  • Identification Of Cellular Automataby A. I. Adamatzky

    CRC Press 1994; US$ 54.95

    Presents the foundation and development of the theory of cellular automata identification and its application to natural systems. more...

  • Handbook Of Graph Grammars And Computing By Graph Transformation, Volume 1by G Rozenberg

    World Scientific 1997; US$ 133.90

    Graph grammars originated in the late 60s, motivated by considerations about pattern recognition and compiler construction. Since then the list of areas which have interacted with the development of graph grammars has grown quite impressively. Besides the aforementioned areas it includes software specification and development, VLSI layout schemes, database design, modeling of concurrent systems, massively parallel computer architectures, logic programming, computer animation, developmental biology, music composition, visual languages, and many others. The area of graph grammars and graph transformations generalizes formal language theory based on strings and the theory of term rewriting based on trees. As a matter of fact within the area of... more...

  • Stochastic Complexity in Statistical Inquiryby J Rissanen

    World Scientific 1989; US$ 75.40

    This book describes how model selection and statistical inference can be founded on the shortest code length for the observed data, called the stochastic complexity. This generalization of the algorithmic complexity not only offers an objective view of statistics, where no prejudiced assumptions of "true" data generating distributions are needed, but it also in one stroke leads to calculable expressions in a range of situations of practical interest and links very closely with mainstream statistical theory. The search for the smallest stochastic complexity extends the classical maximum likelihood technique to a new global one, in which models can be compared regardless of their numbers of parameters. more...

  • Fundamentals of Error-Correcting Codesby W. Cary Huffman; Vera Pless

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 52.00

    Fundamentals of Error Correcting Codes is an in-depth introduction to coding theory from both an engineering and mathematical viewpoint. As well as covering classical topics, much coverage is included of recent techniques which until now could only be found in specialist journals and book publications. more...

  • Foundations of Cryptography: Volume 1, Basic Toolsby Oded Goldreich

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 42.00

    The design of cryptographic systems must be based on firm foundations. This book focuses on the basic mathematical tools needed for cryptographic design: computational difficulty (one-way functions), pseudorandomness and zero-knowledge proofs. Suitable for use in a graduate course, the book's emphasis is on the clarification of fundamental concepts, and on demonstrating the feasibility of solving important cryptographic problems. more...

  • Automatic Sequencesby Jean-Paul Allouche; Jeffrey Shallit

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 65.00

    This is a book about the sequences of symbols that can be generated by simple models of computation called 'finite automata'. It starts from first principles and develops the basic theory, then demonstrates applications to problems in number theory and physics. Suitable for graduates or advanced undergraduates. more...

  • Coding Theory And Cryptologyby H Niederreiter

    World Scientific 2002; US$ 91.00

    The inaugural research program of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore took place from July to December 2001 and was devoted to coding theory and cryptology. As part of the program, tutorials for graduate students and junior researchers were given by world-renowned scholars. These tutorials covered fundamental aspects of coding theory and cryptology and were designed to prepare for original research in these areas. The present volume collects the expanded lecture notes of these tutorials. more...

  • Problem Solving in Automata, Languages, and Complexityby Ding-Zhu Du; Ker-I Ko

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 139.95

    Automata and natural language theory are topics lying at the heart of computer science. Both are linked to computational complexity and together, these disciplines help define the parameters of what constitutes a computer, the structure of programs, which problems are solvable by computers, and a range of other crucial aspects of the practice of computer science. In this important volume, two respected authors/editors in the field offer accessible, practice-oriented coverage of these issues with an emphasis on refining core problem solving skills. more...

  • Algebraic Theory Of Automata And Languagesby Masami Ito

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 71.50

    Although there are some books dealing with algebraic theory of automata, their contents consist mainly of Krohn?Rhodes theory and related topics. The topics in the present book are rather different. For example, automorphism groups of automata and the partially ordered sets of automata are systematically discussed. Moreover, some operations on languages and special classes of regular languages associated with deterministic and nondeterministic directable automata are dealt with. The book is self-contained and hence does not require any knowledge of automata and formal languages. more...

  • Evolutionary Game Theory, Natural Selection, and Darwinian Dynamicsby Thomas Vincent; Joel Brown

    Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 130.00

    Many topics in natural selection are investigated including co-evolution, speciation, and extinction. It may be described as a book on mathematical Darwinism. Darwin used logical verbal arguments to understand evolution. These arguments are presented here in a mathematical setting useful for both understanding evolution and allowing for prediction as well. more...
