  • Discrete Cosine Transform

    Algorithms, Advantages, Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • K. Ramamohan Rao + 1 more
    • English
    This is the first comprehensive treatment of the theoretical aspects of the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is being recommended by various standards organizations, such as the CCITT, ISO etc., as the primary compression tool in digital image coding. The main purpose of the book is to provide a complete source for the user of this signal processing tool, where both the basics and the applications are detailed. An extensive bibliography covers both the theory and applications of the DCT. The novice will find the book useful in its self-contained treatment of the theory of the DCT, the detailed description of various algorithms supported by computer programs and the range of possible applications, including codecs used for teleconferencing, videophone, progressive image transmission, and broadcast TV. The more advanced user will appreciate the extensive references. Tables describing ASIC VLSI chips for implementing DCT, and motion estimation and details on image compression boards are also provided.

  • Matrix Perturbation Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • G. W. Stewart + 1 more
    • English
    This book is a comprehensive survey of matrix perturbation theory, a topic of interest to numerical analysts, statisticians, physical scientists, and engineers. In particular, the authors cover perturbation theory of linear systems and least square problems, the eignevalue problem, and the generalized eignevalue problem as wellas a complete treatment of vector and matrix norms, including the theory of unitary invariant norms.

  • Model Theory

    • 3rd Edition
    • Volume 73
    • C.C. Chang + 1 more
    • English
    Since the second edition of this book (1977), Model Theory has changed radically, and is now concerned with fields such as classification (or stability) theory, nonstandard analysis, model-theoretic algebra, recursive model theory, abstract model theory, and model theories for a host of nonfirst order logics. Model theoretic methods have also had a major impact on set theory, recursion theory, and proof theory.This new edition has been updated to take account of these changes, while preserving its usefulness as a first textbook in model theory. Whole new sections have been added, as well as new exercises and references. A number of updates, improvements and corrections have been made to the main text.

  • Principles of Real Analysis

    • 2nd Edition
    • Charalambos D. Aliprantis + 1 more
    • English
    This major textbook on real analysis is now available in a corrected and slightly amended reprint. It covers the basic theory of integration in a clear, well-organized manner using an imaginative and highly practical synthesis of the 'Daniell method' and the measure-theoretic approach. It is the ideal text for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in real analysis, assuming student familiarity with advanced calculus and basic algebraic concepts.

  • Eulerian Graphs and Related Topics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1
    • English

  • Almost Free Modules

    Set-Theoretic Methods
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 46
    • P.C. Eklof + 1 more
    • English
    This is an extended treatment of the set-theoretic techniques which have transformed the study of abelian group and module theory over the last 15 years. Part of the book is new work which does not appear elsewhere in any form. In addition, a large body of material which has appeared previously (in scattered and sometimes inaccessible journal articles) has been extensively reworked and in many cases given new and improved proofs. The set theory required is carefully developed with algebraists in mind, and the independence results are derived from explicitly stated axioms. The book contains exercises and a guide to the literature and is suitable for use in graduate courses or seminars, as well as being of interest to researchers in algebra and logic.

  • Uniform Fréchet Algebras

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 162
    • H. Goldmann
    • English
    The first part of this monograph is an elementary introduction to the theory of Fréchet algebras. Important examples of Fréchet algebras, which are among those considered, are the algebra of all holomorphic functions on a (hemicompact) reduced complex space, and the algebra of all continuous functions on a suitable topological space.The problem of finding analytic structure in the spectrum of a Fréchet algebra is the subject of the second part of the book. In particular, the author pays attention to function algebraic characterizations of certain Stein algebras (= algebras of holomorphic functions on Stein spaces) within the class of Fréchet algebras.

  • Spinors and Calibrations

    • 1st Edition
    • F. Reese Harvey
    • English
    Progress in mathematics is based on a thorough understanding of the mathematical objects under consideration, and yet many textbooks and monographs proceed to discuss general statements and assume that the reader can and will provide the mathematical infrastructure of examples and counterexamples. This book makes a deliberate effort to correct this situation: it is a collection of examples. The following table of contents describes its breadth and reveals the underlying motivation--differen... geometry--in its many facets: Riemannian, symplectic, K*adahler, hyperK*adahler, as well as complex and quaternionic.

  • Unitary Representations and Harmonic Analysis

    An Introduction
    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 44
    • M. Sugiura
    • English
    The principal aim of this book is to give an introduction to harmonic analysis and the theory of unitary representations of Lie groups. The second edition has been brought up to date with a number of textual changes in each of the five chapters, a new appendix on Fatou's theorem has been added in connection with the limits of discrete series, and the bibliography has been tripled in length.

  • Induced Modules over Group Algebras

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 161
    • G. Karpilovsky
    • English
    In 1898 Frobenius discovered a construction which, in present terminology, associates with every module of a subgroup the induced module of a group. This construction proved to be of fundamental importance and is one of the basic tools in the entire theory of group representations.This monograph is designed for research mathematicians and advanced graduate students and gives a picture of the general theory of induced modules as it exists at present. Much of the material has until now been available only in research articles. The approach is not intended to be encyclopedic, rather each topic is considered in sufficient depth that the reader may obtain a clear idea of the major results in the area.After establishing algebraic preliminaries, the general facts about induced modules are provided, as well as some of their formal properties, annihilators and applications. The remaining chapters include detailed information on the process of induction from normal subgroups, projective summands of induced modules, some basic results of the Green theory with refinements and extensions, simple induction and restriction pairs and permutation modules. The final chapter is based exclusively on the work of Weiss, presenting a number of applications to the isomorphism problem for group rings.
