Download or read book Analytic and Probabilistic Approaches to Dynamics in Negative Curvature written by Françoise Dal'Bo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work consists of two introductory courses, developing different points of view on the study of the asymptotic behaviour of the geodesic flow, namely: the probabilistic approach via martingales and mixing (by Stéphane Le Borgne); the semi-classical approach, by operator theory and resonances (by Frédéric Faure and Masato Tsujii). The contributions aim to give a self-contained introduction to the ideas behind the three different approaches to the investigation of hyperbolic dynamics. The first contribution focus on the convergence towards a Gaussian law of suitably normalized ergodic sums (Central Limit Theorem). The second one deals with Transfer Operators and the structure of their spectrum (Ruelle-Pollicott resonances), explaining the relation with the asymptotics of time correlation function and the periodic orbits of the dynamics.

Download or read book Symplectic Topology and Measure Preserving Dynamical Systems written by Albert Fathi and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2010-04-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume were presented at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Symplectic Topology and Measure Preserving Dynamical Systems held in Snowbird, Utah in July 2007. The aim of the conference was to bring together specialists of symplectic topology and of measure preserving dynamics to try to connect these two subjects. One of the motivating conjectures at the interface of these two fields is the question of whether the group of area preserving homeomorphisms of the 2-disc is or is not simple. For diffeomorphisms it was known that the kernel of the Calabi invariant is a normal proper subgroup, so the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms is not simple. Most articles are related to understanding these and related questions in the framework of modern symplectic topology.

Download or read book Functional Analysis and Complex Analysis written by Aydin Aytuna and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the interplay between the methods of functional analysis and complex analysis has led to some remarkable results in a wide variety of topics. It turned out that the structure of spaces of holomorphic functions is fundamentally linked to certain invariants initially defined on abstract Frechet spaces as well as to the developments in pluripotential theory. The aim of this volume is to document some of the original contributions to this topic presented at a conference held at Sabanci University in Istanbul, in September 2007. This volume also contains some surveys that give an overview of the state of the art and initiate further research in the interplay between functional and complex analysis.
Download or read book Probabilistic Structural Dynamics written by Yu-Kweng Lin and published by McGraw-Hill College. This book was released on 1995 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers readers a balanced exposition of both the mathematical theory of stochastic processes and the principle of structural mechanics. It begins with a comprehensive discussion of linear structures under additive random excitations, within the frameworks of spectral analysis, evolutionary spectral analysis, and the theory of random pulse train. This is then followed by a thorough treatment of Markov processes, including the justification of the Markov idealization from a physical point of view, and the solution techniques when applied to model a nonlinear dynamical system under additive random excitations, multiplicative random excitations, or both. Approximately on-half of the book deals with such advanced topics as motion stability of dynamical systems due to multiplicative excitations, failures due to the excursion of the system response into unsafe regions, and random uncertainties of system parameters and initial conditions. The authors have taken special care to keep the development of mathematical principles challenging, and yet comprehensive to any reader with a sound background in mechanics. The inclusion of many examples in earthquake and wind engineering also makes the book a desirable reference for interested researchers in these areas.

Download or read book Computational Group Theory and the Theory of Groups written by Luise-Charlotte Kappe and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The power of general purpose computational algebra systems running on personal computers has increased rapidly in recent years. For mathematicians doing research in group theory, this means a growing set of sophisticated computational tools are now available for their use in developing new theoretical results." "This volume consists of contributions by researchers invited to the AMS Special Session on Computational Group Theory held in March 2007. The main focus of the session was on the application of Computational Group Theory (CGT) to a wide range of theoretical aspects of group theory. The articles in this volume provide a variety of examples of how these computer systems helped to solve interesting theoretical problems within the discipline, such as constructions of finite simple groups, classification of $p$-groups via coclass, representation theory and constructions involving free nilpotent groups. The volume also includes an article by R. F. Morse highlighting applications of CGT in group theory and two survey articles." "Graduate students and researchers interested in various aspects of group theory will find many examples of Computational Group Theory helping research and will recognize it as yet another tool at their disposal."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Quantum Probability Logic written by Meir Hemmo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a broad perspective on the state of the art in the philosophy and conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. Its essays take their starting point in the work and influence of Itamar Pitowsky, who has greatly influenced our understanding of what is characteristically non-classical about quantum probabilities and quantum logic, and this serves as a vantage point from which they reflect on key ongoing debates in the field. Readers will find a definitive and multi-faceted description of the major open questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics today, including: Is quantum mechanics a new theory of (contextual) probability? Should the quantum state be interpreted objectively or subjectively? How should probability be understood in the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics? What are the limits of the physical implementation of computation? The impact of this volume goes beyond the exposition of Pitowsky’s influence: it provides a unique collection of essays by leading thinkers containing profound reflections on the field. Chapter 1.
