Rare event probability (10-4 and less) estimation has become a large area of research in the reliability engineering and system safety domains. A significant number of methods have been proposed to reduce the computation burden for the estimation of rare events from advanced sampling approaches to extreme value theory. However, it is often difficult in practice to determine which algorithm is the most adapted to a given problem.Estimation of Rare Event Probabilities in Complex Aerospace and Other Systems: A Practical Approach provides a broad up-to-date view of the current available techniques to estimate rare event probabilities described with a unified notation, a mathematical pseudocode to ease their potential implementation and finally a large spectrum of simulation results on academic and realistic use cases. Provides a broad overview of the practical approach of rare event methods. Includes algorithms that are applied to aerospace benchmark test cases Offers insight into practical tuning issues
This book presents advanced case studies that address a range of important issues arising in space engineering. An overview of challenging operational scenarios is presented, with an in-depth exposition of related mathematical modeling, algorithmic and numerical solution aspects. The model development and optimization approaches discussed in the book can be extended also towards other application areas. The topics discussed illustrate current research trends and challenges in space engineering as summarized by the following list: • Next Generation Gravity Missions • Continuous-Thrust Trajectories by Evolutionary Neurocontrol • Nonparametric Importance Sampling for Launcher Stage Fallou...
"Ein hübscher, junger und eleganter, doch leichtsinniger, verschwenderischer und den Frauen ergebener Mann, der unter dem aufgehenden Stern seines Bruders zu den höchsten irdischen Würden gelangte, das ist der Held, dessen schicksalsreicher Lebenslauf hier erzählt werden soll ..." Jérôme Bonaparte (1784–1860) war der jüngste Bruder Napoléon Bonapartes. Von 1807 bis 1813 war er durch die Gunst Napoléons König des Königreiches Westphalen, doch er füllte dieses Amt ohne Sinn und Würde aus. Umso liederlicher sein Lebensstil, desto unterhaltsamer ist diese Biografie des Napoléon-Forschers Friedrich M. Kircheisen zu lesen, in der sich auch so manches über den Charakter Napoléons als Bruder erfahren lässt. Vorliegende Ausgabe ist ein hochwertiger Nachdruck der Originalschrift von 1928.
Napoleon's youngest brother, Jérôme, has over the centuries been portrayed as a military commander who was completely incompetent and unimportant to his famous sibling. This first biography of Jérôme by an American author utilizes many firsthand accounts ofJérôme's abilities that have never before been available to readers in English, as well as archival material that has never been published in any language, to challenge this view. Focussing on the lesser-known theaters of operation from 1800 to the Russian campaign in 1812, this study completes the gaps in the military history of the Napoleonic Wars. As Lamar demonstrates, Jérôme was not responsible for the failure of Napoleon's ea...
Published to mark the 190th anniversary of the Peninsular War, this is a unique collection of in-depth original essays by distinguished British and American scholars.
