Advances in Analysis, Probability and Mathematical Physics: Contributions of Nonstandard Analysis
ISBN: 9789048144815 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1961 Robinson introduced an entirely new version of the theory of infinitesimals, which he called Nonstandard analysis'. Nonstandard' here refers to the nature of new fields of numbers as defined by nonstandard models of the first-order theory of the reals. This system of numbers was closely related to the ring of Schmieden and Laugwitz, developed independently a few years earlier.
During the last thirty years the use of nonstandard models in mathematics has taken its rightful place among the various methods employed by mathematicians. The contributions in this volume have been... In 1961 Robinson introduced an entirely new version of the theory of infinitesimals, which he called Nonstandard analysis'. Nonstandard' here refers t...

The Quantum Dice: An Introduction to Stochastic Electrodynamics
ISBN: 9789048146468 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In spite of the impressive predictive power and strong mathematical structure of quantum mechanics, the theory has always suffered from important conceptual problems. Some of these have never been solved. Motivated by this state of affairs, a number of physicists have worked together for over thirty years to develop stochastic electrodynamics, a physical theory aimed at finding a conceptually satisfactory, realistic explanation of quantum phenomena.
This is the first book to present a comprehensive review of stochastic electrodynamics, from its origins to present-day... In spite of the impressive predictive power and strong mathematical structure of quantum mechanics, the theory has always suffered from important conc...

Nevertheless, such geometries are playing an increasingly important role in a wide variety of problems in fields ranging from relativistic optics to ecology. The present collection of papers will serve to bring the reader up-to-date on the most recent advances. Subjects treated include higher order Lagrange geometry, the recent theory of -Lagrange manifolds, electromagnetic theory and neurophysiology. Audience: This book is recommended as a...

Semi-Riemannian Maps and Their Applications
ISBN: 9789048152025 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Wave Factorization of Elliptic Symbols: Theory and Applications: Introduction to the Theory of Boundary Value Problems in Non-Smooth Domains
ISBN: 9789048155453 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph is devoted to the development of a new approach to studying elliptic differential and integro-differential (pseudodifferential) equations and their boundary problems in non-smooth domains. This approach is based on a special representation of symbols of elliptic operators called wave factorization. In canonical domains, for example, the angle on a plane or a wedge in space, this yields a general solution, and then leads to the statement of a boundary problem. Wave factorization has also been used to obtain explicit formulas for solving some problems in diffraction and...

The world perceived at the visual level is constituted not by objects or static forms, but by processes appearing imbued with meaning. As G. Kanizsa stated, at the visual level the line per se does not exist: only the line which enters, goes behind, divides, etc., a line evolving according to a precise holistic context, in comparison with which function and meaning are indissolubly interlinked. Just as the meaning of words is connected with a universe of highly-dynamic functions and functional processes which operate syntheses, cancellations, integrations, etc. (a universe which can only be...
