regular and singular perturbation boundary-value problems for PDEs. The construction is based on the exact difference scheme and Taylor's decomposition on the two or three points, which permits investigation of differential equations with variable coefficients and regular and singular perturbation boundary value problems.
