The tools are summarized well in appendices which makes the book self-contained and easy to read. The book is very well written and will undoubtedly remain a major reference on the topic for years to come." —Mathematical Reviews "This well-written book presents an overview of the mathematics behind internet congestion control. Focusing on the well-established TCP protocol, it starts with a gentle introduction on TCP and the packet/acknowledgement structure of the internet, before proceeding to congestion and the principles of congestion control…. Overall, this book presents in an easy-to-understand way the principles of internet congestion control with a focus on the mathematical concepts behind them. The book concludes with a useful index and a rich source of bibliographical references." —Zentralblatt Math "The investigation of fairness, efficiency, and dynamics of TCP led to the development of a new fast-growing research domain of mathematical models for congestion control. The Mathematics of Internet Congestion Control by R. Srikant provides a valuable comprehensive introduction to this new exciting research area. …Using mathematical models, Srikant successfully explains the principal ideas behind Internet congestion control. The publication of the book is very timely. Currently, there are no other books on mathematical models for congestion control. …All material in the book is accessible to graduate or even undergraduate students of mathematical and electrical engineering disciplines. Many chapters are supplied with appendices which review the necessary background material and make the book self-contained. In conclusion, this book can be equally recommended for beginners as well as for expert researchers working in the domain of congestion control. For beginners, the book will be a good starting point from which to explore a vast and rapidly growing body of literature on the subject of Internet congestion control.

Birkhauser Boston Mathematical Analysis Functions of One Variable v 1
Book SynopsisFor more than two thousand years some familiarity with mathematics has been regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual equipment of every cultured person.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Many teachers and students could benefit from thinking about its unique perspectives." ---SIAM Review "Giaquinta . . . and Modica . . . present the differential and integral calculus for real functions of a single real variable from a sophisticated point of view. Their book is far better suited as a source of unique perspectives on the logical development of calculus ideas and their physical applications . . . [so that] it will better serve the experienced calculus instructor seeking new approaches to familiar material, or the student who has already mastered the basic ideas and techniques of calculus but wishes to see it all again, 'done right,' . . . Highly recommended." ---CHOICE "This self-contained book introduces the main ideas and fundamental methods of mathematical analysis without loosing sight of the context in which it was developed and the role played in science, particularly in physics…. Each chapter has a short summary where the most important facts discussed are collected. There is also a large number of exercises inserted at various points into the text…. The book is meant principally for students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science, but it can be used at technological and scientific faculties by anyone who wants to approach these topics." ---ZENTRALBLATT MATH "The presentation of the theory is clearly arranged, all theorems have rigorous proofs and every chapter closes with a summing up of the results and exericeses with different requirements. The aim of the authors was very successful[ly] realized, and this book is excellently suitable for students in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science and all students of technological and scientific faculties." ---Journal of Analysis and its Applications "This is the first of several volumes on analysis by these authors. … It is essentially a calculus book at the advanced undergraduate level, or an analysis textbook for someone who has never seen calculus before. … I like this book … ."

Birkhauser Boston Distributions Theory and Applications Cornerstones
Book SynopsisThe treatment emphasizes applications that relate distributions to linear partial differential equations and Fourier analysis problems found in mechanics, optics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and signal analysis.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This is a fantastic book…Even in this enlightened age, the theory of distributions is a highly misunderstood and undervalued business…All of this notwithstanding, learning it from the extant standard sources has always been a rather an austere affair…Distributions: Theory and Applications is laden with examples and exercises…[The book] comes equipped with a long section containing solutions to selected exercises. Distributions: Theory and Applications is much more than a textbook for a one-semester introduction to the indicated subject: the reader/student who hangs in, reads the text while filling the margins and a notebook or two (or three, or four) along the way, and wrestles with the exercises, will be more than ready for more advanced works in the area as well as the business of applying distributions in a number of nontrivial settings. Additionally he will have been exposed to a great deal of serious mathematics from, if you’ll pardon the pun, all over the spectrum.”BLL — The Basic Library List Committee suggests that undergraduate mathematics libraries consider this book for acquisition. —MAA Reviews“[Distributions: Theory and Applications] is a very useful, well-written, self contained, motivating book presenting the essentials of the theory of distributions of Schwartz, together with many applications to different areas of mathematics, like linear partial differential equations, Fourier analysis, quantum mechanics and signal analysis…One of the main features of this book is that many clarifying examples, presented with full detail, are included in the text. Moreover, a large number of problems is included at the end of each chapter…This reviewer found the book under review very stimulating, informative and inviting to further study. It is a very useful text for students who want to learn the theory of distributions, for experts in the abstract theory who want to read an application-oriented presentation with many examples and, last but not least, for mathematicians in related areas or theoretical physicists who need a self-contained, reasonable short presentation of the theory. I would strongly recommend it to all my colleagues.” —Zentralblatt MATH “The aim of this book is to present the theory of distributions of Laurent Schwartz in a rigorous, accessible way, together with applications to linear partial differential equations, Fourier analysis, quantum mechanics and signal analysis. The text of Duistermaat and Kolk emphasizes applications to natural sciences like optics, quantum field theory, signal reconstruction or computer tomography. The exposition stresses applications and interactions with other parts of mathematics...It is a useful text for students who want to learn the theory of distributions, for experts in the abstract theory who want to read an application-oriented presentation with many examples, and also for mathematicians in related areas or theoretical physicists who need a self-contained presentation of the theory. The book includes many clarifying examples, presented in full detail. Many exercises and problems, with different levels of difficulty, are included at the end of each chapter. A reader who tries to solve them will re-examine many aspects of analysis of several variables in the light of the theory of distributions. Complete solutions of 146 of the 281 problems are provided and hints are given for many others.In summary, this is a useful, well-written, self-contained book about the theory of distributions of Schwartz and applications to different areas of mathematics and physics. Although there are many good books that present an introduction to the theory of distributions of Schwartz, assuming different levels of knowledge of linear functional analysis, the text of Duistermaat and Kolk is a very welcome addition. In the opinion of this reviewer, this is a stimulating, informative book that invites further study, and I strongly recommend it to any readers interested in this topic.” —Mathematical Reviews “This is a wonderful graduate level book providing a modern introduction to distribution theory with several entrance points for deeper tours into advanced analysis and applications. The lucid discussions of the development of certain key notions and the fine careful proofs define it as a valuable text book for a corresponding university course. … even in independent self-study the reader has a fair chance to obtain a reasonable amount of working knowledge … .” (G. Hörmann, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 163 (1), May, 2011)“The authors have set out to produce a text on distribution theory accessible to undergraduate (or beginning graduate) students at the point in their studies where it could serve as an alternative to a beginning course in measure theory. … The authors discuss many fascinating results in distribution theory, with an emphasis on the use of the subject in linear PDEs … . The book succeeds both as a basic and as a rich account of results in distribution theory.” (Michael Taylor, SIAM Review, Vol. 54 (3), 2012)Table of ContentsPreface.- Standard Notation.- 1 Motivation .- Problems.- 2 Test Functions.- Problems.- 3 Distributions.- Problems.- 4 Differentiation of Distributions.- Problems.- 5 Convergence of Distributions.- Problems.- 6 Taylor Expansion in Several Variables.- Problems.- 7 Localization.- Problems.- 8 Distributions with Compact Support.- Problems.- 9 Multiplication by Functions.- Problems.- 10 Transposition: Pullback and Pushforward.- Problems.- 11 Convolution of Distributions.- Problems.- 12 Fundamental Solutions.- Problems.- 13 Fractional Integration and Differentiation .- 13.1 The Case of Dimension One.- 13.2 Wave Family.- 13.3 Appendix: Euler’s Gamma Function.- Problems.- 14 Fourier Transform.- Problems.- 15 Distribution Kernels.- Problems.- 16 Fourier Series.- Problems.- 17 Fundamental Solutions and Fourier Transform.- 17.1 Appendix: Fundamental Solution of .I?/k.- Problems.- 18 Supports and Fourier Transform.- Problems.- 19 Sobolev Spaces.- Problems.- 20 Appendix: Integration.- 21 Solutions to Selected Problems.- References.- Index of Notation.- Index.
