Starting with the fundamentals of classical smooth optimization and building on established convex programming techniques, this research monograph presents a foundation and methodology for modern nonconvex nondifferentiable optimization. It provides readers with theory, methods, and applications of nonconvex and nondifferentiable optimization in ......
Matrix Analysis and Computations introduces the basics of matrix analysis and presents representative methods and their corresponding theories in matrix computations. In this textbook, readers will find: The matrix theory necessary for direct and iterative methods for solving systems of linear equations. Systematic methods and rigorous theory on ......
Based on a master's program course at the University of Southern California, the main goal of Mathematics and Tools for Financial Engineering is to train students to use mathematical and engineering tools to understand and solve financial problems. The book contains numerous examples and problems and is divided into two parts: Part I covers ......
Numerical Linear Algebra with Julia provides in-depth coverage of fundamental topics in numerical linear algebra, including how to solve dense and sparse linear systems, compute QR factorizations, compute the eigendecomposition of a matrix, and solve linear systems using iterative methods such as conjugate gradient. The style is friendly and ......
This book provides an overview of global sensitivity analysis methods and algorithms, including their theoretical basis and mathematical properties. The authors use a practical point of view and real case studies as well as numerous examples, and applications of the different approaches are illustrated throughout using R code to explain their ......
It has been estimated that as much as 80% of the total effort in a typical data analysis project is taken up with data preparation, including reconciling and merging data from different sources, identifying and interpreting various data anomalies, and selecting and implementing appropriate treatment strategies for the anomalies that are found. ......
This book is about nonlinear observability. It provides a modern theory of observability based on a new paradigm borrowed from theoretical physics and the mathematical foundation of that paradigm. In the case of observability, this framework takes into account the group of invariance that is inherent to the concept of observability, allowing the ......
The location of an object can often be determined from indirect measurements using a process called estimation. This book explains the mathematical formulation of location-estimation problems and the statistical properties of these mathematical models. It also presents algorithms that are used to resolve these models to obtain location estimates, ......
This second edition provides an enhanced exposition of the long-overlooked Hadamard semidifferential calculus, first introduced in the 1920s by mathematicians Jacques Hadamard and Maurice Rene Frechet. Hadamard semidifferential calculus is possibly the largest family of nondifferentiable functions that retains all the features of classical ......
