Complex Graphs and Networks
Author: Fan R. K. Chung
language: en
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
Release Date: 2006
Graph theory is a primary tool for detecting numerous hidden structures in various information networks, including Internet graphs, social networks, biological networks, or any graph representing relations in massive data sets. This book explains the universal and ubiquitous coherence in the structure of these realistic but complex networks.
Hopf Algebras and Their Actions on Rings
Author: Susan Montgomery
language: en
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
Release Date: 1993-10-28
The last ten years have seen a number of significant advances in Hopf algebras. The best known is the introduction of quantum groups, which are Hopf algebras that arose in mathematical physics and now have connections to many areas of mathematics. In addition, several conjectures of Kaplansky have been solved, the most striking of which is a kind of Lagrange's theorem for Hopf algebras. Work on actions of Hopf algebras has unified earlier results on group actions, actions of Lie algebras, and graded algebras. This book brings together many of these recent developments from the viewpoint of the algebraic structure of Hopf algebras and their actions and coactions. Quantum groups are treated as an important example, rather than as an end in themselves. The two introductory chapters review definitions and basic facts; otherwise, most of the material has not previously appeared in book form. Providing an accessible introduction to Hopf algebras, this book would make an excellent graduate textbook for a course in Hopf algebras or an introduction to quantum groups.
Minimax Methods in Critical Point Theory with Applications to Differential Equations
Author: Paul H. Rabinowitz
language: en
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
Release Date: 1986-07-01
The book provides an introduction to minimax methods in critical point theory and shows their use in existence questions for nonlinear differential equations. An expanded version of the author's 1984 CBMS lectures, this volume is the first monograph devoted solely to these topics. Among the abstract questions considered are the following: the mountain pass and saddle point theorems, multiple critical points for functionals invariant under a group of symmetries, perturbations from symmetry, and variational methods in bifurcation theory. The book requires some background in functional analysis and differential equations, especially elliptic partial differential equations. It is addressed to mathematicians interested in differential equations and/or nonlinear functional analysis, particularly critical point theory.
