Multiparameter Bifurcation Theory
Author: Martin Golubitsky
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821850601
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
This 1985 AMS Summer Research Conference brought together mathematicians interested in multiparameter bifurcation with scientists working on fluid instabilities and chemical reactor dynamics. This proceedings volume demonstrates the mutually beneficial interactions between the mathematical analysis, based on genericity, and experimental studies in these fields. Various papers study steady state bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation to periodic solutions, interactions between modes, dynamic bifurcations, and the role of symmetries in such systems. A section of abstracts at the end of the volume provides guides and pointers to the literature. The mathematical study of multiparameter bifurcation leads to a number of theoretical and practical difficulties, many of which are discussed in these papers. The articles also describe theoretical and experimental studies of chemical reactors, which provide many situations in which to test the mathematical ideas. Other test areas are found in fluid dynamics, particularly in studying the routes to chaos in two laboratory systems, Taylor-Couette flow between rotating cylinders and Rayleigh-Benard convection in a fluid layer.

Every Planar Map is Four Colorable
Author: Kenneth I. Appel
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821851039
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 760
Book Description
In this volume, the authors present their 1972 proof of the celebrated Four Color Theorem in a detailed but self-contained exposition accessible to a general mathematical audience. An emended version of the authors' proof of the theorem, the book contains the full text of the supplements and checklists, which originally appeared on microfiche. The thiry-page introduction, intended for nonspecialists, provides some historical background of the theorem and details of the authors' proof. In addition, the authors have added an appendix which treats in much greater detail the argument for situations in which reducible configurations are immersed rather than embedded in triangulations. This result leads to a proof that four coloring can be accomplished in polynomial time.

Probability Theory and Its Applications in China
Author: Shijian Yan
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821851268
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Probability theory has always been an active field of research in China, but, until recently, almost all of this research was written in Chinese. This book contains surveys by some of China's leading probabilists, with a fairly complete coverage of theoretical probability and selective coverage of applied topics. The purpose of the book is to provide an account of the most significant results in probability obtained in China in the past few decades and to promote communication between probabilists in China and those in other countries. This collection will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematics and probability theory, as well as to researchers in such areas as physics, engineering, biochemistry, and information science. Among the topics covered here are: stochastic analysis, stochastic differential equations, Dirichlet forms, Brownian motion and diffusion, potential theory, geometry of manifolds, semi-martingales, jump Markov processes, interacting particle systems, entropy production of Markov processes, renewal sequences and p-functions, multi-parameter stochastic processes, stationary random fields, limit theorems, strong approximations, large deviations, stochastic control systems, and probability problems in information theory.

Infinite Algebraic Extensions of Finite Fields
Author: Joel V. Brawley
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821851012
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Over the last several decades there has been a renewed interest in finite field theory, partly as a result of important applications in a number of diverse areas such as electronic communications, coding theory, combinatorics, designs, finite geometries, cryptography, and other portions of discrete mathematics. In addition, a number of recent books have been devoted to the subject. Despite the resurgence in interest, it is not widely known that many results concerning finite fields have natural generalizations to abritrary algebraic extensions of finite fields. The purpose of this book is to describe these generalizations. After an introductory chapter surveying pertinent results about finite fields, the book describes the lattice structure of fields between the finite field $GF(q)$ and its algebraic closure $\Gamma (q)$. The authors introduce a notion, due to Steinitz, of an extended positive integer $N$ which includes each ordinary positive integer $n$ as a special case. With the aid of these Steinitz numbers, the algebraic extensions of $GF(q)$ are represented by symbols of the form $GF(q^N)$. When $N$ is an ordinary integer $n$, this notation agrees with the usual notation $GF(q^n)$ for a dimension $n$ extension of $GF(q)$. The authors then show that many of the finite field results concerning $GF(q^n)$ are also true for $GF(q^N)$. One chapter is devoted to giving explicit algorithms for computing in several of the infinite fields $GF(q^N)$ using the notion of an explicit basis for $GF(q^N)$ over $GF(q)$. Another chapter considers polynomials and polynomial-like functions on $GF(q^N)$ and contains a description of several classes of permutation polynomials, including the $q$-polynomials and the Dickson polynomials. Also included is a brief chapter describing two of many potential applications. Aimed at the level of a beginning graduate student or advanced undergraduate, this book could serve well as a supplementary text for a course in finite field theory.
