Tikhonov regularization is a cornerstone technique in solving inverse problems with applications in countless scientific fields. Richard Huber discusses a multi-parameter Tikhonov approach for systems of inverse problems in order to take advantage of their specific structure. Such an approach allows to choose the regularization weights of each subproblem individually with respect to the corresponding noise levels and degrees of ill-posedness.

This absorbing memoir is an intriguing insider's account of how the University of California rose to the peak of scientific and scholarly stature and how, under Kerr's unique leadership, the university evolved into the institution it is today. In this first of two volumes, Kerr describes the private life of the universi...

Completion of this project was something Richard T. (Dick) Miller had thought about for a number of years. The recounting of his experiences, his lifestyle as a member of French Hill, the French Canadian Catholic Community in Nashua, New Hampshire, as a young man gives the reader an insight of what this little known way of life was like. His college years and adventures as a tank platoon leader in the U.S. Army as well as a test pilot and a combat pilot in Vietnam round out this interesting account of The Adventures of Young Victor Huber.
