Hamiltonian fluid dynamics and stability theory work hand-in-hand in a variety of engineering, physics, and physical science fields. This book offers an introduction to Hamiltonian fluid dynamics and describes aspects of hydrodynamic stability theory within the context of the Hamiltonian formalism.

Inverse boundary problems are an area of applied mathematics with applications throughout physics and the engineering sciences. This book considers the following: Can the unknown coefficients of an elliptic partial differential equation be determined from the eigen values and the boundary values of the eigen functions?

Progress in the field of SCQM (supersymmetric classical and quantum mechanics) has been dramatic and the literature continues to grow. This monograph offers an overview of the field and summarizes the major developments over the years. It provides both a review of the literature and an exposition of the underlying SCQM principles.

Presents a treatment of asymptotics, including exponential asymptotics and generalized Borel summability. This work explores applications to various problems in ordinary and partial differential equations and difference equations. It is suitable for those interested in asymptotics and perturbation methods.

Often perceived as dry and abstract, homological algebra has important applications in a number of important areas, including ring theory, group theory, representation theory, and algebraic topology and geometry. Suitable for graduate students, this book presents the material in an easy-to-understand manner with various examples and exercises.

Focuses on canonical-form characterizations of isometries on Banach spaces. This monograph explores the topic in the context of vector-valued function spaces and operator spaces. It looks at some of the wide variety of methods used in addressing the characterization problem in various types of spaces.

Presents most of the developments in continuous matrix variate distribution theory. This work investigates the range of matrix variate distributions, including: matrix variate normal distribution; Wishart distribution; Matrix variate t-distribution; Matrix variate beta distribution; F-distribution; and, Matrix variate Dirichlet distribution.

Understanding the causes and effects of explosions is important to experts in a broad range of disciplines, including the military, industrial and environmental research, aeronautic engineering, and applied mathematics. Offering an introductory review of historic research, this book brings analytical and computational methods.
