An Accessible Development Without Calculus, Second Edition
Elementary Mathematical Models offers instructors an alternative to standard college algebra, quantitative literacy, and liberal arts mathematics courses. Presuming only a background of exposure to high school algebra, the text introduces students to the methodology of mathematical modeling, which plays a role in nearly all real applications of ......
Many smoothness spaces in harmonic analysis are decomposition spaces. In this paper we ask: Given two such spaces, is there an embedding between the two? A decomposition space D(Q, Lp, Y ) is determined by a covering Q = (Qi)i?I of the frequency domain, an integrability exponent p, and a sequence space Y ? CI . Given these ingredients, the ......
This monograph resolves--in a dense class of cases--several open problems concerning geodesics in i.i.d. first-passage percolation on Zd. Our primary interest is in the empirical measures of edge-weights observed along geodesics from 0 to n?, where ? is a fixed unit vector. For various dense families of edge-weight distributions, we prove that ......
The Memoirs of the AMS is devoted to the publication of new research in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. The Memoirs is designed particularly to publish long papers of groups of cognate papers in book form, and is under the supervision of the Editorial Committee of the AMS journal Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. All ......
Ergodic theory is concerned with the measure-theoretic or statistical properties of a dynamical system. This book provides a conversational introduction to the topic, guiding the reader from the classical questions of measure theory to modern results such as the polynomial recurrence theorem. Applications to number theory and combinatorics enhance ......
The Markov chain ergodic theorem is well-understood if either the time-line or the state space is discrete. However, there does not exist a very clear result for general state space continuous-time Markov processes. Using methods from mathematical logic and nonstandard analysis, we introduce a class of hyperfinite Markov processes-namely, general ......
The goal of this book is to explain, at the graduate student level, connections between tropical geometry and optimization. Building bridges between these two subject areas is fruitful in two ways. Through tropical geometry optimization algorithms become applicable to questions in algebraic geometry. Conversely, looking at topics in optimization ......
