This volume contains refereed state-of-the-art research articles and extensive surveys on the various aspects of interaction of complex variables and scientific computation as well as on related areas such as function theory and approximation theory.
The volume is devoted to the interaction of modern scientific computation and classical function theory. Many problems in pure and more applied function theory can be tackled using modern computing facilities: numerically as well as in the sense of computer algebra. On the other hand, computer algorithms are often based on complex function theory, and dedicated research on their theoretical foundations can lead to great enhancements in performance. The contributions - original research articles, a survey and a collection of problems - cover a broad range of such problems.
The topics discussed at the conference revolved around the interaction of computational methods and theoretical function theory, as well as recent advances and developments in both fields. The talks ranged from analytic function theory to approximation theory to numerical conformal mapping and other computational methods.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Analytical and Computational Methods in Probability Theory and its Applications, ACMPT 2017, held in Moscow, Russia, in October 2017. The 42 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 173 submissions. The conference program consisted of four main themes associated with significant contributions made by A.D.Soloviev. These are: Analytical methods in probability theory, Computational methods in probability theory, Asymptotical methods in probability theory, the history of mathematics.
This is a collection of classic research papers on the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions. The book is the authoritative reference in the field of evidential reasoning and an important archival reference in a wide range of areas including uncertainty reasoning in artificial intelligence and decision making in economics, engineering, and management. The book includes a foreword reflecting the development of the theory in the last forty years.
This volume contains the papers presented at the Conference on Computational Methods in Band Theory sponsored jointly by IBM and the American Physical Society and held at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York, on May 14-15, 1970. The purpose of the conference was a sharing of information on the computational problems involved in relating models for the electron-electron and electron-ion interactions to experimentally measurable quantities. The papers comprising this volume therefore present up-to-date methodology for the calculation of single-particle energies and wave functions for periodic and near-periodic systems, the integration over these states required to describe experiment, and computationally practicable procedures for the introduction of exchange and correlation and the achievement of self-consistency. The proceedings is actually an expansion of the conference in that, unlike the oral presentations, the papers were not limited as to length. Furthermore, time was allowed after the conference to permit the papers to be written with the conference in retrospect, and five "prepared discussion" papers written by attendees of the conference but not on the original program are included. The latter are indicated in the table of contents by asterisks. The explicit emphasis of the conference on comparison of technique generated much lively argument, which is surely an indi cation of the current interest in the subject and the vigor of those working in it. It is our hope that the proceedings will make these comparisons available to the widest possible audience.
