A presentation of the Henstock/Kurzweil integral and the McShane integral. These two integrals are obtained by changing slightly the definition of the Riemann integral. A basic knowledge of introductory real analysis is required of the reader.
The revolution in differential topology related to the discovery of non-standard smoothness structures on topologically trivial... Læs mere
Intended for both the student and the professional, this work addresses the art and science of decision-making. It presents a very practical approach to decision-making that has a sound theoretical foundation, known as the analytic hierarchy process.
This volume presents a summary of advances and progress in practical analysis for semi-rigid frame design in North America. It encompasses codes, databases, modelling, classification, analysis/design, and design tables and aids.
An exploration of group testing and its applications. It summarizes all important results under the combinatorial model, and demonstrates their applications in real problems. This second edition is updated and features new chapters on clone library screening and error tolerance.
An introduction to bifurcation theory in the presence of symmetry. It aims to expound the mathematical methods of equivariant bifurcation theory... Læs mere
This textbook presents efficient analytical techniques in the local bifurcation theory of vector fields. It is centred on the theory of normal forms and its applications, including interactions with symmetries.
