An Introduction to continuous-time stochastic processes : Theory, models, and applications to finance, biology, and medicine
This book is introduction to the theory of continuous-time stochastic processes. A balance of theory and applications, the work features concrete examples of modeling real-world problems from biology, medicine, industrial applications, finance, and insurance using stochastic methods. No previous knowledge of stochastic processes is required. Key topics covered include: * Interacting particles and agent-based models: from polymers to ants * Population dynamics: from birth and death processes to epidemics * Financial market models: the non-arbitrage principle * Contingent claim valuation models: the risk-neutral valuation theory * Risk analysis in insurance
Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory : In Honor of Vladimir Drinfeld's 50th Birthday
One of the most creative mathematicians of our times, Vladimir Drinfeld received the Fields Medal in 1990 for his groundbreaking contributions to the Langlands program and to the theory of quantum groups.These ten original articles by prominent mathematicians, dedicated to Drinfeld on the occasion of his 50th birthday, broadly reflect the range of Drinfeld's own interests in algebra, algebraic geometry, and number theory.
Algebraic and Proof-theoretic Aspects of Non-classical Logics : Papers in Honor of Daniele Mundici on the Occasion of His 60th Birthday
It profound connections between logic and such diverse fields of research as functional analysis, probability and measure theory, the geometry of toric varieties, piecewise linear geometry, and error-correcting codes. Several prominent logicians, mathematicians, and computer scientists
Algebra, Meaning, and Computation ; Essays dedicated to Joseph A. Goguen on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday
This Festschrift volume - published to honor Joseph Goguen on his 65th Birthday on June 28, 2006 - includes 32 refereed papers by leading researchers in the different areas spanned by Joseph Goguen's work. The papers address a broad variety of topics from meaning, meta-logic, specification and composition, behavior and formal languages, as well as models, deduction, and computation.The papers were presented at a Symposium in San Diego, California, USA in June 2006.
Advances in Robot Control : From Everyday Physics to Human-Like Movements
This volume provides a unique collection of papers written in honor of the 70th birthday of Suguru Arimoto who has long been recognized as a pioneer in the field of robot control. A variety of his research is reflected in this book, which includes contributions from leading experts in the field, who have also been closely associated with Suguru Arimoto at various stages in his distinguished career. The book is build around two themes: the physics-based robot control for coping with the so-called everyday physics problems on one hand, and the challenge of reproducing beautiful, human-like movements on the other hand. These themes defined much of Arimoto’s research in the field of robot control and are the cornerstones of his perception of human robotics.
Advances in computer science - ASIAN 2004 : Higher level decision making ; 9th Asian computing ccience conference ; Dedicated to Jean-Louis Lassez on the occasion of his 5th cycle birthday, Chiang Mai, Thailand, December 8-10, 2004
Constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Asian Computing Science Conference was held in Chiang Mai in Decem-ber 2004. This volume contains papers that were presented at that conference. Its theme was “higher-level decision-making”.Philippe Flajolet was invited to give the opening keynote address, whileYuzuru Tanaka and Phillip Rogaway werealso keynote speakers. In additionto the keynote speakers, distinguished colleagues of Jean-Louis Lassez were in-vited to present talks in his honour. Many of those talks are represented bypapers in this volume, this book Include Topics : Theory of Computation / Artificial Intelligence / Software Engineering / Programming and Operating Systems / Cryptology / Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science / Information Systems Applications (incl. Internet)
Abord Clinique en Obstétrique = Clinical approach in Obstetrics
This book aims to clarify and develop the particularities of the clinical examination in obstetrics; it deliberately excludes childbirth and the aftermath of childbirth.
Abnormal Skeletal Phenotypes : From Simple Signs to Complex Diagnoses
This book focuses on the radiographic changes of malformation syndromes and skeletal dysplasias. It is structured such that the reader can identify the radiographic changes and relate them to specific disease entities. The aim is to provide an essential, practical guideline to the recognition of the key radiographic signs for diagnosing malformation syndromes and skeletal dysplasias.
A journey of embedded and cyber-physical systems : Essays dedicated to Peter Marwedel on the occasion of his 70th birthday
This book celebrates Professor Peter Marwedel's outstanding achievements in compilers, embedded systems, and cyber-physical systems. The contributions in the book summarize the content of invited lectures given at the workshop “Embedded Systems” held at the Technical University Dortmund in early July 2019 in honor of Professor Marwedel's seventieth birthday.
