Here is a book that provides the classical foundations of invariant imbedding, a concept that provided the first indication of the connection between transport theory and the Riccati Equation. The reprinting of this classic volume was prompted by a revival of interest in the subject area because of its uses for inverse problems. The major part of ......
This is one of the first texts in which electro-diffusion of ions in its different aspects is considered as a unified subject. As a subject it is relevant to understanding the behavior of apparently different physical objects such as electrolyte solution, ion-exchangers, ion-selective membranes, and semiconductors. This text treats a selection of ......
Here is a monograph that describes current research efforts in the application of symbolic computation to several areas, including dynamical systems, differential geometry, Lie algebra's, numerical analysis, fluid dynamics, perturbation theory, control theory, and mechanics. The chapters, which illustrate how symbolic computations can be used to ......
A Study of Variational Inequalities and Finite Element Methods
The contact of one deformable body with another lies at the heart of almost every mechanical structure. Here, in a comprehensive treatment, two of the field's leading researchers present a systematic approach to contact problems. Using variational formulations, Kikuchi and Oden derive a multitude of new results, both for classical problems and for ......
Mathematical methods based on the theory of stochastic processes have long been used effectively in telephone traffic modelling. Modern network traffic, which is distinctly different from traditional voice traffic, generates challenging problems of a mathematical and statistical character. Stochastic Modelling in Broadband Communications Systems ......
Probabilists and fuzzy enthusiasts tend to disagree about which philosophy is best and they rarely work together. As a result, textbooks usually give one method of solving problems or the other, not both. This book is an exception. The authors, investigators from both fields, have combined their talents to provide a practical guide that shows that ......
Making Decisions with Confidence Intervals in Random and Mixed ANOVA Models
This book provides a protocol for conducting gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) experiments. Such an experiment is required whenever a new test system is developed to monitor a manufacturing process. The protocol presented here is used to determine if the testing system is capable of monitoring the manufacturing process with the desired ......
This book presents modern log interpretation simply and concisely for the geologist, petrophysicist, reservoir engineer, and production engineer familiar with rock properties but inexperienced with logs. It helps you specify good logging programs with up-to-date tools and interpret zones of interest with the latest techniques. You will also become ......
