  • Abelian Groups

    • 3rd Edition
    • Volume 12
    • L. Fuchs
    • J. P. Kahane + 2 more
    • English
    Abelian Groups deals with the theory of abelian or commutative groups, with special emphasis on results concerning structure problems. More than 500 exercises of varying degrees of difficulty, with and without hints, are included. Some of the exercises illuminate the theorems cited in the text by providing alternative developments, proofs or counterexamples of generalizations. Comprised of 16 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the basic facts on group theory such as factor group or homomorphism. The discussion then turns to direct sums of cyclic groups, divisible groups, and direct summands and pure subgroups, as well as Kulikov's basic subgroups. Subsequent chapters focus on the structure theory of the three main classes of abelian groups: the primary groups, the torsion-free groups, and the mixed groups. Applications of the theory are also considered, along with other topics such as homomorphism groups and endomorphism rings; the Schreier extension theory with a discussion of the group of extensions and the structure of the tensor product. In addition, the book examines the theory of the additive group of rings and the multiplicative group of fields, along with Baer's theory of the lattice of subgroups. This book is intended for young research workers and students who intend to familiarize themselves with abelian groups.

    International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 86, Some Topics in Complex Analysis deals with a variety of topics related to complex analysis. This book discusses the method of comparison, periods of an integral, generalized Joukowski transformations, and Koebe's distortion theorems. The deductions from the maximum-modulus principle, canonical products and genus of an I.F., and Weierstrass's primary factors are also reviewed. This text likewise considers Mittag-Leffler's theorem, summation of series by the calculus of residues, definition of regular functions by integrals, and Riemann zeta function.

  • Linear Representations of the Lorentz Group

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 63
    • M. A. Naimark
    • H. K. Farahat
    • English
    Linear Representations of the Lorentz Group is a systematic exposition of the theory of linear representations of the proper Lorentz group and the complete Lorentz group. This book consists of four chapters. The first two chapters deal with the basic material on the three-dimensional rotation group, on the complete Lorentz group and the proper Lorentz group, as well as the theory of representations of the three-dimensional rotation group. These chapters also provide the necessary basic information from the general theory of group representations. The third chapter is devoted to the representations of the proper Lorentz group and the complete Lorentz group, while the fourth chapter examines the theory of invariant equations. This book will prove useful to mathematicians and students.

  • Foundation of Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries according to F. Klein

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 97
    • L. Redei
    • I. N. Sneddon + 1 more
    • English
    Foundation of Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries according to F. Klein aims to remedy the deficiency in geometry so that the ideas of F. Klein obtain the place they merit in the literature of mathematics. This book discusses the axioms of betweenness, lattice of linear subspaces, generalization of the notion of space, and coplanar Desargues configurations. The central collineations of the plane, fundamental theorem of projective geometry, and lines perpendicular to a proper plane are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the axioms of motion, basic projective configurations, properties of triangles, and theorem of duality in projective space. Other topics include the point-coordinates in an affine space and consistency of the three geometries. This publication is beneficial to mathematicians and students learning geometry.

  • Huygens' Principle and Hyperbolic Equations

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 5
    • Gunther Paul
    • J. Coates + 1 more
    • English
    Huygens' Principle and Hyperbolic Equations is devoted to certain mathematical aspects of wave propagation in curved space-times. The book aims to present special nontrivial Huygens' operators and to describe their individual properties and to characterize these examples of Huygens' operators within certain more or less comprehensive classes of general hyperbolic operators. The materials covered in the book include a treatment of the wave equation for p-forms over a space of constant sectional curvature, the Riesz distributions, the Euler-Poisson-Darbou... over a Riemannian manifold, and plane wave manifolds. Physicists will find the book invaluable.

  • Non-Linear Differential Equations

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 67
    • G. Sansone + 1 more
    • I. N. Sneddon + 2 more
    • English
    Non-Linear Differential Equations covers the general theorems, principles, solutions, and applications of non-linear differential equations. This book is divided into nine chapters. The first chapters contain detailed analysis of the phase portrait of two-dimensional autonomous systems. The succeeding chapters deal with the qualitative methods for the discovery of periodic solutions in periodic systems. The remaining chapters describe a synthetical approach to the study of asymptotic properties, especially stability properties, of the solutions of general n-dimensional systems. This book will be of great value to mathematicians, researchers, and students.

This book covers the topics of functions, limits, derivatives, differential calculus, curves, definite integral, integral calculus, methods of evaluating definite integrals, and their applications. Other topics explored include numerical problems related to series and the functions of several variables in differential calculus, as well as their applications. The remaining chapters examine the principles of multiple, line, and surface integrals, the trigonometric series, and the elements of the theory of fields.

  • The Theory of Lebesgue Measure and Integration

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 15
    • S. Hartman + 1 more
    • I. N. Sneddon + 2 more
    • English
    The Theory of Lebesgue Measure and Integration deals with the theory of Lebesgue measure and integration and introduces the reader to the theory of real functions. The subject matter comprises concepts and theorems that are now considered classical, including the Yegorov, Vitali, and Fubini theorems. The Lebesgue measure of linear sets is discussed, along with measurable functions and the definite Lebesgue integral. Comprised of 13 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of basic concepts such as set theory, the denumerability and non-denumerability of sets, and open sets and closed sets on the real line. The discussion then turns to the theory of Lebesgue measure of linear sets based on the method of M. Riesz, together with the fundamental properties of measurable functions. The Lebesgue integral is considered for both bounded functions — upper and lower integrals — and unbounded functions. Later chapters cover such topics as the Yegorov, Vitali, and Fubini theorems; convergence in measure and equi-integrability; integration and differentiation; and absolutely continuous functions. Multiple integrals and the Stieltjes integral are also examined. This book will be of interest to mathematicians and students taking pure and applied mathematics.

  • Introduction to Calculus

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 17
    • Kazimierz Kuratowski
    • A. J. Lohwater
    • English
    The English edition does not differ essentially from the Polish one. Among the more important supplements I should mention § 6.5 containing elementary information on the notation of mathematical logic. To this supplement I was inclined by the experience of many years. For many students (not for all, perhaps) the notation of definitions of certain notions by means of the logical symbols makes it easier to understand these notions (e.g. the notions of uniform continuity or uniform convergence). Besides that, this supplement is included in the book in such a manner that it can be omitted in reading the whole book. Among other changes introduced in the English text, I should mention the addition of a number of exercises and problems; in the second English edition, many of them have been collected in the Supplement. I am glad also to mention the simplification of certain proofs, and finally the removal of mistakes which were found in the primary text
