    • Computational algebraic number theory 

      [OWS-21] 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 

      [OWS-22] 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 ...

      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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • Ten lectures on random media 

      [OWS-32] Bolthausen, Erwin; Sznitman, Alain-Sol (Birkhäuser Basel, 2002)
      The following notes grew out oflectures held during the DMV-Seminar on Random Media in November 1999 at the Mathematics Research Institute of Oberwolfach, and in February-March 2000 at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. ...
