Mutational and Morphological Analysis: Tools for Shape by Jean-Pierre Aubin

By Jean-Pierre Aubin

The research, processing, evolution, optimization and/or law, and keep an eye on of shapes and pictures seem obviously in engineering (shape optimization, photograph processing, visible control), numerical research (interval analysis), physics (front propagation), organic morphogenesis, inhabitants dynamics (migrations), and dynamic fiscal theory.  


These difficulties are at present studied with instruments solid out of differential geometry and useful research, hence requiring shapes and photographs to be smooth.  although, shapes and pictures are essentially units, commonly no longer smooth.  J.-P. Aubin hence constructs one other imaginative and prescient, the place shapes and photographs are only any compact set.  for that reason their evolution -- which calls for one of those differential calculus -- needs to be studied within the metric house of compact subsets.  regardless of the lack of linearity, you can still move many of the simple result of differential calculus and differential equations in vector areas to mutational calculus and mutational equations in any mutational area, together with evidently the distance of nonempty compact subsets.  


"Mutational and Morphological research" bargains a constitution that embraces and integrates a number of the techniques, together with form optimization and mathematical morphology.  


Scientists and graduate scholars will locate right here different robust mathematical instruments for learning difficulties facing shapes and photographs coming up in such a lot of fields.

Generalized Concavity in Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Analysis (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science)

Convexity of units in linear areas, and concavity and convexity of services, lie on the root of gorgeous theoretical effects that are while tremendous helpful within the research and resolution of optimization difficulties, together with difficulties of both unmarried aim or a number of targets. no longer all of those effects count inevitably on convexity and concavity; a number of the effects can ensure that each one neighborhood optimal is usually a world optimal, giving those tools broader program to a much wider type of difficulties.

Motivic Integration and its Interactions with Model Theory and Non-Archimedean Geometry: Volume 2 (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)

The improvement of Maxim Kontsevich's preliminary rules on motivic integration has without notice encouraged many different parts of arithmetic, starting from the Langlands application over harmonic research, to non-Archimedean research, singularity idea and birational geometry. This publication assembles the various theories of motivic integration and their purposes for the 1st time, permitting readers to match various techniques and determine their person strengths.
