Book Description
The volume includes twenty-five research papers presented as gifts to John L. Bell to celebrate his 60th birthday by colleagues, former students, friends and admirers. Like Bell’s own work, the contributions cross boundaries into several inter-related fields. The contributions are new work by highly respected figures, several of whom are among the key figures in their fields. Some examples: in foundations of maths and logic (William Lawvere, Peter Aczel, Graham Priest, Giovanni Sambin); analytical philosophy (Michael Dummett, William Demopoulos), philosophy of science (Michael Redhead, Frank Arntzenius), philosophy of mathematics (Michael Hallett, John Mayberry, Daniel Isaacson) and decision theory and foundations of economics (Ken Bimore). Most articles are contributions to current philosophical debates, but contributions also include some new mathematical results, important historical surveys, and a translation by Wilfrid Hodges of a key work of arabic logic.

Singularity Theory and Some Problems of Functional Analysis
Author: Semen Grigorʹevich Gindikin
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821875025
Category : Singularities (Mathematics).
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The emergence of singularity theory marks the return of mathematics to the study of the simplest analytical objects: functions, graphs, curves, surfaces. The modern singularity theory for smooth mappings, which is currently undergoing intensive developments, can be thought of as a crossroad where the most abstract topics (such as algebraic and differential geometry and topology, complex analysis, invariant theory, and Lie group theory) meet the most applied topics (such as dynamical systems, mathematical physics, geometrical optics, mathematical economics, and control theory). The papers in this volume include reviews of established areas as well as presentations of recent results in singularity theory. The authors have paid special attention to examples and discussion of results rather than burying the ideas in formalism, notation, and technical details. The aim is to introduce all mathematicians - as well as physicists, engineers, and other consumers of singularity theory - to the world of ideas and methods in this burgeoning area.

Nonlinear Evolution Equations
Author: Nina Nikolaevna Uraltseva
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821895955
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This collection focuses on nonlinear problems in partial differential equations. Most of the papers are based on lectures presented at the seminar on partial differential equations and mathematical physics at St. Petersburg University. Among the topics explored are the existence and properties of solutions of various classes of nonlinear evolution equations, nonlinear imbedding theorems, bifurcations of solutions, and equations of mathematical physics (Navier-Stokes type equations and the nonlinear Schrodinger equation). The book will be useful to researchers and graduate students working in partial differential equations and mathematical physics.

Selected topics in discrete mathematics: Proceedings of the Moscow Discrete Mathematics Seminar, 1972-1990
Author: Alexander K. Kelmans
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821895924
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This is a collection of translations of a variety of papers on discrete mathematics by members of the Moscow Seminar on Discrete Mathematics. This seminar, begun in 1972, was marked by active participation and intellectual ferment. Mathematicians in the USSR often encountered difficulties in publishing, so many interesting results in discrete mathematics remained unknown in the West for some years, and some are unknown even to the present day. To help fill this communication gap, this collection offers papers that were obscurely published and very hard to find. Among the topics covered here are: graph theory, network flow and multicommodity flow, linear programming and combinatorial optimization, matroid theory and submodular systems, matrix theory and combinatorics, parallel computing, complexity of algorithms, random graphs and statistical mechanics, coding theory, and algebraic combinatorics and group theory.

ISBN: 9780821804544
Category : Lie albegras
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
In celebration of E.B. Dynkin's 70th birthday, this book presents current papers by those who participated in Dynkin's seminar on Lie groups and Lie algebras in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Dynkin had a major influence not only on mathematics, but also on the students who attended his seminar-many of whom are today's leading mathematicians in Russia and in the U.S. Dynkin's contributions to the theory of Lie groups is well known, and the survey paper by Karpelevich, Onishchik, and Vinberg allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of this work.

Applied Problems of Radon Transform
Author: Semen Grigorʹevich Gindikin
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821875087
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This collection is designed to acquaint readers with advances in Radon transforms carried out in the former Soviet Union. The papers focus on mathematical problems related to applications of Radon transforms. Some of the problems arose from practical tomography, while others are theoretical problems originating in tomography. The book should be of use to mathematicians working in integral geometry and mathematical problems of tomography, as well as scientists who work on inverse problems and their computer realization.

Ordered Sets and Lattices II
Author:
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821895887
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
This indispensable reference source contains a wealth of information on lattice theory. The book presents a survey of virtually everything published in the fields of partially ordered sets, semilattices, lattices, and Boolean algebras that was reviewed in Referativnyi Zhurnal Matematika from mid-1982 to the end of 1985. A continuation of a previous volume (the English translation of which was published by the AMS in 1989, as volume 141 in Translations - Series 2), this comprehensive work contains more than 2200 references. Many of the papers covered here were originally published in virtually inaccessible places. The compilation of the volume was directed by Milan Kolibiar of Comenius University at Bratislava and Lev A. Skornyakov of Moscow University. Of interest to mathematicians, as well as to philosophers and computer scientists in certain areas, this unique compendium is a must for any mathematical library.
