Markov Decision Processes with Applications to Finance (Book)

Nicole Bäuerle (Author), Ulrich Rieder (Author)

The theory of Markov Decision Processes focuses on controlled Markov chains in discrete time. The authors establish the theory for general state and action spaces and at the same time show its application by means of numerous examples, mostly taken from the fields of [...]

Complex Analysis. Pt.2 (Book)

Eberhard Freitag (Author)

The idea of this book is to give an extensive description of the classical complex analysis, here ''classical'' means roughly that sheaf theoretical and cohomological methods are omitted. Numerous exercises including hints for solutions and many figures make this an [...]

Stochastic Finance (Book)

Hans Föllmer (Author), Alexander Schied (Author)

This is the third, revised and extended edition of the classical introduction to the mathematics of finance, based on stochastic models in discrete time. In the first part of the book simple one-period models are studied, in the second part the idea of dynamic hedging of [...]

Semilinear Elliptic Equations for Beginners (Book)

Marino Badiale (Author), Enrico Serra (Author)

Semilinear elliptic equations are of fundamental importance for the study of geometry, physics, mechanics, engineering and life sciences. The variational approach to these equations has experienced spectacular success in recent years, reaching a high level of complexity and [...]

Nexus Network Journal 11,2 (Book)

Kim Williams (Editor)

The title of this issue of the Nexus Network Journal, "Architecture, Mathematics and Structure," is deliberately ambiguous. At first glance, it might seem to indicate the relationship between what buildings look like and how they stand up. This is indeed one aspect of what [...]

Nexus Network Journal 11,1 (Book)

Kim Williams (Editor)

In celebration of the 2009 International Year of Astronomy, this issue of the Nexus Network Journal is devoted to relationships between astronomy, mathematics and architecture. Ancient cultures looked to the heavens in order to identify timeless principles for their own [...]

Modular Representation Theory of finite Groups (Book)

Peter Schneider (Author)

Representation theory studies maps from groups into the general linear group of a finite-dimensional vector space. For finite groups the theory comes in two distinct flavours. In the 'semisimple case' (for example over the field of complex numbers) one can use character [...]

Singularities and Groups in Bifurcation Theory (Book)

Stewart Ann (Author), Martin Golubitsky (Author), David G. Schaeffer (Author), Ian Stewart (Author)

Bifurcation theory studies how the structure of solutions to equations changes as parameters are varied. The nature of these changes depends both on the number of parameters and on the symmetries of the equations. Volume I discusses how singularity-theoretic techniques aid [...]

Synthetic Datasets for Statistical Disclosure Control (Book)

Jörg Drechsler (Author)

The aim of this book is to give the reader a detailed introduction to the different approaches to generating multiply imputed synthetic datasets. It describes all approaches that have been developed so far, provides a brief history of synthetic datasets, and gives useful [...]

Supersymmetry in Mathematics and Physics (Book)

Sergio Ferrara (Editor), Rita Fioresi (Editor), V. S. Varadarajan (Editor), V.S. Varadarajan (Editor)

Supersymmetry was created by the physicists in the 1970's to give a unified treatment of fermions and bosons, the basic constituents of matter. Since then its mathematical structure has been recognized as that of a new development in geometry, and mathematicians have busied [...]

Pseudo-periodic Maps and Degeneration of Riemann Surfaces (Book)

Yukio Matsumoto (Author), Jose M. Montesinos-Amilibia (Author), Jose María Montesinos-Amilibia (Author), José María Montesinos-Amilibia (Author)

The first part of the book studies pseudo-periodic maps of a closed surface of genus greater than or equal to two. This class of homeomorphisms was originally introduced by J. Nielsen in 1944 as an extension of periodic maps. In this book, the conjugacy classes of the [...]

The Kepler Conjecture (Book)

Samuel P. Ferguson (Author), Thomas C. Hales (Author), Jeffrey C. Lagarias (Editor)

The Kepler conjecture, one of geometry's oldest unsolved problems, was formulated in 1611 by Johannes Kepler and mentioned by Hilbert in his famous 1900 problem list. The Kepler conjecture states that the densest packing of three-dimensional Euclidean space by equal spheres [...]
