A Graduate Course in Probability
This book grew out of the notes for a one-semester basic graduate course in probability. As the title suggests, it is meant to be an introduction to probability and could serve as textbook for a year long text for a basic graduate course. It assumes some familiarity with measure theory and integration so in this book we emphasize only those aspects of measure theory that have special probabilistic uses.The book covers the topics that are part of the culture of an aspiring probabilist and it is guided by the author's personal belief that probability was and is a theory driven by examples. The examples form the main attraction of this subject. For this reason, a large book is devoted to an eclectic collection of examples, from classical to modern, from mainstream to "exotic". The text is complemented by nearly 200 exercises, quite a few nontrivial, but all meant to enhance comprehension and enlarge the reader's horizons.While teaching probability both at undergraduate and graduate level the author discovered the revealing power of simulations. For this reason, the book contains a veiled invitation to the reader to familiarize with the programing language R. In the appendix, there are a few of the most frequently used operations and the text is sprinkled with (less than optimal) R codes. Nowadays one can do on a laptop simulations and computations we could only dream as an undergraduate in the past. This is a book written by a probability outsider. That brings along a bit of freshness together with certain "naiveties".
Number Theory
This is a book for an undergraduate number theory course, senior thesis work, graduate level study, or for those wishing to learn about applications of number theory to data encryption and security. With no abstract algebra background required, it covers congruences, the Euclidean algorithm, linear Diophantine equations, the Chinese Remainder Theorem, Mobius inversion formula, Pythagorean triplets, perfect numbers and amicable pairs, Law of Quadratic Reciprocity, theorems on sums of squares, Farey fractions, periodic continued fractions, best rational approximations, and Pell's equation. Results are applied to factoring and primality testing including those for Mersenne and Fermat primes, probabilistic primality tests, Pollard's rho and p-1 factorization algorithms, and others. Also an introduction to cryptology with a full discussion of the RSA algorithm, discrete logarithms, and digital signatures. Chapters on analytic number theory including the Riemann zeta function, average orders of the lattice and divisor functions, Chebyshev's theorems, and Bertrand's Postulate. A chapter introduces additive number theory with discussion of Waring's Problem, the pentagonal number theorem for partitions, and Schnirelmann density.
Noncommutative Measures and LP and Orlicz Spaces, with Applications to Quantum Physics
The theory of noncommutative Haagerup ��sup��/sup and Orlicz spaces is an important tool in both Quantum Harmonic Analysis and Mathematical Physics. Indeed, noncommutativity is arguably the raison-d'礙tre of the Heisenberg approach to quantum mechanics. Just as classical analysis formed the foundation for classical mechanics, a mature response to the challenges posed by quantum mechanics (from the Heisenberg perspective) similarly needs to be built on a well-developed foundation of noncommutative analysis. In the passage from the classical to the quantum setting, functions get replaced with (possibly noncommuting) operators. Von Neumann himself realised early on that some sort of noncommutative integral calculus tailored to this setting is therefore needed to meet this challenge. This book seeks to help address this need. The noncommutative Orlicz spaces presented here help in dealing with observable quantities and entropy. Goldstein and Labuschagne provide a detailed account of the current theories in a way that is useful and accessible to a wide range of readers, from graduate students to advanced users. Beginning with some foundational examples intended to build intuition for the theory to follow, including the theory of noncommutative decreasing arrangements, as developed by Fack and Kosaki, and of Orlicz spaces for general von Neumann algebras. The authors then present the theory of the more accessible tracial case, followed by that of the more demanding general (type III) case. The final part of the book is devoted to advanced theory and applications.
Empowering Young Minds
Many metaheuristics are inspired by natural intelligence, particularly in how living species adapt and collaborate for survival. Swarm intelligence-based algorithms mimic the collective behaviour of animals and insects, and this book explores four such algorithms: Cat Swarm, Chicken Swarm, Bird Swarm, and Elephant Search. The authors have created engaging games to help children understand these algorithms through hands-on activities. With this interactive experience, the authors hope children can learn creative problem-solving skills while enjoying the amazing strategies that living creatures use in nature.
Existence of Positive Solutions
The study of the existence of positive solutions of operator equations in ordered Banach spaces, in which algebra, geometry and analysis are combined, has received much attention in the past few decades, but still in the present time.It is related to the existence of positive solutions of operator equations that have been raised in application, such as buckling of mechanical structures, design of suspension bridges, steady-state temperature distribution, chemical reactions, interaction between predators and prey, and management of natural resources.This problem can be reduced to the existence of an equation in an ordered Banach space.In this book we consider the existence of solutions of some types of equations in ordered Banach spaces.First, the existence and nonexistence of solutions of equations with differentiable concave-convex operators are discussed depending on the parameters.Next, based on the concept of partial incomplete compactness measure, we consider the existence of fixed points of monotone operators satisfying weak compactness conditions.Finally, we apply the bifurcation theory to consider the set of positive solutions of the boundary value problem.

Connection Matrices in Combinatorial Topological Dynamics
This book provides an introduction to the theory of connection matrices in the context of combinatorial multivector fields. The theory of connection matrices was proposed by Conley and Franzosa for classical continuous-time dynamical systems as a tool for studying connecting orbits between isolated invariant sets. It generalizes the Morse complex in Morse theory, and has found numerous applications in dynamics. Connection matrices have been and still are a challenging topic to study, as there are no complete introductory texts, and both their intricate definition and properties are scattered over numerous research papers. In recent years, dynamical concepts have found their way into a combinatorial context. Starting with combinatorial vector fields, introduced by Forman to generalize classical Morse theory, it has been realized that this transfer of ideas can lead to important applications. Similarly, Conley's theory of isolated invariant sets has been transferred to the combinatorial setting. This, when combined with the concept of multivector fields, opens the door to a complete combinatorial dynamical theory. In this book, we take Conley's theory one step further, by presenting a complete discussion of connection matrices for combinatorial multivector fields. While some of the results in this book are based on known approaches, we show in a detailed way how they can be carried over to the case of multivector fields on general Lefschetz complexes. Along the way, we introduce notions which are new even in the classical setting, such as a formal approach to addressing the nonuniqueness of connection matrices, as well as mechanisms for comparing connection matrices even under poset changes. Finally, we show that specifically for the case of Forman's gradient combinatorial vector fields connection matrices are necessarily unique, and can be determined explicitly in a straightforward way. Focusing on the combinatorial theory of connection matrices has a number of advantages. On the one hand, many of the technical difficulties of the classical continuous-time dynamics situation are not present in the discrete combinatorial context. This allows us to provide a complete and informal introduction to the theory in the second section of the book. This in turn will enable the readers to construct and analyze their own examples easily. On the other hand, the complete theory, including the existence of connecting orbits in the combinatorial setting can be presented in detail, based on an explicit distinction between the algebraic and topological parts of the theory. In this way, it is our hope that this book will be an impetus for further knowledge transfer between dynamics and combinatorics, and even topological data analysis. This text is aimed at researchers in the fields of dynamics and topological data analysis, and it is suitable for advanced graduate students interested in applying connection matrix methods to their own studies.
Mean Field Guided Machine Learning
This book explores the integration of Mean Field Game (MFG) theory with machine learning (ML), presenting both theoretical foundations and practical applications. Drawing from extensive research, it provides insights into how MFG can improve various ML techniques, including supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and federated learning. MFG theory and ML are converging to address critical challenges in high-dimensional spaces and multi-agent systems. While ML has transformed industries by leveraging vast data and computational power, scalability and robustness remain key concerns. MFG theory, which models large populations of interacting agents, offers a mathematical framework to simplify and optimize complex systems, enhancing ML's efficiency and applicability. By bridging these two fields, this book aims to drive innovation in scalable and robust machine learning. The integration of MFG with ML not only expands research possibilities but also paves the way for more adaptive and intelligent systems. Through this work, the authors hope to inspire further exploration and development in this promising interdisciplinary domain. With case studies and real-world examples, this book serves as a guide for researchers and students in communications and networks seeking to harness MFG's potential in advancing ML. Industry managers, practitioners and government research workers in the fields of communications and networks will find this book a valuable resource as well.
Differential Geometry
This book, Differential Geometry: Foundations of Cauchy-Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-C), is the third in a series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced, in Cauchy-Riemann (CR) and pseudohermitian geometry, such as Lewy operators, CR structures and the tangential CR equations, the Levi form, Tanaka-Webster connections, sub-Laplacians, pseudohermitian sectional curvature, and Kohn-Rossi cohomology of the tangential CR complex. Recent results on submanifolds of Hermitian and Sasakian manifolds are presented, from the viewpoint of the geometry of the second fundamental form of an isometric immersion. The book has two souls, those of Complex Analysis versus Riemannian geometry, and attempts to fill in the gap among the two. The other three books of the series are: Differential Geometry: Manifolds, Bundles, Characteristic Classes (Book I-A) Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B) Differential Geometry: Advanced Topics in Cauchy-Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D) The four books belong to an ampler book project "Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Physics", by the same authors, and aim to demonstrate how certain portions of differential geometry (DG) and the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) apply to general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory. These books supply some of the ad hoc DG and PDEs machinery yet do not constitute a comprehensive treatise on DG or PDEs, but rather authors' choice based on their scientific (mathematical and physical) interests. These are centered around the theory of immersions--isometric, holomorphic, and CR--and pseudohermitian geometry, as devised by Sidney Martin Webster for the study of nondegenerate CR structures, themselves a DG manifestation of the tangential CR equations.
Calculus
Unlock the mysteries of Calculus with a fresh approach rooted in simplicity and historical insight. This book reintroduces a nearly forgotten idea from Ren矇 Descartes (1596-1650), showing how the fundamental concepts of Calculus can be understood using just basic algebra. Starting with rational functions - the core of early Calculus - this method allows the reader to grasp the rules for derivatives without the intimidating concepts of limits or real numbers, making the subject more accessible than ever.But the journey doesn't stop there. While attempting to apply this algebraic approach to exponential functions, the reader will encounter the limitations of simple methods, revealing the necessity for more advanced mathematical tools. This natural progression leads to the discovery of continuity, the approximation process, and ultimately, the introduction of real numbers and limits. These deeper concepts pave the way for understanding differentiable functions, seamlessly bridging the gap between elementary algebra and the profound ideas that underpin Calculus.Whether you're a student, educator, or math enthusiast, this book offers a unique pathway to mastering Calculus. By connecting historical context with modern mathematical practice, it provides a richer, more motivating learning experience. For those looking to dive even deeper, the author's 2015 book, What is Calculus? From Simple Algebra to Deep Analysis, is the perfect next step.
Application of the Bayesian Method in Statistical Modeling
Bayesian statistics is a theory in the field of statistics based on the Bayesian interpretation of probability, where probability expresses a degree of belief in an event. Bayesian statistical methods use Bayes' theorem to compute and update probabilities after obtaining new data. Named after Thomas Bayes, Bayes' theorem (1973) describes the conditional probability of an event based on data, as well as prior information or beliefs about the event or conditions related to the event. This approach differs from other interpretations of probability, such as the frequentist interpretation, which views probability as the limit of the relative frequency of an event after many trials. During much of the 20th century, many statisticians viewed Bayesian methods unfavorably due primarily to practical considerations. Bayesian methods required much computation to complete, and the most widely used methods during the previous century relied on frequentist interpretation. However, with the advent of powerful computers and new algorithms, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, Bayesian methods have seen increasing use within statistics in the 21st century. This Special Issue will raise awareness of the availability and applicability of Bayesian analyses. It includes a collection of theoretical and applied studies using Bayesian statistics and provides information on statistical software that allows the use of Bayesian estimation methods.
