This book offers a thorough overview of modeling techniques, basic modeling methods, and modeling solutions. Part I explains basic modeling concepts based on analytical methods. Part II introduces and explains simulation methods for solving research problems.

This valuable compendium of statistical methods features a unique combination of methodology, theory, algorithms and applications. It covers recently developed approaches to handling large and complex data sets, including the Lasso and boosting methods.

Bringing together the fields of geodesy and environmental studies, this book presents the concepts of GNSS in a simplified way that can, on the one hand, be understood and utilised by environmentalists, while on the other, outlines its potential applications to environmental monitoring and management for those engaged more with its technology.

The field of optimal transport has made breathtaking forays into various other domains of mathematics. This book presents a broad overview of this area. PhD students or researchers can read the entire book without any prior knowledge of the field.

Karl Gustafson was given just two weeks to write the first US spy satellite's software. The project would fundamentally alter America's Cold War strategy, and this autobiographical account of a remarkable academic tells this fascinating inside story for the first time.

Complex-valued neural networks have higher functionality, learn faster and generalize better than their real-valued counterparts. This book on the multi-valued neuron (MVN) and MVN-based neural networks covers MVN theory, learning, and applications.

This monograph provides state-of-the-art numerical methods, procedures and algorithms in the field of computational geoscience, based on the authors' own work during the last decade.

This book presents an uncertainty modeling approach using a new type of fuzzy system model via "Fuzzy Functions". It also reviews standard tools of fuzzy system modeling approaches to demonstrate the novelty of the structurally different fuzzy function.

In three parts, this book presents the fundamentals, the theory and the application of structural design of hulls. The topics are treated comprehensively with an emphasis on how to achieve reliable and efficient ship structures.

This book, designed for advanced graduate students and post-graduate researchers, introduces Lie algebras and some of their applications to the spectroscopy of molecules, atoms, nuclei and hadrons.

A wide-ranging survey of the theory and evidence on public goods, presenting the main literature on public goods, both theoretical and empirical, in a systematic manner. The breadth and depth of the book's coverage extends the existing literature in many ways.

This book studies the strategic policy interactions in a monetary union. It develops a series of basic, intermediate, and more advanced models and provides readers with a practical grasp of the macroeconomic principles necessary to understand a monetary union.

The book series on manufacturing processes for engineers by Klocke is a reference for experts. This volume on Grinding, Honing and Lapping starts from the basics of cutting edge engagement during grinding. Practical insights into polishing are also provided.

This book is focused on mathematical analysis and rigorous design methods for fuzzy control systems based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models, sometimes called Takagi-Sugeno-Kang models.

Through a wealth of empirical evidence, this book compares the development trajectory of manufacturing technology and information technology between Japanese companies as well as between companies based in the US, Europe, Australia, India and China.

International financial markets play an increasingly important role. There can be no doubt that over the past twenty years the size of financial markets have grown at a faster pace than the size of the markets for goods and services. This book discusses the debate on the possible separation of the financial sector and real economy.

This book provides an introduction to Fractional Calculus for scientists and engineers. Mathematical abstractions are discussed in a lucid manner, with physical mathematical and geometrical explanations, and several practical applications are given.

This book presents the fundamentals of discrete information theory (measurement and mathematical modeling of sources and transmission channels) and of coding theory (compression, error control and encryption} using many examples including Genomic Coding.

This monograph treats the usefulness of flavor physics as probes of the TeV scale, with the aim of providing an introduction to the emerging LHC era. By concentrating only with the TeV scale connection, a large part of the B factory output can be bypassed.

In this text, two planning approaches for integrated airline scheduling are presented. One follows the traditional sequential approach, and the other uses metaheuristics to offer a truly simultaneous approach to airline scheduling.

In this ambitious book, the authors challenge mainstream economic theory to present a new theoretical concept on modern economic reality. The book reveals in detail the key notions of the sociodynamic multiplier and the rational behavior of the state.

This book describes a system of mathematical models and methods that can be used to analyze real economic and managerial decisions and to improve their effectiveness.

This is the second edition of a very popular book on DICOM that introduces this complex standard from a very practical point of view. It provides a gradual, down to earth introduction to DICOM, and this edition contains many improvements and additions.

Lays out an action agenda to move Germany to a high value system that include: care must be reorganized around patients and their medical conditions, providers must compete around the outcomes they achieve, health plans must take an active role in improving subscriber health, and payment must shift to models that reward excellent providers.

Hence evolution programming techniques, based on genetic algorithms, are applicable to many hard optimization problems, such as optimization of functions with linear and nonlinear constraints, the traveling salesman problem, and problems of scheduling, partitioning, and control.
