Result 1.10 Simple equity standards were superior to more complex ones, even though the latter might be economically more relevant. Result 1.11 Equity based on quantity (input) and return (output) was most successful and...

Cet ouvrage décrit une méthodologie et un savoir-faire pour la construction effective de modèles en analyse d'images. La plupart des modèles sont issus de projets industriels auxquels l'auteur a participé en radiographie et en...

A desription of the new mathematical ideas in nonlinear dynamics in such a way that engineers can apply them to real physical systems.

The National Security Agency funded a conference on Coding theory, Cryp­ tography, and Number Theory (nick-named Cryptoday) at the United States Naval Academy, on October 25-27, 1998. We were very fortunate to have been able to...

This book represents the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing which was held at Claremont Graduate University in 1998. An important...

This volume collects papers about the laws of geometric Brownian motions and their time-integrals, written by the author and coauthors between 1988 and 1998. Throughout the volume, connections with more recent studies involving...

Detailed lecture notes on six topics at the forefront of current research in numerical analysis and applied mathematics, with each set of notes presenting a self-contained guide to a current research area and supplemented by an...

Bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory are two well-known areas within the field of dynamical systems. Both are studies of smooth systems, focusing on properties that seem to be manifestly non-smooth. Bifurcation theory is...

Cryptography is one of the most active areas in current mathematics research and applications. This book focuses on cryptography along with two related areas: the study of probabilistic proof systems, and the theory of...
