The first of two volumes that comprehensively treat partial differential equations, this revised second edition focuses on geometric and complex variable methods involving integral representations. Topics such as Brouwer's mapping degree are treated in detail.
As well as offering the reader a complete theory of Sobolev spaces, this volume explains how the abstract methods of convex analysis can be combined with this theory to produce existence results for the solutions of non-linear elliptic boundary problems.
This book takes a practical approach to maintenance management programs for companies involved in network infrastructure such as distribution of gas, electricity and telecommunications. Case studies illustrate framework design, performance evaluation and more.
Linear Algebra and Linear Models comprises a concise and rigorous introduction to linear algebra required for statistics followed by the basic aspects of the theory of linear estimation and hypothesis testing.
