Paul R. Halmos, eminent mathematician, is also a snapshot addict. For the past 45 years, Halmos has snapped mathematicians, their spouses, their brothers and sisters and other relatives, their offices, their dogs, and their carillon towers. From 6000 or so photographs in his collection, Halmos chose about 600 for this book. The pictures are candid shots showing mathematicians just being themselves, and the accompanying captions, in addition to identifying the subjects, contain anecdotes and bits of history that reveal Halmos' inimitable wit and insight.
The volume in hand contains a selection from the numerous contributions dedicated to Professor Dr. Gottfried Köthe on the occasion of his 60th birthday. This selection only takes into consideration the papers on Functional Analysis as far as they have reached us in time to be included in the volume. All of these papers have been published in [the journal] "Mathematische Annalen", volume 162.
This volume is dedicated to Tsuyoshi Ando, a foremost expert in operator theory, matrix theory, complex analysis, and their applications, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The book opens with his biography and list of publications. It contains a selection of papers covering a broad spectrum of topics ranging from abstract operator theory to various concrete problems and applications. The majority of the papers deal with topics in modern operator theory and its applications. This volume also contains papers on interpolation and completion problems, factorization problems and problems connected with complex analysis. The book will appeal to a wide audience of pure and applied mathematicians.
There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. - Nikolai Ivanovich Lobatchevsky This book is an extensively-revised and expanded version of "The Theory of Semirings, with Applicationsin Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science" [Golan, 1992], first published by Longman. When that book went out of print, it became clear - in light of the significant advances in semiring theory over the past years and its new important applications in such areas as idempotent analysis and the theory of discrete-event dynamical systems - that a second edition incorporating minor changes would not be sufficient and that a major revision ...
This book covers a wide range of topics, from orthogonal polynomials to wavelets. It contains several high-quality research papers by prominent experts exploring trends in function theory, orthogonal polynomials, Fourier series, approximation theory, theory of wavelets and applications. The book provides an up-to-date presentation of several important topics in Classical and Modern Analysis. The interested reader will also be able to find stimulating open problems and suggestions for future research. Book jacket.
This second of two volumes gives a modern exposition of the theory of Banach algebras.
