Only some fun- mental parts of naive set theory are presupposed, - not more than is treated in a textbook on set theory, even if this restricts us only to the most basic facts of this field. We have summarized all of this in Chapter 0 without longer discusssions and explanations, because there are s- eral textbooks which can be consulted by the reader, e.g. HrbacekIJech [88], KneeboneIRotman [99], ShenIVereshchagin [159]. Besides this only elementary facts of analysis are used. The theory of ordered sets can be divided into two parts, depending on whether the sets under consideration are finite or infinite. The first part is grounded mainly in combinatorics and graph theory and does not make essential use of set-theorical concepts, whereas the second part presupposes a knowledge of the fundamental notions of set theory, in particular of the system of ordinal and cardinal numbers. In this book we mainly deal with general infinite ordered sets. In this field the textbook literature is still very small. Therefore this book supplements the existing literature. ![]() Free Download Orchid Species from Himalaya and Southeast Asia Vol. 1 (A - E) by Eng Soon Teoh English | PDF (True) | 2021 | 517 Pages | ISBN : 3030588718 | 122.7 MB A presentation of 491 popular orchid species with 13 varieties and 3 natural hybrids in 51 genera with names beginning with A to E carefully detailed with beautiful photographs and concise descriptions of the plants, their distribution and habitats by a well-known author and photographer.

Wada English | PDF | 1994 | 646 Pages | ISBN : 0792394534 | 47.9 MB As we approach the end of the present century, the elementary particles of light (photons) are seen to be competing increasingly with the elementary particles of charge (electrons/holes) in the task of transmitting and processing the insatiable amounts of infonnation needed by society. The massive enhancements in electronic signal processing that have taken place since the discovery of the transistor, elegantly demonstrate how we have learned to make use of the strong interactions that exist between assemblages of electrons and holes, disposed in suitably designed geometries, and replicated on an increasingly fine scale. On the other hand, photons interact extremely weakly amongst themselves and all-photonic active circuit elements, where photons control photons, are presently very difficult to realise, particularly in small volumes. Fortunately rapid developments in the design and understanding of semiconductor injection lasers coupled with newly recognized quantum phenomena, that arise when device dimensions become comparable with electronic wavelengths, have clearly demonstrated how efficient and fast the interaction between electrons and photons can be. This latter situation has therefore provided a strong incentive to devise and study monolithic integrated circuits which involve both electrons and photons in their operation. As chapter I notes, it is barely fifteen years ago since the first demonstration of simple optoelectronic integrated circuits were realised using m-V compound semiconductors; these combined either a laser/driver or photodetector/preamplifier combination.
![]() Free Download Option Theory with Stochastic Analysis: An Introduction to Mathematical Finance by Fred Espen Benth English | PDF (True) | 2004 | 172 Pages | ISBN : 354040502X | 13.4 MB Since 1972 and the appearance of the famous Black & Scholes option pric ing formula, derivatives have become an integrated part of everyday life in the financial industry. Options and derivatives are tools to control risk ex posure, and used in the strategies of investors speculating in markets like fixed-income, stocks, currencies, commodities and energy. A combination of mathematical and economical reasoning is used to find the price of a derivatives contract. This book gives an introduction to the theory of mathematical finance, which is the modern approach to analyse options and derivatives. Roughly speaking, we can divide mathematical fi nance into three main directions. In stochastic finance the purpose is to use economic theory with stochastic analysis to derive fair prices for options and derivatives. The results are based on stochastic modelling of financial as sets, which is the field of empirical finance. Numerical approaches for finding prices of options are studied in computational finance. All three directions are presented in this book. Algorithms and code for Visual Basic functions are included in the numerical chapter to inspire the reader to test out the theory in practice. The objective of the book is not to give a complete account of option theory, but rather relax the mathematical rigour to focus on the ideas and techniques. ![]() Free Download Optimization, Learning Algorithms and Applications: Third International Conference, OL2A 2023, Ponta Delgada, Portugal, September 27-29, 2023, Revised Selected Papers, Part II by Ana I.

By providing real-time processing, reduced latency, increased efficiency, improved security, and scalability, edge devices are at the forefront of enabling IoT growth and success. As the adoption of AI on the edge continues to surge, the demand for real-time data processing is escalating, driving innovation in AI and fostering the development of cutting-edge applications and use cases. Delving into the intricacies of traditional deep neural network (deepNet) approaches, the book addresses concerns about their energy efficiency during inference, particularly for edge devices. The energy consumption of deepNets, largely attributed to Multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations between layers, is scrutinized. Researchers are actively working on reducing energy consumption through strategies such as tiny networks, pruning approaches, and weight quantization. Additionally, the book sheds light on the challenges posed by the physical size of AI accelerators for edge devices. The central focus of the book is an in-depth examination of SNNs' capabilities in radar data processing, featuring the development of optimized algorithms. ![]() Free Download Optimal Long-Term Operation of Electric Power Systems by G. S. Christensen , S. A. Soliman English | PDF | 1988 | 313 Pages | ISBN : 1468454951 | 21 MB This book deals with a very important problem in power system planning for countries in which hydrogeneration accounts for the greatest part of the system power production. During the past thirty years many techniques have been developed to cope with the long-term operation of hydro reser voirs. These techniques have been discussed in a number of publications, but they have not until now been documented in book form. This book is intended as the foundation for a special graduate course dealing with aspects of electrical engineering, operational research, water resource research, and applied mathematics. It may also be used for self study by practicing personnel involved in the planning and operation of hydroelectric power systems for utilities, consulting groups, and government regulatory agencies. The book consists of eight chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the historical developments in the field, discusses briefly all techniques used to solve the problem, and summarizes the modeling of hydroplants for long-term operation studies. At the end of the chapter we present in detail an outline of the book. |
