This volume aims to describe the state of the art in specific application areas, such as estimation of eigenquantities. The lecture notes contain demonstrations of several methods and include a valuation by combining various kinds of experience.

Discoveries of chaotic, unpredictable behaviour in physical deterministic systems has brought about new analytic and experimental techniques in dynamics.

This volume aims at giving an updated account of the most relevant issues in the area of Flexible Manufacturing Systems with special emphasis to the problems of Simulation, Modelling, Planning, Scheduling, Economical Evaluation. Arbib, Lucertini, Nicolo: Optimization models for FMS; Buzacott: Flexible models of FMS, and Modelling FMS;

Traditional FEM and the more recent BEM underlie many engineering computational methods and corresponding software.

The concept of time and frequency representation of signals dates back to the first notation for music. From a mathematical viewpoint we can associate the time function to its Fourier transform. This book introduces a useful representation of signals simultaneously in time and frequency.

The book is divided into two sections, "Geometries and Codes" and "Geometries and Cryptography". The first part covers such topics as Galois geometries, Steiner systems, Circle geometry and applications to algebraic coding theory.
