This volume collects a selected number of papers presented at the International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications (IWOTA) held in July 2014 at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Main developments in the broad area of operator theory are covered, with special emphasis on applications to science and engineering. The volume also presents papers dedicated to the eightieth birthday of Damir Arov and to the sixty-fifth birthday of Leiba Rodman, both leading figures in the area of operator theory and its applications, in particular, to systems theory.
The mathematical challenges coming from the social and behavioral sciences differ significantly from typical applied mathematical concerns. ?Change,? for instance, is ubiquitous, but without knowing the fundamental driving force, standard differential and iterative methods are not appropriate. Although differing forms of aggregation are widely used, a general mathematical assessment of potential pitfalls is missing. These realities provide opportunities to create new mathematical approaches. These themes are described in an introductory, expository, and accessible manner by exploring new ways to handle dynamics and evolutionary game theory, to identify subtleties of decision and voting methods, to recognize unexpected modeling concerns, and to introduce new approaches with which to examine game theory. Applications range from avoiding undesired consequences when designing policy to identifying unanticipated voting (where the ?wrong? person could win), nonparametric statistical, and economic ?supply and demand? properties.
Pricolici. A creature out of folklore. And nightmare. January 1889. When a Romanian village suffers a series of brutal attacks, occult investigator Anne Lawrence is dispatched to the forests of the Old Country to hunt the killer – only to vanish without a trace. The trail leads her mentor Vivienne Cumberland deep into the Carpathians to a remote monastery. As a blizzard rages outside, trapping them all with the pricolici, Vivienne risks sharing the fate of the woman she came to find. But is the culprit truly a werewolf … or something even more dangerous? A man bent on revenge. And a love that was never meant to be. Imprisoned in a decaying castle, Anne finds herself ensnared in a web of ...
Narcisa Lecușanu provides valuable insight into what it takes to achieve long-term success and influence in the sports world. First as a player, where she excelled on both the domestic and international level, then in leadership roles at the European Handball Federation and within Romania, and now as a member of the IHF Executive Committee. Her contributions to handball are numerous including aiding the development of women’s handball as Chairwoman of the IHF's Women’s Handball and Gender Equality Working Group and promoting handball to children in her home country. I appreciate her unmatched passion for handball. She is a role model and her story will definitely inspire you. Dr. Hass...
This is the first book to present a detailed discussion of both classical and recent results on the popular CahnHilliard equation and some of its variants. The focus is on mathematical analysis of CahnHilliard models, with an emphasis on thermodynamically relevant logarithmic nonlinear terms, for which several questions are still open. Initially proposed in view of applications to materials science, the CahnHilliard equation is now applied in many other areas, including image processing, biology, ecology, astronomy, and chemistry. In particular, the author addresses applications to image inpainting and tumor growth. Many chapters include open problems and directions for future research. The Cahn-Hilliard Equation: Recent Advances and Applications is intended for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, especially those interested in phase separation models and their generalizations and applications to other fields. Materials scientists also will find this text of interest.
In honor of Serge Lang’s vast contribution to mathematics, this memorial volume presents articles by prominent mathematicians. Reflecting the breadth of Lang's own interests and accomplishments, these essays span the field of Number Theory, Analysis and Geometry.
Introduction to homological mirror symmetry from the point of view of representation theory, suitable for graduate students.
The Transylvania Quiz lets you immerse yourself in a history that is little known and even less told. The quiz contributes to international understanding between Germans, Hungarians and Romanians and gives insight into the different perspectives on Transylvania in a playful way. Despite its rich history, culture, landscape and personalities, Transylvania is often associated with Dracula, the film Hotel Transylvania, which takes place in Dracula's castle, or vampires. However, Transylvania is so much more. Transylvania has a unique culture and history. The land of Transylvania is a melting pot of many peoples and has produced great personalities such as musicians, poets, scientists as well as...
An up-to-date and self-contained introduction based on a graduate course taught at the University of Paris.
Presents an important open problem on operator algebras in a style accessible to young researchers or Ph.D. students.
