Bøger i CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series serien

An overview of classical reservoir engineering and basic reservoir simulation methods for students and practitioners.

This update of the 1987 title of the same name is an examination of what is currently known about the probabilistic method, written by one of its principal developers. Based on the notes from Spencer's 1986 series of ten lectures, this new edition contains an additional lecture: The Janson Inequalities.

Contains 10 lectures presented by Dr. Daubechies as the principal speaker at the 1990 CBMS-NSF Conference on Wavelets and Applications. The author has worked on several aspects of the wavelet transform and has developed a collection of wavelets that are remarkably efficient.

Draws together some mathematical ideas that are useful in population genetics, concentrating on a few aspects which are both biologically relevant and mathematically interesting.

Provides a unified discussion of the formulation and analysis of special methods of mixed initial boundary-value problems. The focus is on the development of a new mathematical theory that explains why and how well spectral methods work. Included are interesting extensions of the classical numerical analysis.

This second edition, like the first, attempts to arrive as simply as possible at some central problems in the Navier Stokes equations in the following areas: existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions in space dimensions two and three; large time behaviour of solutions and attractors; and numerical analysis of the Navier Stokes equations.

Subject of multivariate splines presented from an elementary point of view; includes many open problems.

Provides a comprehensive theory of the approximations of quantile processes in light of recent advances, as well as some of their statistical applications.

Focuses on finding the minimum number of arithmetic operations needed to perform the computation and on finding a better algorithm when improvement is possible. The author concentrates on that class of problems concerned with computing a system of bilinear forms.

Provides an overview of current developments in research on feasible computations; and a consideration of this area of research in relation to provable properties of complexity of computations.

Explores modern topics in graph theory and its applications to problems in transportation, genetics, pollution, perturbed ecosystems, urban services, and social inequalities. The author presents both traditional and relatively atypical graph-theoretical topics to best illustrate applications.

Presents lectures on a unified theory of and practical procedures for the numerical solution of very general classes of linear and nonlinear two point boundary-value problems.

A basic model in population age structure is studied and then applied and extended to several population phenomena.

Presents a theory of indexing capable of ranking index terms, or subject identifiers in decreasing order of importance. This leads to the choice of good document representations, and also accounts for the role of phrases and of thesaurus classes in the indexing process.

Presents a coherent body of theory for the derivation of the sampling distributions of a wide range of test statistics.

Solutions of the wave equation or Maxwell's equations in boundary value and free space problems are analyzed. Hyperbolic systems in domains going off to infinity are studied. New results on Maxwell's equations and nonstar shaped reflecting bodies are included.

This book attempts to provide the reader with a practical understanding and appreciation of the field of graph algorithms.

Peovides an introduction into the more theoretical aspects of the use of spline models. This book develops a theory and practice for the estimation of functions from noisy data on functionals.
