Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the most frequently occurring types of optimization problems involves decision variables which have to take integer values. From a practical point of view, such problems occur in countless areas of management, engineering, administration, etc., and include such problems as location of plants or warehouses, scheduling of aircraft, cutting raw materials to prescribed dimensions, design of computer chips, increasing reliability or capacity of networks, etc. This is the class of problems known in the professional literature as 'discrete optimization' problems. While these problems are of enormous applicability, they present many challenges from a computational point of view. This volume is an update on the impressive progress achieved by mathematicians, operations researchers, and computer scientists in solving discrete optimization problems of very large sizes. The surveys in this volume present a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in discrete optimization and are written by the most prominent researchers from all over the world.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Contains a unitary and systematic presentation of parts of a fundamental branch of functional analysis: linear semigroup theory with main emphasis on examples and applications. This book includes several results referring to various classes of semigroups such as equicontinuous, compact, differentiable and analytic.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The articles that comprise this volume address a range of topics that concern mathematical fluid dynamics including: the Boltzman equation, collisional kinetic theory, viscous heat conducting compressible fluids and dynamic flows in liquids and vapours.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a clear picture of the use of applied mathematics as a tool for improving the accuracy of agricultural research. For decades, statistics has been regarded as the fundamental tool of the scientific method. With new breakthroughs in computers and computer software, it has become feasible and necessary to improve the traditional approach in agricultural research by including additional mathematical modeling procedures.
