Overview: In 1960 the Polish mathematician Zdzidlaw Opial (1930--1974)published an inequality involving integrals of a function and itsderivative. This volume offers a systematic and up-to-date account ofdevelopments in Opial-type inequalities. The book presents a completesurvey of results in the field, starting with Opial‘s landmark paper,traversing through its generalizations, extensions anddiscretizations. Some of the important applications of theseinequalities in the theory of differential and difference equations,such as uniqueness of solutions of boundary value problems, and upperbounds

Overview: Fills a gap by presenting an exploration of running that is both scholarly and rigorous while at the same time personal, reflective, and accessible.Makes a substantial original contribution to the antHow does the simple act of running make us human? As a form of enskilled movement that shapes how we perceive our surroundings, running enacts a mindful bodily engagement with the world, an engagement that generates our very minds through perceptual learning. Thomas F. Carter examines the interrelated aspects of a runner’s being—mind, body, and environs—to illustrate that the skillful ac

Overview: The aim of this book is to present the mathematical theory and the know-how to make computer programs for the numerical approximation of Optimal Control of PDE‘s. The computer programs are presented in a straightforward generic language. As a consequence they are well structured, clearly explained and can be translated easily into any high level programming language. Applications and corresponding numerical tests are also given and discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first book to put together mathematics and computer programs for Optimal Control in order to bridge the gap betwe

The main aim of the study is to advance knowledge about criminal careers up to age 56. . .At the time of these most recent findings, forty-two percent of the males were convicted, with an average ten-year conviction career. Only seven percent of the males accounted for

The authors discuss suitable linear, convex, and nonlinear optimiza

Overview: This volume contains the contributions of participants of the conference "Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations" which, under the chairmanship of the editors, took place at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach from May 18 to May 24, 1986. The great variety of topics covered by the contributions strongly indicates that also in the future it will be impossible to develop a unifying control theory of partial differential equations. On the other hand, there is a strong tendency to treat prob­ lems which are directly connected to practical applications. So this vo

Overview: In this newest edition of Optics and Lasers, I have added a substantial number of problems and moved most of the older ones to the end of the book. There are now about one hundred problems, which, I hope, will make the book more useful in the classroom. As before, some of the problems derive an espe­ cially important or useful result; these I have left integrated within the body of the book. In such cases, I state the result and, often, give it an equation number and a citation in the index. Teachers who adopt the book may obtain solutions to the problems by asking me for them on let
