"Did you know desire's a terrible thing It makes the world go blind But if desire, desire's a terrible thing You know that I really don't mind". Danny didn't particularly have The Sundays 'Can't Be Sure' in mind when he was thinking up the soundtrack to his Australian trip. It was about as quaint and English as you could get. Yet his sun-kissed playlist faded into the background after his chance encounter with a desired record. From then on in Harriet Wheeler's vocals ran round his head with increasing regularity as he tried to fend off all manner of petty thieves, corrupt bank managers and disgruntled ex members of the group that made the record in his attempts to hold on to his holy grail. And with a DJ and journalist as his only allies, the odds were stacked against him. As they careered through Sydney and its suburbs and the casualties piled up his seemingly mundane life took on an excitement he could never have expected.
This revised and extended edition of a well-established monograph in function theory contains a study on various function classes on the disc, a number of new results and new or easy proofs of old but interesting theorems (for example, the Fefferman-Stein theorem on subharmonic behavior or the theorem on conjugate functions in Bergman spaces) and a full discussion on g-functions.
This volume presents a selection of expository papers on various topics in engineering mathematics. The papers concern model problems relating to, amongst others, the automobile and shipping industries, transportation networks and wave propagation. Among the methods treated are numerical methods, such as the finite element method and Newton's method, Karmarkar's interior point method and generalizations, and recurrence and induction in computer science. This volume will be of great interest to applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in recent developments in engineering mathematics. The papers are written with an emphasis on exposition and should be accessible to all members of scientific community interested in modeling and solving real-life problems.
