Plasma Astrophysics, Part II: Reconnection and Flares (Astrophysics and Space Science Library)

Springer, 2012

This two-part book is devoted to classic fundamentals and current practices and perspectives of modern plasma astrophysics. This second part discusses the physics of magnetic reconnection and flares of electromagnetic origin in space plasmas in the solar system, single and double stars, relativistic objects, accretion disks and their coronae....

Mobius and his Band: Mathematics and Astronomy in Nineteenth-Century Germany

Oxford University Press, 1993

August Mobius was one of the 19th century's most influential mathematicians and astronomers. Written by six distinguished contributors, this book explores the work of Mobius and his brilliant German contemporaries. The work emphasizes those achievements which in many ways can be seen to reflect the exciting advances taking place at the time...

Advances in Chemical Physics: Modern Nonlinear Optics, Volume 119, Part 2, 2nd Edition

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

The new edition will provide the sole comprehensive resource available for non-linear optics, including detailed descriptions of the advances over the last decade from world-renowned experts.

This volume, produced in three parts, is the Second Edition of Volume 85 of the series, Modern Nonlinear Optics, edited by M.W. Evans and S....

Group Theoretical Methods in Image Processing (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 1990

These Lecture Notes are based on a series of lectures I gave at the Linkoping University Department of Electrical Engineering in 1988. In these lectures 1 tried to give an overview of the theory of representation of compact groups and some applications in the fields of image science and pattern recognition.

The participants...

Discrete-Time and Discrete-Space Dynamical Systems (Communications and Control Engineering)

Springer, 2019

Discrete-Time and Discrete-Space Dynamical Systems provides a systematic characterization of the similarities and differences of several types of discrete-time and discrete-space dynamical systems, including:

Boolean control networks;

nondeterministic finite-transition...

Elementary Concepts of Topology

Dover Publications, 1961

Concise work presents topological concepts in clear, elementary fashion without sacrificing their profundity or exactness. Author proceeds from basics of set-theoretic topology, through topological theorems and questions based on concept of the algebraic complex, to the concept of Betti groups.

FEW BRANCHES of geometry have...

Quantum Topology (Series on knots & everything)

World Scientific Publishing, 1993

Discusses topics in the field of quantum topology, including: knot theory, exotic spheres and global gravitational anomolies; construction of 4D topological quantum field theories; computing the arf invariants of links; and the Casson invariants for two-fold branched covers of links.

This book...

Foundations of Computer Vision: Computational Geometry, Visual Image Structures and Object Shape Detection (Intelligent Systems Reference Library)

Springer, 2017

This book introduces the fundamentals of computer vision (CV), with a focus on extracting useful information from digital images and videos. Including a wealth of methods used in detecting and classifying image objects and their shapes, it is the first book to apply a trio of tools (computational geometry, topology and algorithms) in solving...

Computer Aided Engineering Design

Springer, 2005

This book amalgamates geometric modelling, analysis and optimization, the three important aspects in Computer Aided Engineering Design. While the three subjects are well developed by themselves, a detailed discussion on engineering visualization (transformations and projections) and mathematical background of free form, parametric and piecewise...

Fragile Networks: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Synergies in an Uncertain World

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

A unified treatment of the vulnerabilities that exist in real-world network systems—with tools to identify synergies for mergers and acquisitions

Fragile Networks: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Synergies in an Uncertain World presents a comprehensive study of network systems and the roles these systems play...

Topological Methods in Data Analysis and Visualization II: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2012

When scientists analyze datasets in a search for underlying phenomena, patterns or causal factors, their first step is often an automatic or semi-automatic search for structures in the data. Of these feature-extraction methods, topological ones stand out due to their solid mathematical foundation. Topologically defined structures—as...

Formal Geometry and Bordism Operations (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

This text organizes a range of results in chromatic homotopy theory, running a single thread through theorems in bordism and a detailed understanding of the moduli of formal groups. It emphasizes the naturally occurring algebro-geometric models that presage the topological results, taking the reader through a pedagogical development of the...
