Conformal Invariance: an Introduction to Loops, Interfaces and Stochastic Loewner Evolution
ISBN: 9783642279331 / Angielski / Miękka / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conformal invariance has been a spectacularly successful tool in advancing our understanding of the two-dimensional phase transitions found in classical systems at equilibrium. This volume sharpens our picture of the applications of conformal invariance, introducing non-local observables such as loops and interfaces before explaining how they arise in specific physical contexts. It then shows how to use conformal invariance to determine their properties.
Moving on to cover key conceptual developments in conformal invariance, the book devotes much of its space to stochastic... Conformal invariance has been a spectacularly successful tool in advancing our understanding of the two-dimensional phase transitions found in clas... |

Surveys on Solution Methods for Inverse Problems
ISBN: 9783211834701 / Angielski / Miękka / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inverse problems are concerned with determining causes for observed or desired effects. Problems of this type appear in many application fields both in science and in engineering. The mathematical modelling of inverse problems usually leads to ill-posed problems, i.e., problems where solutions need not exist, need not be unique or may depend discontinuously on the data. For this reason, numerical methods for solving inverse problems are especially difficult, special methods have to be developed which are known under the term "regularization methods". This volume contains twelve survey papers...

Geometric Control of Patterned Linear Systems
ISBN: 9783642288036 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
This monograph is aiming at researchers of systems control, especially those interested in multiagent systems, distributed and decentralized control, and structured systems. The book assumes no prior background in geometric control theory; however, a first year graduate course in linear control systems is desirable. Since not all control researchers today are exposed to geometric control theory, the book also adopts a tutorial style by way of examples that illustrate the geometric and abstract algebra concepts used in linear geometric control. In addition, the matrix...

Linear Prediction Theory: A Mathematical Basis for Adaptive Systems
ISBN: 9783642752087 / Angielski / Miękka / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lnear prediction theory and the related algorithms have matured to the point where they now form an integral part of many real-world adaptive systems. When it is necessary to extract information from a random process, we are frequently faced with the problem of analyzing and solving special systems of linear equations. In the general case these systems are overdetermined and may be characterized by additional properties, such as update and shift-invariance properties. Usually, one employs exact or approximate least-squares methods to solve the resulting class of linear equations. Mainly...

Control of Uncertain Sampled-Data Systems
ISBN: 9781461275374 / Angielski / Miękka / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. My main goal in writing this monograph is to provide a detailed treatment of uncertainty analysis for sampled-data systems in the context of sys- tems control theory. Here, sampled-data system refers to the hybrid sys- tem formed when continuous time and discrete time systems are intercon- nected; by uncertainty analysis I mean achievable performance in the pres- ence of worst -case uncertainty and disturbances. The focus of the book is sampled-data systems; however the approach presented is applicable to both standard and sampled-data systems. The past few years has seen a large surge in...

Continuous Average Control of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes
ISBN: 9781461469827 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The intent of this book is to present recent results in the control theory for the long run average continuous control problem of piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs). The book focuses mainly on the long run average cost criteria and extends to the PDMPs some well-known techniques related to discrete-time and continuous-time Markov decision processes, including the so-called average inequality approach'', vanishing discount technique'' and policy iteration algorithm''. We believe that what is unique about our approach is that, by using the special features of the PDMPs, we trace a...

Digital Repetitive Control under Varying Frequency Conditions
ISBN: 9783642377778 / Angielski / Miękka / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The tracking/rejection of periodic signals constitutes a wide field of research in the control theory and applications area. Repetitive Control has proven to be an efficient way to face this topic. However, in some applications the frequency of the reference/disturbance signal is time-varying or uncertain. This causes an important performance degradation in the standard Repetitive Control scheme. This book presents some solutions to apply Repetitive Control in varying frequency conditions without loosing steady-state performance. It also includes a complete theoretical development and...

Predictability and Nonlinear Modelling in Natural Sciences and Economics
ISBN: 9789401044165 / Angielski / Miękka / 653 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Researchers in the natural sciences are faced with problems that require a novel approach to improve the quality of forecasts of processes that are sensitive to environmental conditions. Nonlinearity of a system may significantly complicate the predictability of future states: a small variation of parameters can dramatically change the dynamics, while sensitive dependence of the initial state may severely limit the predictability horizon. Uncertainties also play a role.
This volume addresses such problems by using tools from chaos theory and systems theory, adapted for the analysis of... Researchers in the natural sciences are faced with problems that require a novel approach to improve the quality of forecasts of processes that are se...

Bridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism: Insights and Implications
ISBN: 9783319390451 / Angielski / Twarda / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work addresses the topic of philosophical complexity, which shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity, cybernetics, and General Systems Theory, but which is also developing as a subject field in its own right.
Specifically, the post-structural reading of philosophical complexity that was pioneered by Paul Cilliers is further developed in this study. To this end, the ideas of a number of contemporary French post-structural theorists and their predecessors - including Derrida, Nancy, Bataille, Levinas, Foucault, Saussure, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Hegel - are introduced. The... This work addresses the topic of philosophical complexity, which shares certain assumptions with scientific complexity, cybernetics, and General Syste...

Optimal Control Methods for Linear Discrete-Time Economic Systems
ISBN: 9781461257394 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As our title reveals, we focus on optimal control methods and applications relevant to linear dynamic economic systems in discrete-time variables. We deal only with discrete cases simply because economic data are available in discrete forms, hence realistic economic policies should be established in discrete-time structures. Though many books have been written on optimal control in engineering, we see few on discrete-type optimal control. More over, since economic models take slightly different forms than do engineer ing ones, we need a comprehensive, self-contained treatment of linear...

First-Order Representations of Linear Systems
ISBN: 9781461266846 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about the theory of system representations. The systems that are considered are linear, time-invariant, deterministic and finite- dimensional. The observation that some representations are more suitable for handling a particular problem than others motivates the study of rep- resentations. In modeling a system, a representation often arises naturally from certain laws that underlie the system. In its most general form the representation then consists of dynamical equations for the system compo- nents and of constraint equations reflecting the connection between these components....
