Decision Science in Action: Theory and Applications of Modern Decision Analytic Optimisation (Asset Analytics)

Springer, 2018

This book provides essential insights into a range of newly developed numerical optimization techniques with a view to solving real-world problems. Many of these problems can be modeled as nonlinear optimization problems, but due to their complex nature, it is not always possible to solve them using conventional optimization theory....

Iterated Function Systems for Real-Time Image Synthesis

Springer, 2007

Natural phenomena can be visually described with fractal-geometry methods, where iterative procedures rather than equations are used to model objects. With the development of better modelling algorithms, the efficiency of rendering, the realism of computer-generated scenes and the interactivity of visual stimuli are reaching astonishing levels....

Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications

John Benjamins Publishing, 2003

An accessible introduction to fractals, useful as a text or reference. Part I is concerned with the general theory of fractals and their geometry, covering dimensions and their methods of calculation, plus the local form of fractals and their projections and intersections. Part II contains examples of fractals drawn from a wide variety of areas in...

Getting Acquainted With Fractals

Walter de Gruyter, 2007

The first instance of pre-computer fractals was noted by the French mathematician Gaston Julia. He wondered what a complex polynomial function would look like, such as the ones named after him (in the form of z2 + c, where c is a complex constant with real and imaginary parts). The idea behind this formula is that one takes the x and y coordinates...

The After Effects Illusionist: All the Effects in One Complete Guide

Focal Press, 2009

Covers CS4
This cookbook contains recipe after recipe that allow you to harness the full power of the native plug-in effects in the After Effects application. In a step-by-step manner, author Chad Perkins guides you through the creation and application of each and every native plug-in effect available for use in the AE toolset....

Antenna and EM Modeling with Matlab

John Wiley & Sons, 2002

An accessible and practical tool for effective antenna design

Due to the rapid development of wireless communications, the modeling of radiation and scattering is becoming more important in the design of antennas. Consequently, it is increasingly important for antenna designers and students of antenna design to have a comprehensive...

SuperFractals

Cambridge University Press, 2006

SuperFractals is the long-awaited successor to Fractals Everywhere, in which the power and beauty of Iterated Function Systems were introduced and applied to producing startling and original images that reflect complex structures found for example in nature. This provoked the question of whether there is a deeper connection between topology,...

Computers, Pattern, Chaos and Beauty

Dover Publications, 2001

Combining fractal theory with computer art, this book introduces a creative use of computers. It describes graphic methods for detecting patterns in complicated data and illustrates simple techniques for visualizing chaotic behavior. "Beautiful." — Martin Gardner, Scientific American. Over 275 illustrations, 29...

The Topology of Chaos: Alice in Stretch and Squeezeland

John Wiley & Sons, 2002

A new approach to understanding nonlinear dynamics and strange attractors

The behavior of a physical system may appear irregular or chaotic even when it is completely deterministic and predictable for short periods of time into the future. How does one model the dynamics of a system operating in a chaotic regime? Older tools such...

A Passion for Mathematics: Numbers, Puzzles, Madness, Religion, and the Quest for Reality

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

A Passion for Mathematics is an educational, entertaining trip through the curiosities of the math world, blending an eclectic mix of history, biography, philosophy, number theory, geometry, probability, huge numbers, and mind-bending problems into a delightfully compelling collection that is sure to please math buffs, students, and...

Fractal Image Compression: Theory and Application

Springer, 1994

What is "Fractal Image Compression" anyway? You will have to read (he book to find out everything about it, and if you read the book, you really will find out almost everything that is currently known about it. In a sentence or two: fractal image compression is a method, or class of methods, that allows images to be stored on...
