CONTINUOUS-TIME MARKOV CHAINS AND APPLICATIONS // , Zhang; , Yin;

This book gives a systematic treatment of singularly perturbed systems that naturally arise in control and optimization, queueing networks, manufacturing systems, and financial engineering. It presents results on asymptotic expansions of solutions of Komogorov forward and backward equations, properties of functional occupation measures, exponent...

ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR: EVOLUTION AND MECHANISMS // , Schneider; , Kraus; , Zhang; , Kaiser; , F.; , Schreiber; , Trillmich; , Tautz; , Taborsky; , Schaik; , Schaefer; , Sachser; , Penn; , Pahl; , Moritz; , Michiels; , Manser; , Kotrschal; , Korb; , Kerth; , Kempenaers; , Kappeler; , Hofer; , Hirschenhauser; , Heinze; , Goymann; , Broc;

The study of animal behaviour is one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines in biology. The resulting diversity of conceptual approaches and methodological innovations makes it increasingly difficult for professionals and students to keep abreast of important new developments. This edited volume provides up-to-date reviews that facilitate orient...

SIX SHORT CHAPTERS ON AUTOMORPHIC FORMS AND L-FUNCTIONS // , Dou; , Zhang;

"Six Short Chapters on Automorphic Forms and L-functions" treats the period conjectures of Shimura and the moment conjecture. These conjectures are of central importance in contemporary number theory, but have hitherto remained little discussed in expository form. The book is divided into six short and relatively independent chapters, each with ...
