As in the previous volume on the topic, the authors close the gap between abstract mathematical approaches, such as applied methods of modern algebra and analysis, fundamental and computational mechanics, nonautonomous and stochastic dynamical systems, on the one hand and practical applications in nonlinear mechanics, optimization, decision making theory and control theory on the other.

Readers will also benefit from the presentation of modern mathematical modeling methods for the numerical solution of complicated engineering problems in biochemistry, geophysics, biology and...

This book is primarily intended as a research monograph that could also be used in graduate courses for the design of parallel algorithms in matrix computations.

It assumes general but not extensive knowledge of numerical linear algebra, parallel architectures, and parallel programming paradigms.

The book consists of four parts: (I) Basics; (II) Dense and Special Matrix Computations; (III) Sparse Matrix Computations; and (IV) Matrix functions and characteristics. Part I deals with parallel programming paradigms and fundamental kernels, including reordering schemes for...

This text is a concise introduction to the partial differential equations which change from elliptic to hyperbolic type across a smooth hypersurface of their domain. These are becoming increasingly important in diverse sub-fields of both applied mathematics and engineering, for example:
The heating of fusion plasmas by electromagnetic waves
The behaviour of light near a caustic
Extremal surfaces in the space of special relativity
The formation of rapids; transonic and multiphase fluid flow
The dynamics of certain models for elastic structures
The shape of...

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems explains the numerical solution of differential equations within the framework of geometric integration, a branch of numerical analysis that devises numerical methods able to reproduce (in the discrete solution) relevant geometric properties of the continuous vector field. The book focuses on a large set of differential systems named conservative problems, particularly Hamiltonian systems.

Assuming only basic knowledge of numerical quadrature and Runge Kutta methods, this self-contained book begins with an...

This textbook treats Lie groups, Lie algebras and their representations in an elementary but fully rigorous fashion requiring minimal prerequisites. In particular, the theory of matrix Lie groups and their Lie algebras is developed using only linear algebra, and more motivation and intuition for proofs is provided than in most classic texts on the subject.

In addition to its accessible treatment of the basic theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, the book is also noteworthy for including:

• a treatment of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula and its use in place of the...

Volume 2 of the 5-volume Quantum Nanochemistry presents in a balanced manner the fundamental and advanced concepts, principles, and models as well as their first and novel combinations and applications in quantum (physical) and chemical theory of atomic structure. It exposes the atom s perspective of quantum structures, spanning its diverse analytical predictions by historical and in-depth quantum analysis of the atomic periodicities of the atomic radii, ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, and chemical hardness, along with the recently consecrated electrophilicity...

Heavy-tailed probability distributions are an important component in the modeling of many stochastic systems. They are frequently used to accurately model inputs and outputs of computer and data networks and service facilities such as call centers. They are an essential for describing risk processes in finance and also for insurance premia pricing, and such distributions occur naturally in models of epidemiological spread. The class includes distributions with power law tails such as the Pareto, as well as the lognormal and certain Weibull distributions.

One of the highlights of this...
