Overview: The quantum theory of magnetism is a well-developed part of contemporary solid-state physics. The basic concepts of this theory can be used to describe such important effects as ferromagnetic ordering oflocalized magnetic moments in crystals and ferromagnetism of metals produced by essentially delocalized electrons, as well as various types of mutual orientation of atomic magnetic moments in solids possessing different crystal lattices and compositions. In recent years,the spin-fluctuational approach has been developed, which can overcome some contradictions between "localized" and "

Overview: Dieses Lehrbuch führt in die Theorie der linearen dynamischen Mehrgrößensysteme ein. Das Verhalten dynamischer Systeme unter dem Einfluß von deterministischen und stochastischen Vektorsignalen wird im Zeit- und Frequenzbereich analysiert, wobei die Systeme auch im Zustandsraum beschrieben werden. Die klassischen Methoden des Reglerentwurfs im Frequenzbereich werden ebenso behandelt wie die Entwurfsmethoden für optimale Regler mit quadratischen Gütekriterien. Weiter stellt der Autor Beobachter zur suboptimalen und Kalman-Filter zur optimalen Auswertung verrauschter Meßsignale vor und

Overview: Erwerbsarbeit als Herausforderung für Gesellschaft, Politik und WissenschaftSpätestens seit dem Ende des Vollbeschäftigungstraums in den 1970er Jahren hat sich eine weitreichende Debatte um den Begriff und die Zukunft der Arbeit sowie um neue und alternative Arbeitsformen des Staates entwickelt, in der es nicht zuletzt auch um die Aufgaben des Staates und der Ökonomie sowie um den Umgang mit Arbeitslosigkeit geht. Die damit verbundenen Probleme sind indes noch lange nicht gelöst. Der herausragende Status von (Erwerbs-)Arbeit in den Arbeitsgesellschaften des 21. Jahrhunderts stellt vi
