The book presents surveys describing recent developments in most of the primary subfields of General Topology, and its applications to Algebra and Analysis during the last decade, following the previous editions (North Holland, 1992 and 2002). The book was prepared in connection with the Prague Topological Symposium, held in 2011. During the last 10 years the focus in General Topology changed and therefore the selection of topics differs from that chosen in 2002. The following areas experienced significant developments: Fractals, Coarse Geometry/Topology, Dimension Theory, Set Theoretic Topology and Dynamical Systems.
Handbook of the Geometry of Banach Spaces
Borwein is an authority in the area of mathematical optimization, and his book makes an important contribution to variational analysis Provides a good introduction to the topic
This volume contains the proceedings from a Research Workshop on Banach Space Theory held at the University of Iowa in Iowa City in July 1987. The workshop provided participants with a collaborative working atmosphere in which ideas could be exchanged informally. Several papers were initiated during the workshop and are presented here in their final form. Also included are contributions from several experts who were unable to attend the workshop. None of the papers will be published elsewhere. During the workshop, two hours each day were devoted to seminars on current problems in such areas as weak Hilbert spaces, zonoids, analytic martingales, and operator theory, and these topics are reflected in some of the papers in the collection.
This book presents a collection of invited articles by distinguished Mathematicians on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Statistical Institute, during the year 2007. These articles provide a current perspective of different areas of research, emphasizing the major challenging issues. Given the very significant record of the Institute in research in the areas of Statistics, Probability and Mathematics, distinguished authors have very admirably responded to the invitation. Some of the articles are written keeping students and potential new entrants to an area of mathematics in mind. This volume is thus very unique and gives a perspective of several important aspects of mathematics.
In recent years there has been a surge of profound new developments in various aspects of analysis whose connecting thread is the use of Banach space methods. Indeed, many problems seemingly far from the classical geometry of Banach spaces have been solved using Banach space techniques. This volume contains papers by participants of the conference "Banach Spaces and their Applications in Analysis", held in May 2006 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in honor of Nigel Kalton's 60th birthday. In addition to research articles contributed by participants, the volume includes invited expository articles by principal speakers of the conference, who are leaders in their areas. These articles pres...
This book is for people who are interested in formulating contextual theories and testing conditional or 'context-dependent' hypotheses using quantitative methods. Given the ubiquity of conditional relationships in the study of human behavior, scholars from across the social sciences will find something of value in this reading.
This textbook provides a thorough overview of bifurcation theory. Assuming some familiarity with differential equations and dynamical systems, it is suitable for use on advanced undergraduate and graduate level and can, in particular, be used for a graduate course on bifurcation theory. The book combines a solid theoretical basis with a detailed description of classical bifurcations. It is organized in chapters on local, nonlocal, and global bifurcations; a number of appendices develop the toolbox for the study of bifurcations. The discussed local bifurcations include saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations, as well as the more advanced Bogdanov-Takens and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. The book als...
This book combines rigorous proofs with commentary on the underlying ideas to provide a rich insight into these mathematical landmarks.
