At no other time in human history have the influence and impact of image processing on modern society, science, and technology been so explosive. Image processing has become a critical component in contemporary science and technology and has many important applications. This book develops the mathematical foundation of modern image processing and ......
Neural networks and fuzzy systems are model free control design approaches that represent an advantage over classical control when dealing with complicated nonlinear actuator dynamics. This book brings neural networks and fuzzy logic together with dynamical control systems. Each chapter presents powerful control approaches for the design of ......
Singular perturbations and time-scale techniques were introduced to control engineering in the late 1960s and have since become common tools for the modelling, analysis, and design of control systems. In this SIAM Classics edition of the 1986 book, the original text is reprinted in its entirety (along with a new preface), providing once again the ......
This monograph presents a unified mathematical framework for a wide range of problems in estimation control. The authors discuss the two most commonly used methodologies: the stochastic "H2" approach and the deterministic (worst-case) "H*" approach. Despite the fundamental differences in the philosophies of these two approaches, the authors have ......
In this translation of the German edition, the authors provide insight into the numerical simulation of fluid flow. Using a simple numerical method as an expository example, the individual steps of scientific computing are presented: The derivation of the mathematical model. The discretization of the model equations. The development of ......
Wavelets continue to be powerful mathematical tools for solving problems where the Fourier (spectral) method does not perform well or cannot be used. This text is for engineers, applied mathematicians and other scientists who want to learn about using wavelets to analyze, process and synthesize images and signals. Applications are described in ......
The scope of the discussion is limited to certain types of general purpose computing systems whose characteristics involve multiprogramming, multiprocessors, communication lines serving many users, and on-line terminal systems. The goal is to gain a better understanding of computing systems through the techniques of measurement and performance ......
Mathematical methods based on the theory of stochastic processes have long been used effectively in telephone traffic modelling. Modern network traffic, which is distinctly different from traditional voice traffic, generates challenging problems of a mathematical and statistical character. Stochastic Modelling in Broadband Communications Systems ......
Are you familiar with the IEEE floating point arithmetic standard? Would you like to understand it better? This book gives a broad overview of numerical computing, in a historical context, with special focus on the IEEE standard for binary floating point arithmetic. Key ideas are developed step by step, taking the reader from floating point ......
