Moment Theory And Some Inverse Problems In Potential Theory And Heat Conduction

Download or read book Moment Theory and Some Inverse Problems in Potential Theory and Heat Conduction written by Dang D. Ang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-10-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moment Theory is not a new subject; however, in classical treatments, the ill-posedness of the problem is not taken into account - hence this monograph. Assuming a "true" solution to be uniquely determined by a sequence of moments (given as integrals) of which only finitely many are inaccurately given, the authors describe and analyze several regularization methods and derive stability estimates. Mathematically, the task often consists in the reconstruction of an analytic or harmonic function, as is natural from concrete applications discussed (e.g. inverse heat conduction problems, Cauchy's problem for the Laplace equation, gravimetry). The book can be used in a graduate or upper undergraduate course in Inverse Problems, or as supplementary reading for a course on Applied Partial Differential Equations.

Download or read book The Wulff Crystal in Ising and Percolation Models written by Raphaël Cerf and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-08-29 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a synopsis of recent works aiming at a mathematically rigorous justification of the phase coexistence phenomenon, starting from a microscopic model. It is intended to be self-contained. Those proofs that can be found only in research papers have been included, whereas results for which the proofs can be found in classical textbooks are only quoted.

Download or read book Penalising Brownian Paths written by Bernard Roynette and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penalising a process is to modify its distribution with a limiting procedure, thus defining a new process that differs from the original. This book presents a number of examples of such penalisations in the Brownian and Bessel processes framework.

Download or read book Hydrodynamic Limits of the Boltzmann Equation written by Laure Saint-Raymond and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to present some mathematical results describing the transition from kinetic theory, and, more precisely, from the Boltzmann equation for perfect gases to hydrodynamics. Different fluid asymptotics will be investigated, starting always from solutions of the Boltzmann equation which are only assumed to satisfy the estimates coming from physics, namely some bounds on mass, energy and entropy.

Download or read book Random Polymers written by Frank Hollander and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer chains that interact with themselves and/or their environment display a range of physical and chemical phenomena. This text focuses on the mathematical description of some of these phenomena, offering a mathematical panorama of polymer chains.

Download or read book Donaldson Type Invariants for Algebraic Surfaces written by Takuro Mochizuki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are defining and studying an algebro-geometric analogue of Donaldson invariants by using moduli spaces of semistable sheaves with arbitrary ranks on a polarized projective surface.We are interested in relations among the invariants, which are natural generalizations of the "wall-crossing formula" and the "Witten conjecture" for classical Donaldson invariants. Our goal is to obtain a weaker version of these relations, by systematically using the intrinsic smoothness of moduli spaces. According to the recent excellent work of L. Goettsche, H. Nakajima and K. Yoshioka, the wall-crossing formula for Donaldson invariants of projective surfaces can be deduced from such a weaker result in the rank two case!

Download or read book Endoscopy for GSp(4) and the Cohomology of Siegel Modular Threefolds written by Rainer Weissauer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume grew out of a series of preprints which were written and circulated - tween 1993 and 1994. Around the same time, related work was done independently by Harder [40] and Laumon [62]. In writing this text based on a revised version of these preprints that were widely distributed in summer 1995, I ?nally did not p- sue the original plan to completely reorganize the original preprints. After the long delay, one of the reasons was that an overview of the results is now available in [115]. Instead I tried to improve the presentation modestly, in particular by adding cross-references wherever I felt this was necessary. In addition, Chaps. 11 and 12 and Sects. 5. 1, 5. 4, and 5. 5 were added; these were written in 1998. I willgivea moredetailedoverviewofthecontentofthedifferentchaptersbelow. Before that I should mention that the two main results are the proof of Ramanujan’s conjecture for Siegel modular forms of genus 2 for forms which are not cuspidal representations associated with parabolic subgroups(CAP representations), and the study of the endoscopic lift for the group GSp(4). Both topics are formulated and proved in the ?rst ?ve chapters assuming the stabilization of the trace formula. All the remaining technical results, which are necessary to obtain the stabilized trace formula, are presented in the remaining chapters. Chapter 1 gathers results on the cohomology of Siegel modular threefolds that are used in later chapters, notably in Chap. 3. At the beginning of Chap.
