The book deals with the two scales Bsp,q and Fsp,q of spaces of distributions, where -

Hyperbolic partial differential equations describe phenomena of material or wave transport in physics, biology and engineering, especially in the field of fluid mechanics.

This collection presents various approaches to analytic problems that arise in the context of singular spaces. It contains articles offering introductions to various pseudodifferential calculi and discussions of relations between them, plus invited papers from mathematicians who have made significant contributions to this field

Arguably, many industrial optimization problems are of the multiobjective type.

The Conference on "Statistical Science", held in Monte Verita (Switzerland) on 18/20 November 1996, was intended to honour the memory of Stefano Franscini at the occasion of the bicentennial of his birth (1796-1996).

Aims to understand, from a evolutionary perspective, the impact of stress on biological systems. This work discusses the role of stress in evolutionary change, from stress induced mutations and selection to speciation and evolution at the geological time scale.

Volume 11a forms the first part of the volume which completes the "Chemische Reihe" series. It provides an in-depth treatise on the Leguminosae, to which such economically important crops as clover belong.

Ernst Specker has made decisive contributions towards shaping direc tions in topology, algebra, mathematical logic, combinatorics and algorith mic over the last 40 years. We can do no better than to quote from Hao Wang in the 'Festschrift' Logic and Algorithmic I: Specker was ill for an extended period before completing his formal education.

Contains a collection of research papers originating from the 6th Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein Spaces and Operator Polynomials, which was held at the TU Berlin, Germany, December 14 to 17. This work discusses topics such as linear relations, singular perturbations, de Branges spaces, nonnegative matrices, and abstract kinetic equations.

This is an introductory book on the general theory of relativity based partly on lectures given to students of M.Sc. The second part builds the ma- ematical background and the third part deals with topics where mathematics developed in the second part is needed.

The title of this issue of the Nexus Network Journal, "Architecture, Mathematics and Structure," is deliberately ambiguous. But on a deeper level, the fundamental concept of structure is what connects architecture to mathematics. Both architecture and mathematics are highly structured formal systems expressed through a symbolic language.

This monograph is devoted to the development of the theory of pseudo-di?erential n operators on spaces with symmetries.

This book is intended for the Mathematical Olympiad students who wish to prepare for the study of inequalities, a topic now of frequent use at various levels of mathematical competitions.

Travelers differ.At one extreme are random travelers who see what they accidentally bump into.At the other extreme are the lock-step travelers who follow a banner (or a red umbrella) and look when and where a voice tells them to look.

This book takes an interdisciplinary approach in discussing the evidence for and against the so-called 'hygiene hypothesis'. It does so in the context of Darwinian medicine, which deploys our knowledge of evolution in an effort to cast light on human diseases.

This book covers a multitude of Alpine-type working areas and processes active in collisional mountain building in the form of 16 selected very up-to-date review and research articles covering the Alps, Carpathians and Dinarides.

This book provides a scientific and intellectual biography of John von Neumann, who proposed a conception of the world as a mathematical game, one globally governed by a universal logic in which individual consciousness moved following different strategies.

This book studies observation and control operators for linear systems where the free evolution of the state can be described by an operator semigroup on a Hilbert space. It includes a large number of examples coming mostly from partial differential equations.

Malcev) to become one of the founders of the new mathematical institute of the Academy of Sciences (now Sobolev Institute of Mathematics) and to help the formation of the new Novosibirsk State University.

The group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms Ham(M, 0) of a symplectic mani fold (M, 0) plays a fundamental role both in geometry and classical mechanics. They turn out to be very different from the usual circle of problems considered in symplectic topology and thus extend significantly our vision of the symplectic world.

Contains a selection of eighteen articles that were presented at the 5th International Conference on Multivariate Approximation, that was held in Witten-Bommerholz in September 2002.

To mark this occasion, a symposium was held in Chennai, India, where some of his colleagues gave expository talks highlighting Seshadri's contributions to mathematics. This volume includes expanded texts of these talks as well as research and expository papers on geometry and representation theory.

Diese Einführung in die algebraische Geometrie richtet sich an Studierende mittlere und höhere Semester. Vorausgesetzt werden lediglich die im ersten Studienjahr erworbenen Grundkenntnisse. Ausgehend von den affinen Hyperflächen werden beliebige affine und schliesslich projektive Varietäten untersucht. Die benötigte Algebra wird dabei laufend entwickelt. Schwerpunkte des Buches sind die Dimensions- und Morphismentheorie, die Multiplizitätstheorie sowie der Gradbegriff. Zahlreiche Beispiele sollen dem Leser helfen, sich über die konkrete Bedeutung des Stoffes klarzuwerden.

Evariste Galois' short life was lived against the turbulent background of the restoration of the Bourbons to the throne of France, the 1830 revolution in Paris and the accession of Louis-Phillipe.

The aim of these lecture notes is to give an essentially self-contained introduction to the basic regularity theory for energy minimizing maps, including recent developments concerning the structure of the singular set and asymptotics on approach to the singular set.

The notes in this volume were written as a part of a Nachdiplom course that I gave at the ETH in the summer semester of 1995. Such a course began with the fundamentals of group cohomology, and then investigated the structure of cohomology rings, and their maximal ideal spectra.

Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic.
