This volume contains the papers presented at the 14th International Workshop
on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(APPROX 2011) and the 15th International Workshop on Randomization and
Computation (RANDOM 2011), which took place concurrently in Princeton
University, USA, during August 17–19,...
Mirroring the latest developments in materials, methods, codes, and standards in building and bridge design, this is a one-of-a-kind, definitive reference for engineers.
This chapter presents and discusses the properties of structural steels that are of importance in design
and construction. Designers should be familiar with...
This text on geometry modeling is devoted to a number of central geometrical topics—
graphs of functions, transformations, (non-)Euclidean geometries, curves and surfaces—
and presents some elementary methods for analytical modeling and visualization
of them.
In 1872 F. Klein proposed his Erlangen Programme in...
This volume presents the fundamentals of graph theory and then goes on to discuss specific chemical applications. Chapter 1 provides a historical setting for the current upsurge of interest in chemical graph theory. chapter 2 gives a full background of the basic ideas and mathematical formalism of graph theory and includes such chemically...
This book deals with the analysis of the structure of complex networks by combining results from graph theory, physics, and pattern recognition. The book is divided into two parts. 11 chapters are dedicated to the development of theoretical tools for the structural analysis of networks, and 7 chapters are illustrating, in a critical way,...
An essential element of secure coding in the Java programming language is a welldocumented and enforceable coding standard. The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java provides rules for secure coding in the Java programming language. The goal of these rules is to eliminate insecure coding practices that can lead to exploitable...
Computer graphics involves simulating the distribution of light in a 3D
environment. There are only a few fundamentally different algorithms that
have survived the test of time. They can be loosely classified into projective
algorithms and image-space algorithms. The former class projects each geo
metric primitive onto the...
The first all-in-one reference for the beet-sugar industry
Beet-Sugar Handbook is a practical and concise reference for technologists, chemists, farmers, and research personnel involved with the beet-sugar industry. It covers:
* Basics of beet-sugar technology
* Sugarbeet farming
* Sugarbeet...
This work is an introduction to mathematical analysis at an elementary level. Emphasis is given to the construction of national and then real numbers, using the method of equivalence classes and of Cauchy sequences. The text includes the presentation of: sequences of real numbers, infinite numerical series, continuous functions, deriviatives...
Today, nearly every undergraduate mathematics program requires at least one semester of real analysis. Often, students consider this course to be the most challenging or even intimidating of all their mathematics major requirements. The primary goal of A Problem Book in Real Analysis is to alleviate those concerns by systematically solving...
University mathematics departments have for many years offered courses with titles such as Advanced Calculus or Introductory Real Analysis.The se courses are taken by a variety of students, serve a number of purposes, and are written at various levels of sophistication.T he students range from ones who have just completed a course in...
The field of multidimensional data structures is large and growing very quickly. Here, for the first time, is a thorough treatment of multidimensional point data, object and image-based representations, intervals and small rectangles, and high-dimensional datasets. The book includes a thorough introduction; a comprehensive survey to spatial...
