"Containing cases decided by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania." (varies)
This monograph studies optimization problems for rigid punches in elastic media and for high-speed penetration of rigid strikers into deformed elastoplastic, concrete, and composite media using variational calculations, tools from functional analysis, and stochastic and min-max (guaranteed) optimization approaches with incomplete data. The book presents analytical and numerical results developed by the authors during the last ten years.
Collaboration in the Holocaust. Murderous and torturous medical experiments. The "euthanasia" of hundreds of thousands of people with mental or physical disabilities. Widespread sterilization of "the unfit." Nazi doctors committed these and countless other atrocities as part of Hitler's warped quest to create a German master race. Robert Proctor recently made the explosive discovery, however, that Nazi Germany was also decades ahead of other countries in promoting health reforms that we today regard as progressive and socially responsible. Most startling, Nazi scientists were the first to definitively link lung cancer and cigarette smoking. Proctor explores the controversial and troubling qu...

This monograph develops adaptive stochastic methods in computational mathematics. The authors discuss the basic ideas of the algorithms and ways to analyze their properties and efficiency. Methods of evaluation of multidimensional integrals and solutions of integral equations are illustrated by multiple examples from mechanics, theory of elasticity, heat conduction and fluid dynamics. Contents Part I: Evaluation of Integrals Fundamentals of the Monte Carlo Method to Evaluate Definite Integrals Sequential Monte Carlo Method and Adaptive Integration Methods of Adaptive Integration Based on Piecewise Approximation Methods of Adaptive Integration Based on Global Approximation Numerical Experiments Adaptive Importance Sampling Method Based on Piecewise Constant Approximation Part II: Solution of Integral Equations Semi-Statistical Method of Solving Integral Equations Numerically Problem of Vibration Conductivity Problem on Ideal-Fluid Flow Around an Airfoil First Basic Problem of Elasticity Theory Second Basic Problem of Elasticity Theory Projectional and Statistical Method of Solving Integral Equations Numerically
Covers receipts and expenditures of appropriations and other funds.
This volume contains a selection from the papers presented at the Fifth European Multigrid Conference, held in Stuttgart, October 1996. All contributions were carefully refereed. The conference was organized by the Institute for Computer Applications (ICA) of the University of Stuttgart, in cooperation with the GAMM Committee for Scientific Computing, SFB 359 and 404 and the research network WiR Ba-Wü. The list of topics contained lectures on Multigrid Methods: robustness, adaptivity, wavelets, parallelization, application in computational fluid dynamics, porous media flow, optimisation and computational mechanics. A considerable part of the talks focused on algebraic multigrid methods.
