Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch führt kompakt in einige Kerngebiete der Diskreten Mathematik ein. Es behandelt zunächst grundlegende Konzepte aus der Kombinatorik und der Graphentheorie und fokussiert anschließend in seinem methodischen Teil auf probabilistische und algebraische Techniken sowie Themen aus der Ramseytheorie. So wird den Lesenden klar, dass die Diskrete Mathematik eine spannende Disziplin mit eigenen Fragestellungen ist, die zahlreiche interessante Bezüge zu den klassischen Anfängervorlesungen hat.Dieses Buch stellt das Fachgebiet in idealer Breite und Tiefe für eine zwei- bis vierstündige Lehrveranstaltung dar.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 152 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch behandelt die allgemeine Theorie der Orthogonalpoly nome beztiglich einer nichtnegativen Belegung tiber der reellen Zahlen geraden. Ala Vorkenntnis wurde bei dem Leser - auBer den tiblichen Grundlagen der Analysis - das Absolvieren eines einftihrenden Kurses uber reelle Funktionen vorausgesetzt. Nur fur das Studium des letzten Kapitela sind einige Kenntnisse aus der Theorie der Funktionen einer komplexen Veranderlichen erforderlich;' lch hoffe, jedemLeser etwas Nutzliches zu bieten, ob er sich zwecks Anwendungen der fertigen Resul tate, um Material ftir eine Vorlesung oder ala zukiinftiger Forscher an mein Buch wendet. Auch dem Fachmann hoffe ioh manches Neue sagen zu konnen. Seit dem ersten Erscheinen der MonographIe von G. SZEGlS sind dreiBig Jahre verflossen. In diesen drei Jahrzehnten galt sein ausgezeichnetes Buch als Richtschnur fur die weitere Forschung. Die 195,9 erschienene zweite Auflage des Szegoschen Werkes brachte verhaltnismaBig wenig Erganzungen zum Original. Neuere Erscheinungen, wie die Bucher von F. TRICOMI und G. SANSONE sowie die ftir uns interessanten Teile des »Bateman Project« beschaftigen sich in erster Linie mit den speziellen Orthogonalpolynomen. Die Monographie von JA. L. GERONIMUS he handelt ausschlieBlich die Szegosche Theorie. Es fehIte eine zeitgemaBe nbersicht der allgemeinen Theorle der Orthogonalpolynome. lch hoffe, mit meinem Buch diese Lucke ausftillen zu konnen. Dnter »allgemeine Theorie« sei verstanden, daB aHe Resultate aus den heiden Tatsachen hergeleitet wurden, daB es sich um Polynome handelt, und daB die Folge dieser Polynome beztiglich einer vorgegebenen Belegung ein Ortho gonalsystem bildet.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 296 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -One of the most challenging problems of contemporary theoretical physics is the mathematically rigorous construction of a theory which describes gravitation and the other fundamental physical interactions within a common framework. The physical ideas which grew from attempts to develop such a theory require highly advanced mathematical methods and radically new physical concepts.This book presents different approaches to a rigorous unified description of quantum fields and gravity. It contains a carefully selected cross-section of lively discussions which took place in autumn 2010 at the fifth conference 'Quantum field theory and gravity - Conceptual and mathematical advances in the search for a unified framework' in Regensburg, Germany. In the tradition of the other proceedings covering this series of conferences, a special feature of this book is the exposition of a wide variety of approaches, with the intention to facilitate a comparison.The book is mainly addressed to mathematicians and physicists who are interested in fundamental questions of mathematical physics. It allows the reader to obtain a broad and up-to-date overview of a fascinating active research area.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 396 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Earthquake fault zones exhibit hierarchical damage and granular structures with evolving geometrical and material properties. Understanding how repeated brittle deformation form the structures and how the structures affect subsequent earthquakes is a rich problem involving coupling of various processes that operate over broad space and time scales. The diverse state-of-the-art papers collected here show how insight can come from many fields including statistical physics, structural geology and rock mechanics at large scales; elasticity, friction and nonlinear continuum mechanics at intermediate scales; and fracture mechanics, granular mechanics and surface physics at small scales.This volume will be useful to students and professional researchers from Earth Sciences, Material Sciences, Engineering, Physics and other disciplines, who are interested in the properties of natural fault zones and the processes that occur between and during earthquakes.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 312 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Thisexpositorymonographwaswrittenforthreereasons. Firstly,wewantedto present the solution to a problem posed by Wolfgang Krull in 1932 [Krull 32]. He asked whether what we now call the ¿Krull-SchmidtTheorem¿ holds for - tinianmodules. Theproblemremainedopenfor63years:itssolution,anegative answer to Krull¿s question, was published only in 1995 (see [Facchini, Herbera, Levy and Vamos]). ¿ Secondly, we wanted to present the answer to a question posed by War eld in 1975 [War eld 75]. He proved that every nitely p- sented module over a serial ring is a direct sum of uniserial modules, and asked if such a decomposition was unique. In other words, War eld asked whether the ¿Krull-Schmidt Theorem¿ holds for serial modules. The solution to this problem, a negative answer again, appeared in [Facchini 96]. Thirdly, the - lution to War eld¿s problem shows interesting behavior, a rare phenomenon in the history of Krull-Schmidt type theorems. Essentially, the Krull-Schmidt Theorem holds for some classes of modules and not for others. When it does hold, any two indecomposable decompositions are uniquely determined up to a permutation, and when it does not hold for a class of modules, this is proved via an example. For serial modules the Krull-Schmidt Theorem does not hold, but any two indecomposable decompositions are uniquely determined up to two permutations. We wanted to present such a phenomenon to a wider ma- ematical audience.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 300 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This is the first comprehensive study about the non-mathematical writings and activities of the Russian algebraic geometer and number theorist Igor Shafarevich (b. 1923). In the 1970s Shafarevich was a prominent member of the dissidents¿ human rights movement and a noted author of clandestine anti-communist literature in the Soviet Union. Shafarevich¿s public image suffered a terrible blow around 1989 when he was decried as a dangerous ideologue of anti-Semitism due to his newly-surfaced old manuscript Russophobia. The scandal culminated when the President of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States suggested that Shafarevich, an honorary member, resign. The present study establishes that the allegations about anti-Semitism in Shafarevich¿s texts were unfounded and that Shafarevich¿s terrible reputation was cemented on a false basis.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 556 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -As individuals age, their ability to respond to andclear pathogens and to control unwanted immune reactions declines, leading to a greater incidence of certain infectious diseases, autoimmunity and general immune dysfunctions. Most remarkably, the efficacy of vaccines is frequently decreased in elderly persons. Therefore, age-associated dysfunctions of the humoral and cellular immune responses have a strong clinical impact. Improving our understanding of the aged immune system is crucial in developing effective prevention and treatment programs that will facilitate healthy aging and improve the quality of life of the elderly population.The aim of this volume is to summarize current knowledge on the cellular and molecular aspects of the aging immune system, with an emphasis on infectious diseases and new therapeutic approaches.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 256 pp. Englisch.
