Illuminates the relationship between harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. This book covers topics such as application of fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations to the Monge Ampere equation; and estimates for Green functions for the purpose of studying Dirichlet problems for operators in non-divergence form.
This book contains papers presented at the NSF/CBMS Regional Conference on Coordinates in Operator Algebras, held at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth in May 1990. During the conference, in addition to a series of ten lectures by Paul S Muhly (which will be published in a CBMS Regional Conference Series volume), there were twenty-eight lectures delivered by conference participants on a broad range of topics of current interest in operator algebras and operator theory. This volume contains slightly expanded versions of most of those lectures. Participants were encouraged to bring open problems to the conference, and, as a result, there are over one hundred problems and questions scattered throughout this volume. Readers will appreciate this book for the overview it provides of current topics and methods of operator algebras and operator theory.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Workshop on Logic and Computation, held in July 1987 at Carnegie-Mellon University. The focus of the workshop was the refined interaction between mathematics and computation theory, one of the most fascinating and potentially fruitful developments in logic. The importance of this interaction lies not only in the emergence of the computer as a powerful tool in mathematics research, but also in the various attempts to carry out significant parts of mathematics in computationally informative ways. The proceedings pursue three complementary aims: to develop parts of mathematics under minimal set-theoretic assumptions; to provide formal frameworks suitable for computer implementation; and to extract, from formal proofs, mathematical and computational information. Aimed at logicians, mathematicians, and computer scientists, this volume is rich in results and replete with mathematical, logical, and computational problems.
Discusses the problem of determining the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>7$. This book includes topics such as Lie algebras of prime characteristic, algebraic groups, combinatorics and representation theory, and Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras.
The proceedings of an AMS special session on finite geometries and combinatorial designs. Topics range over finite geometry, combinatorial designs, their automorphism groups and related structures.
Streetwise brings together classic articles from the publication that helped revolutionize the way Wall Street does business. During the recession of the early 1970s, investment professionals turned to the theories of a small band of mathematical economists, whose ideas on such topics as portfolio development and risk management eventually led to the reform and maintenance of entire economies. This was the first time economists and practitioners had joined forces to such remarkable effect. Economist and money manager Peter Bernstein sought to encourage this exchange when, in 1974, he founded The Journal of Portfolio Management (JPM). For this present volume, Bernstein and JPM editor Frank Fa...
Since its genesis more than thirty-five years ago, the field of computer vision has been known by various names, including pattern recognitions, image analysis, and image understanding. The central problem of computer vision is obtaining descriptive information by computer analysis of images of a scene. Together with the related fields of image processing and computer graphics, it has become an established discipline at the interface between computer science and electrical engineering. This volume contains fourteen papers presented at the AMS Special Session on Geometry Related to Computer Vision, held in Hoboken, New Jersey in Ooctober 1989. This book makes the results presented at the Spec...
