Integer Programming: From The Early Years To The State-of-the-art (Wiley Series In Discrete Mathematics And Optimization Ser. #Vol. 52)
by Laurence A. WolseyA PRACTICAL GUIDE TO OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS WITH DISCRETE OR INTEGER VARIABLES, REVISED AND UPDATED The revised second edition of Integer Programming explains in clear and simple terms how to construct custom-made algorithms or use existing commercial software to obtain optimal or near-optimal solutions for a variety of real-world problems. The second edition also includes information on the remarkable progress in the development of mixed integer programming solvers in the 22 years since the first edition of the book appeared. The updated text includes information on the most recent developments in the field such as the much improved preprocessing/presolving and the many new ideas for primal heuristics included in the solvers. The result has been a speed-up of several orders of magnitude. The other major change reflected in the text is the widespread use of decomposition algorithms, in particular column generation (branch-(cut)-and-price) and Benders&’ decomposition. The revised second edition: Contains new developments on column generation Offers a new chapter on Benders&’ algorithm Includes expanded information on preprocessing, heuristics, and branch-and-cut Presents several basic and extended formulations, for example for fixed cost network flows Also touches on and briefly introduces topics such as non-bipartite matching, the complexity of extended formulations or a good linear program for the implementation of lift-and-project Written for students of integer/mathematical programming in operations research, mathematics, engineering, or computer science, Integer Programming offers an updated edition of the basic text that reflects the most recent developments in the field.

Integral Equations
by B. L. MoiseiwitschTwo distinct but related approaches hold the solutions to many mathematical problems--the forms of expression known as differential and integral equations. The method employed by the integral equation approach specifically includes the boundary conditions, which confers a valuable advantage. In addition, the integral equation approach leads naturally to the solution of the problem--under suitable conditions--in the form of an infinite series.Geared toward upper-level undergraduate students, this text focuses chiefly upon linear integral equations. It begins with a straightforward account, accompanied by simple examples of a variety of integral equations and the methods of their solution. The treatment becomes gradually more abstract, with discussions of Hilbert space and linear operators, the resolvent, Fredholm theory, and the Hilbert-Schmidt theory of linear operators in Hilbert space. This new edition of Integral Equations offers the additional benefit of solutions to selected problems.
Integral Equations and Integral Transforms
by Birendra Nath Mandal Sudeshna BanerjeaThis comprehensive textbook on linear integral equations and integral transforms is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics and physics. The book covers a range of topics including Volterra and Fredholm integral equations, the second kind of integral equations with symmetric kernels, eigenvalues and eigen functions, the Hilbert–Schmidt theorem, and the solution of Abel integral equations by using an elementary method. In addition, the book covers various integral transforms including Fourier, Laplace, Mellin, Hankel, and Z-transforms. One of the unique features of the book is a general method for the construction of various integral transforms and their inverses, which is based on the properties of delta function representation in terms of Green’s function of a Sturm–Liouville type ordinary differential equation and its applications to physical problems. The book is divided into two parts: integral equations and integral transforms. Each chapter is supplemented with numerous illustrative examples to aid in understanding. The clear and concise presentation of the topics covered makes this book an ideal resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the theory and application of linear integral equations and integral transforms.

Integral Operators in Non-Standard Function Spaces: Volume 3: Advances in Grand Function Spaces (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications #298)
by Humberto Rafeiro Stefan Samko Vakhtang Kokilashvili Alexander MeskhiThe present monograph serves as a natural extension of the prior 2-volume monograph with the same title and by the same authors, which encompassed findings up until 2014. This four-volume project encapsulates the authors’ decade-long research in the trending topic of nonstandard function spaces and operator theory. One of the main novelties of the present book is to develop the extrapolation theory, generally speaking, in grand Banach function spaces, and to apply it for obtaining the boundedness of fundamental operators of harmonic analysis, in particular, function spaces such as grand weighted Lebesgue and Lorentz spaces, grand variable exponent Lebesgue/Morrey spaces, mixed normed function spaces, etc. Embeddings in grand variable exponent Hajłasz-Sobolev spaces are also studied. Some applications to the approximation theory and boundary value problems of analytic functions are presented as well. The book is aimed at an audience ranging from researchers in operator theory and harmonic analysis to experts in applied mathematics and post graduate students. In particular, we hope that this book will serve as a source of inspiration for researchers in abstract harmonic analysis, function spaces, PDEs and boundary value problems.
