Overview: Gives a beautiful elementary treatment of general Poisson point processes in Chapter 1, especially recommended for beginners.Shows how the notion of Poisson point processes with values in a function sAn extension problem (often called a boundary problem) of Markov processes has been studied, particularly in the case of one-dimensional diffusion processes, by W. Feller, K. Itô, and H. P. McKean, among others. In this book, Itô discussed a case of a general Markov process with state space S and a specified point a ∈ S called a boundary. The problem is to obtain all possible recurrent e

Overview: Long-awaited authoritative reference on this beautiful subject at the interface of geometry, number theory, coding theory and group theory.Complement to J.H. Conway and N.J.A. Sloane "Sphere Packings,.Lattices are discrete subgroups of maximal rank in a Euclidean space. To each such geometrical object, we can attach a canonical sphere packing which, assuming some regularity, has a density. The question of estimating the highest possible density of a sphere packing in a given dimension is a fascinating and difficult problem: the answer is known only up to dimension 3...This book thus

Overview: Discusses philosophical issues in epistemology, philosophy of history, feminist thought and political economy in relation to African American Studies..Asserts the centrality of the Black working class.In this ground-breaking book, Stephen C. Ferguson addresses a seminal question that is too-often ignored: What should be the philosophical basis for African American studies? The volume explores philosophical issues and problems in their relationship to Black studies.

Overview: Komplexe, bilateral personenbezogene Dienstleistungen sind nicht nur durch hohe Unsicherheit bei der Nachfrage geprägt, sondern insbesondere durch indeterminierte Leistungsprozesse. Qualität und Effizienz des Leistungssystems werden maßgeblich durch die Gestaltung der Prozessstrukturen sowie das Verhalten der Leistungsträger und der Kunden bestimmt. Bei der Dimensionierung und Harmonisierung der Kapazitäten ist somit zwingend die Organisation als sekundäre Kapazitätsdeterminante in die Planung einzubeziehen...Rainer Sibbel analysiert das betriebswirtschaftliche Kernproblem der Kapazi
