The volume is dedicated to Lev Sakhnovich, who made fundamental contributions in operator theory and related topics. Besides bibliographic material, it includes a number of selected papers related to Lev Sakhnovich's research interests. The papers are related to operator identities, moment problems, random matrices and linear stochastic systems.

The framework of 'symmetry' provides an important route between the abstract theory and experimental observations. From the reviews:"[The] rich collection of examples makes the book...extremely useful for motivation and for spreading the ideas to a large Community."--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

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.

Deals with the theory of function spaces of type Bspq and Fspq. This book analyzes the theory of function spaces in Rn and in domains, applications to (exotic) pseudo-differential operators, and function spaces on Riemannian manifolds.

As a consequence, researchers and project managers in the pharmaceutical industry should have a solid knowledge of the more important methods available to drug discovery, because it is the rapidly and intelligently combined use of these which will determine the success or failure of preclinical projects.

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.

Microlocal analysis is a field of mathematics that was invented in the mid-20th century for the detailed investigation of problems from partial differential equations, which incorporated and made rigorous many ideas that originated in physics.

Water supply- and drainage systems and mixed water channel systems are networks whose high dynamic is determined and/or affected by consumer habits on drinking water on the one hand and by climate conditions, in particular rainfall, on the other hand.

The origins of Schur analysis lie in a 1917 article by Issai Schur in which he constructed a numerical sequence to correspond to a holomorphic contractive function on the unit disk.

This collection of Heinz Konig's publications connects to his book of 1997 "e;Measure and Integration"e; and presents significant developments in the subject from then up to the present day. The result is a consistent new version of measure theory, including selected applications. The basic step is the introduction of the inner * (bullet) and outer * (bullet) premeasures and their extension to unique maximal measures. New "e;envelopes"e; for the initial set function (to replace the traditional Caratheodory outer measures) have been created, which lead to much simpler and more explicit treatment. In view of these new concepts, the main results are unmatched in scope and plainness, as well as in explicitness. Important examples are the formation of products, a unified Daniell-Stone-Riesz representation theorem, and projective limits.

The present book is the ideal complement to the practitioner's manual Techniques in Molecular Systematics and Evolution, recently published by the same editors in the Birkhauser MTBM book series.The first part of this book deals with important applications of evolutionary and systematic analysis at different taxonomic levels.

- Acta Scientiarum MathematicarumAvramov lecture: "... - Zentralblatt MATHValla lecture: "... since he is an acknowledged expert on Hilbert functions and since his interest has been so broad, he has done a superb job in giving the readers a lively picture of the theory."

Arnold, who is renowned for his lively style, retraces the beginnings of mathematical analysis and theoretical physics in the works (and the intrigues!) of the great scientists of the 17th century.
