Category theory is a general mathematical theory of structures and of structures of structures. It occupied a central position in contemporary mathematics as well as computer science. This book...

The techniques presented here are useful for solving mathematical contest problems in algebra and analysis. Most of the examples and exercises that appear in the book originate from mathematical...

The articles in this volume study various cohomological aspects of algebraic varieties: - characteristic classes of singular varieties;- geometry of flag varieties;- cohomological computations for...

Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic. With surprising frequency, problems in a wide variety of disciplines, including differential...

One of the key concerns in modern control theory is the design of steering strategies. The implementation of such strategies is done by a regulator. Presented here is a self-contained introduction to...

In this volume three important papers of M.G. Krein appear for the first time in English translation. Each of them is a short self-contained monograph, each a masterpiece of exposition. Although two...

Disordered systems are statistical mechanics models in random environments. This lecture notes volume concerns the equilibrium properties of a few carefully chosen examples of disordered Ising models...

This collection of articles serves to commemorate the legacy of Joseph D'Atri, who passed away on April 29, 1993, a few days after his 55th birthday. Joe D' Atri is credited with several fundamental...

These notes are based on lectures given at the University of Virginia over the past twenty years. They may be viewed as a course in function theory for nonspecialists. Chapters 1-6 give the...

Vladimir Petrovich Potapov, as remembered by colleagues, friends and former students.- On a minimum problem in function theory and the number of roots of an algebraic equation inside the unit disc.-...

One of the basic interpolation problems from our point of view is the problem of building a scalar rational function if its poles and zeros with their multiplicities are given. If one assurnes that...

The text presented here is an extended english version of a report by the authors which appeared in April 1983 at the Institute of Cosmical Research of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in German...

Topological K-theory is one of the most important invariants for noncommutative algebras. Bott periodicity, homotopy invariance, and various long exact sequences distinguish it from algebraic...

As the interaction of mathematics and theoretical physics continues to intensify, the theories developed in mathematics are being applied to physics, and conversely. This book centers around the...

In recent years, there has been increasing interest and activity in the area of group actions on affine and projective algebraic varieties. Tech- niques from various branches of mathematics have been...

The main purpose of the present volume is to give a survey of some of the most significant achievements obtained by topological methods in nonlin- ear analysis during the last three decades. It is...

Topological tools in Nonlinear Analysis had a tremendous develop- ment during the last few decades. The three main streams of research in this field, Topological Degree, Singularity Theory and...
