Overview: Angst ist ein Gefühlszustand wie Freude, Ärger oder Trauer und hat eine Signalfunktion wie Fieber oder Schmerz. Angst wird zur Krankheit, wenn sie über einen längeren Zeitraum das Leben so stark einengt, dass man darunter leidet. 9–10 % der Bevölkerung leiden unter einer behandlungsbedürftigen Angststörung. Sie stellen bei Frauen die häufigste, bei Männern die zweithäufigste psychische Störung dar. Der Autor beschreibt anschaulich die 11 Angststörungen nach dem psychiatrischen Diagnoseschema DSM-IV und geht auch auf ICD-10 ein. Das Buch bietet einen Überblick über Häufigkeit, Verlauf

Overview: The state space factorization method is systematically used and developed further for various classes of matrix and operator functions.Emphasis is put on canonical factorization problems, including spThe present book deals with canonical factorization problems for di?erent classes of matrix and operator functions. Such problems appear in various areas of ma- ematics and its applications. The functions we consider havein common that they appear in the state space form or can be represented in such a form. The main results are all expressed in terms of the matrices or operators appeari
