    First, it was clear that the classical approach, using the theory of extremal quasi-conformal mappings (in this approach we completely avoid the use of quasi-conformal maps) was not easily applicable to the theory of minimal surfaces, a field of interest of the author over many years.

  • by Leon Simon
    £58.49

    The aim of these lecture notes is to give an essentially self-contained introduction to the basic regularity theory for energy minimizing maps, including recent developments concerning the structure of the singular set and asymptotics on approach to the singular set.

  • by Randall J. LeVeque
    £37.99

    These notes developed from a course on the numerical solution of conservation laws first taught at the University of Washington in the fall of 1988 and then at ETH during the following spring.

    Der Begriff der Splinefunktionen wurde von I. J. Schoenberg 1946 eingefUhrt. "Spline" ist der Name eines Zeichengerates, welches auf mechanischem Weg Interpolatio- aufgaben lost. Dieses Gerat besteht aus einer flexiblen, oft mehrere Meter langen Latte, die auf dem Zeichenbrett aufliegt und dort an bestimmten Stellen durch Gewichte festgehalten wird. Die Form, die die Latte annimmt, hangt von den Elastizitatseigenschaften der Latte abo -, " , , , , , , \ , \ \ I , , , ," -"', , , , , J::>----" , I I , I I I , , , , , , , , , , , " ) Fig. 1: Latteninterpo1ation Po1ynominterpo1ation _ - - - - - - - --0 Wir konnen natUrlich versuchen, ein mathematisches Modell fUr dieses mechanische Zeichengerat zu machen, d. h. die Gestalt solcher Kurven mathematisch zu erfassen. - 2 - Die Theorie der Balkenbiegung verlangt, dass die mittlere 2 K quadratische KrUmmung, ("strain energy", Spannungs- J energie) minimiert wird.

Die Extremalfunktion fUr das Funktional (2) ist stUckweise ein kubisches Polynom; die Polyn- stUcke gehen an den Bruchstellen so glatt ineinander Uber, dass die Funktion zweimal stetig differenzierbar ist.

    one should succeed in finding and discussing those functions which play the part for any algebraic number field corresponding to that of the exponential function in the field of rational numbers and of the elliptic modular functions in the imaginary quadratic number field".

  • by Gilbert Baumslag
    £42.99

    Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic.

  • by Olavi Nevanlinna
    £34.99

    Assume that after preconditioning we are given a fixed point problem x = Lx + f (*) where L is a bounded linear operator which is not assumed to be symmetric and f is a given vector.

  • by Vladimir Turaev
    £42.49

    Offers an introduction to combinatorial torsions of cellular spaces and manifolds with emphasis on torsions of 3-dimensional manifolds. This book describes the results of G Meng, C H Taubes and the author on the connections between the refined torsions and the Seiberg-Witten invariant of 3-manifolds.

  • by Heinz-Otto Kreiss
    £38.49

    This book studies time-dependent partial differential equations and their numerical solution, developing the analytic and the numerical theory in parallel, and placing special emphasis on the discretization of boundary conditions.

  • by Frederic Helein
    £38.49

    This title provides and introduction to harmonic maps between a surface and a symmetric manifold and constant mean curvature surfaces as completely integrable systems. It should help the reader to access the ideas of the theory and to aquire a unified perspective of the subject.

  • by Charles M. Newman
    £29.99

    One question treated at length concerns the low temperature behavior of short-range spin glasses: whether and in what sense Parisi's analysis of the meanfield (or "infinite-range") model is relevant.

  • by Jon F. Carlson
    £29.99

    The notes in this volume were written as a part of a Nachdiplom course that I gave at the ETH in the summer semester of 1995. Such a course began with the fundamentals of group cohomology, and then investigated the structure of cohomology rings, and their maximal ideal spectra.

  • by Jurgen Moser
    £38.49

    On the other hand, Mather started with a specific class of area-preserving annulus mappings, the so-called monotone twist maps. These maps appear in mechanics as Poincare maps. In 1982, Mather succeeded to make essential progress in this field and to prove the existence of a class of closed invariant subsets which are now called Mather sets.

  • - Asymptotic Problems
    by Mark I. Freidlin
    £42.99

    This volume presents new results in probability theory and partial differential equations related to asymptotic

  • - In Metric Spaces and in the Space of Probability Measures
    by Luigi Ambrosio, Nicola Gigli & Giuseppe Savare
    £104.49

    The book is devoted to the theory of gradient flows in the general framework of metric spaces, and in the more specific setting of the space of probability measures, which provide a surprising link between optimal transportation theory and many evolutionary PDE's related to (non)linear diffusion.
