In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system representation subject to constraints associated with concepts of causality, memory and stationarity; methods of system representation with an accuracy that is the best within a given class of models; methods of covariance matrix estimation;methods for low-rank matrix approximations; hybrid methods based on a combination of iterative procedures and best operator ...

In The Flower of Empire, Tatiana Holway tells the story of this magnificent lily, revealing how it touched nearly every aspect of Victorian l...
Sigmund Freud, 1856–1939 draws on a wide range of primary sources to present all the datable events that took place in Sigmund Freud’s life, shining new light on his day-to-day experiences. Christfried Toegel’s work provides details and context for the personal, social and political conditions under which Freud developed his theories during this time period. The book’s timeline presents not only significant events but also the small and everyday interactions and experiences in Freud’s life. Drawn from sources including Freud’s calendars, notebooks, travel journals and lists of fees, letters and visits, this unique book provides unparalleled insight into his work. Sigmund Freud, 1856–1939 will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, as well as academics and scholars of Freud, psychoanalytic studies, the history of science and the history of Europe.
