Higher Structures in Geometry and Physics
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99This book is centered around higher algebraic structures stemming from the work of Murray Gerstenhaber and Jim Stasheff that are now ubiquitous in various areas of mathematics-- such as algebra, algebraic topology, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, mathematical physics-- and in theoretical physics such as quantum field theory and string theory.... more...
Homotopy Theory of C*-Algebras
Springer 2010; US$ 47.99Homotopy theory and C* algebras are central topics in contemporary mathematics. This book introduces a modern homotopy theory for C*-algebras. One basic idea of the setup is to merge C*-algebras and spaces studied in algebraic topology into one category comprising C*-spaces. These objects are suitable fodder for standard homotopy theoretic moves, leading... more...
Homotopy of Extremal Problems
De Gruyter 2007; US$ 224.00This monograph provides a thorough treatment of parameter-dependent extremal problems with local minimum values that remain unchanged under changes of the parameter. The authors consider the theory as well the practical treatment of those problems, both in finite-dimensional as well as in infinite-dimensional spaces. Various applications are considered,... more...
Combinatorial Homotopy and 4-Dimensional Complexes
De Gruyter 1991; US$ 182.00Combinatorial Homotopy and 4-Dimensional Complexes (Architektur Auf Naxos Und Paros) more...
Statistics and Analysis of Shapes
Springer 2007; US$ 84.99The subject of pattern analysis and recognition pervades many aspects of our daily lives, including user authentication in banking, object retrieval from databases in the consumer sector, and the omnipresent surveillance and security measures around sensitive areas. Shape analysis, a fundamental building block in many approaches to these applications,... more...
ZZ/2 - Homotopy Theory
Cambridge University Press 1980; US$ 46.00This account is a study of twofold symmetry in algebraic topology. more...
Beyond Perturbation: Introduction to the Homotopy Analysis Method
Taylor and Francis 2003; US$ 139.95Solving nonlinear problems is inherently difficult, and the stronger the nonlinearity, the more intractable solutions become. Analytic approximations often break down as nonlinearity becomes strong, and even perturbation approximations are valid only for problems with weak nonlinearity. This book introduces a powerful new analytic method for nonlinear... more...
Shape Optimization and Optimal Design
Marcel Dekker Inc 2001; US$ 259.95This volume presents developments and advances in modelling passive and active control systems governed by partial differential equations. It emphasizes shape analysis, optimal shape design, controllability, nonlinear boundary control, and stabilization. more...
Homology
Wiley 2008; US$ 167.00'Homology' as a concept became increasingly elusive during the course of the 20th century. The central debates and controversies concern both fundamental definitions and the nature of the criteria by which homology is judged. Attempts to move away from comparative morphology to ideas based on developmental pathways have tended to founder on the... more...
