Overconvergence in Complex Approximation


Book Description

This monograph deals with the quantitative overconvergence phenomenon in complex approximation by various operators. The book is divided into three chapters. First, the results for the Schurer-Faber operator, Beta operators of first kind, Bernstein-Durrmeyer-type operators and Lorentz operator are presented. The main focus is on results for several q-Bernstein kind of operators with q > 1, when the geometric order of approximation 1/qn is obtained not only in complex compact disks but also in quaternion compact disks and in other compact subsets of the complex plane. The focus then shifts to quantitative overconvergence and convolution overconvergence results for the complex potentials generated by the Beta and Gamma Euler's functions. Finally quantitative overconvergence results for the most classical orthogonal expansions (of Chebyshev, Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre and Gegenbauer kinds) attached to vector-valued functions are presented. Each chapter concludes with a notes and open problems section, thus providing stimulation for further research. An extensive bibliography and index complete the text. This book is suitable for researchers and graduate students working in complex approximation and its applications, mathematical analysis and numerical analysis.




Generalized Functions and Their Applications


Book Description

The International Symposium on Generalized Functions and Their Applications was organized by the Department of Mathematics, Banaras Hindu University, and held December 23-26, 1991, on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebration of the university. More than a hundred mathematicians from ten countries participated in the deliberations of the symposium. Thirty lectures were delivered on a variety of topics within the area. The contributions to the proceedings of the symposium are, with a few exceptions, expanded versions of the lectures delivered by the invited speakers. The survey papers by Komatsu and Hoskins and Sousa Pinto provide an up-to-date account of the theory of hyperfunctions, ultradistributions and microfunctions, and the nonstandard theory of new generalized functions, respectively; those by Stankovic and Kanwal deal with structures and asymptotics. Choquet-Bruhat's work studies generalized functions on manifold and gives applications to shocks and discrete models. The other contributions relate to contemporary problems and achievements in theory and applications, especially in the theory of partial differential equations, differential geometry, mechanics, mathematical physics, and systems science. The proceedings give a very clear impression of the present state of the art in this field and contain many challenges, ideas, and open problems. The volume is very helpful for a broad spectrum of readers: graduate students to mathematical researchers.




Dyadic Walsh Analysis from 1924 Onwards Walsh-Gibbs-Butzer Dyadic Differentiation in Science Volume 1 Foundations


Book Description

Dyadic (Walsh) analysis emerged as a new research area in applied mathematics and engineering in early seventies within attempts to provide answers to demands from practice related to application of spectral analysis of different classes of signals, including audio, video, sonar, and radar signals. In the meantime, it evolved in a mature mathematical discipline with fundamental results and important features providing basis for various applications. The book will provide fundamentals of the area through reprinting carefully selected earlier publications followed by overview of recent results concerning particular subjects in the area written by experts, most of them being founders of the field, and some of their followers. In this way, this first volume of the two volume book offers a rather complete coverage of the development of dyadic Walsh analysis, and provides a deep insight into its mathematical foundations necessary for consideration of generalizations and applications that are the subject of the second volume. The presented theory is quite sufficient to be a basis for further research in the subject area as well as to be applied in solving certain new problems or improving existing solutions for tasks in the areas which motivated development of the dyadic analysis.




Banach Limit and Applications


Book Description

Banach Limit and Applications provides all the results in the area of Banach Limit, its extensions, generalizations, and applications to various fields in one go (as far as possible). All the results in this field, after Banach introduced this concept in 1932, were scattered till now. Sublinear functionals generating and dominating Banach Limit, unique Banach Limit (almost convergence), invariant means and invariant limits, absolute and strong almost convergence, applications to ergodicity, law of large numbers, Fourier series, uniform distribution of sequences, uniform density, core theorems, and functional Banach limits are discussed in this book. The discovery of functional analysis, such as the Hahn-Banach Theorem and the Banach-Steinhaus Theorem, helped the researchers to develop a modern, rich, and unified theory of sequence spaces by encompassing classical summability theory via matrix transformations and the topics related to sequence spaces, which arose from the concept of Banach limits, all of which are presented in this book. The unique features of this book are as follows: All the results in this area which were scattered till now are in one place. The book is the first of its kind in the sense that there is no other competitive book. The contents of this monograph did not appear in any book form before. The audience of this book are the researchers in this area and Ph.D. and advanced master’s students. The book is suitable for one- or two-semester course work for Ph.D. students, M.S. students in North America and Europe, and M.Phil. and master’s students in India.




Global Differential Geometry


Book Description

Alfred Gray's work covered a great part of differential geometry. In September 2000, a remarkable International Congress on Differential Geometry was held in his memory in Bilbao, Spain. Mathematicians from all over the world, representing 24 countries, attended the event. This volume includes major contributions by well known mathematicians (T. Banchoff, S. Donaldson, H. Ferguson, M. Gromov, N. Hitchin, A. Huckleberry, O. Kowalski, V. Miquel, E. Musso, A. Ros, S. Salamon, L. Vanhecke, P. Wellin and J.A. Wolf), the interesting discussion from the round table moderated by J.-P. Bourguignon, and a carefully selected and refereed selection of the Short Communications presented at the Congress. This book represents the state of the art in modern differential geometry, with some general expositions of some of the more active areas: special Riemannian manifolds, Lie groups and homogeneous spaces, complex structures, symplectic manifolds, geometry of geodesic spheres and tubes and related problems, geometry of surfaces, and computer graphics in differential geometry.




Algebra, Graph Theory and their Applications


Book Description

Algebra and Graph Theory are two fascinating branches of Mathematics. The tools of each have been used in the other to explore and investigate problems in depth. Especially the Cayley graphs constructed out of the group structures have been greatly and extensively used in Parallel computers to provide network to the routing problem. ALGEBRA, GRAPH THEORY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS takes an inclusive view of the two areas and presents a wide range of topics. It includes sixteen referred research articles on algebra and graph theory of which three are expository in nature alongwith articles exhibiting the use of algebraic techniques in the study of graphs. A substantial proportion of the book covers topics that have not yet appeared in book form providing a useful resource to the younger generation of researchers in Discrete Mathematics.




Controlled Branching Processes


Book Description

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive discussion of the available results for discrete time branching processes with random control functions. The independence of individuals’ reproduction is a fundamental assumption in the classical branching processes. Alternatively, the controlled branching processes (CBPs) allow the number of reproductive individuals in one generation to decrease or increase depending on the size of the previous generation. Generating a wide range of behaviors, the CBPs have been successfully used as modeling tools in diverse areas of applications.
