      This book contains the lecture notes for a DMV course presented by the authors at Gunzburg, Germany, in September, 1990. In the course we sketched the theory of information bounds for non parametric and semiparametric ...

    • Computational algebraic number theory 

      Pohst, Michael (Birkhäuser Basel, 1993)
      Computational algebraic number theory has been attracting broad interest in the last few years due to its potential applications in coding theory and cryptography. For this reason, the Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung ...

    • Topics in control theory 

      Knobloch, Hans W.; Isidori, Alberto; Dietrich, Flockerzi (Birkhäuser Basel, 1993)
      One of the key concerns in modern control theory is the design of steering strategies. The implementation of such strategies is done by a regulator. Presented here is a self-contained introduction to the mathematical ...

      Ballmann, Werner (Birkhäuser Basel, 1995)
      Singular spaces with upper curvature bounds and, in particular, spaces of nonpositive curvature, have been of interest in many fields, including geometric (and combinatorial) group theory, topology, dynamical systems and ...

    • Classical nonintegrability, quantum chaos 

      [OWS-27] Knauf, Andreas; Sinai, Yakov G. (Birkhäuser Basel, 1997)
      Our DMV Seminar on 'Classical Nonintegrability, Quantum Chaos' intended to introduce students and beginning researchers to the techniques applied in nonin­ tegrable classical and quantum dynamics. Several of these lectures ...

    • Geometry of higher dimensional algebraic varieties 

      [OWS-26] Miyaoka, Yoichi; Peternell, Thomas (Birkhäuser Basel, 1997)
      This book is based on lecture notes of a seminar of the Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung held by the authors at Oberwolfach from April 2 to 8, 1995. It gives an introduction to the classification theory and geometry of ...

    • Scaling limits and models in physical processes 

      [OWS-28] Cercignani, Carlo; Sattinger, David (Birkhäuser Basel, 1998)

    • Polytopes - combinatorics and computation 

      [OWS-29] Kalai, Gil; Ziegler, Günter M. (Birkhäuser Basel, 2000)
      Questions that arose from linear programming and combinatorial optimization have been a driving force for modern polytope theory, such as the diameter questions motivated by the desire to understand the complexity of the ...

    • Infinite dimensional Kähler manifolds 

      [OWS-31] Huckleberry, Alan; Wurzbacher, Tilmann (Birkhäuser Basel, 2001)
      Infinite dimensional manifolds, Lie groups and algebras arise naturally in many areas of mathematics and physics. Having been used mainly as a tool for the study of finite dimensional objects, the emphasis has changed and ...

    • Hermann Weyl's Raum - Zeit - Materie and a general introduction to his scientific work 

      [OWS-30] Scholz, Erhard (Birkhäuser Basel, 2001)
      Historical interest and studies of Weyl's role in the interplay between 20th-century mathematics, physics and philosophy have been increasing since the middle 1980s, triggered by different activities at the occasion of the ...
