Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume is dedicated to our teacher and friend Hans Triebel. The core of the book is based on lectures given at the International Conference 'Function Spaces, Differential Operators and Nonlinear Analysis' (FSDONA--01) held in Teistungen, Thuringia / Germany, from June 28 to July 4,2001, in honour of his 65th birthday. This was the fifth in a series of meetings organised under the same name by scientists from Finland (Helsinki, Oulu) , the Czech Republic (Prague, Plzen) and Germany (Jena) promoting the collaboration of specialists in East and West, working in these fields. This conference was a very special event because it celebrated Hans Triebel's extraordinary impact on mathematical analysis. The development of the mod ern theory of function spaces in the last 30 years and its application to various branches in both pure and applied mathematics is deeply influenced by his lasting contributions. In a series of books Hans Triebel has given systematic treatments of the theory of function spaces from different points of view, thus revealing its interdependence with interpolation theory, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, nonlinear operators, entropy, spectral theory and, most recently, anal ysis on fractals. The presented collection of papers is a tribute to Hans Triebel's distinguished work. The book is subdivided into three parts: ¿ Part I contains the two invited lectures by O.V. Besov (Moscow) and D.E. Edmunds (Sussex) having a survey character and honouring Hans Triebel's contributions.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 492 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is about discrete-time, time-homogeneous, Markov chains (Mes) and their ergodic behavior. To this end, most of the material is in fact about stable Mes, by which we mean Mes that admit an invariant probability measure. To state this more precisely and give an overview of the questions we shall be dealing with, we will first introduce some notation and terminology. Let (X,B) be a measurable space, and consider a X-valued Markov chain ~. = {~k' k = 0, 1, . } with transition probability function (t.pJ.) P(x, B), i.e., P(x, B) := Prob (~k+1 E B I ~k = x) for each x E X, B E B, and k = 0,1, . The Me ~. is said to be stable if there exists a probability measure (p.m.) /.l on B such that (\*) VB EB. /.l(B) = Ix /.l(dx) P(x, B) If (\*) holds then /.l is called an invariant p.m. for the Me ~. (or the t.p.f. P).Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Geophysicists use seismic signals to image structures in theEarth's interior, to understand the mechanics of earthquake and volcanicsources, and to estimate their associated hazards. Keiiti Aki developed pioneering quantitative methods for extracting useful information fromvarious portions of observed seismograms and applied these methods to manyproblems in the above fields.This volume honors Aki's contributions with review papers and results fromrecent applications by his former students and scientific associatespertaining to topics spawned by his work. Discussed subjects includeanalytical and numerical techniques for calculating dynamic rupture and radiated seismic waves, stochastic models used in engineering seismologyearthquake and volcanic source processes, seismic tomography, properties oflithospheric structures, analysis of scattered waves, and more. The volumewill be useful to students and professional geophysicists alike.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 376 pp. Englisch.
