Springer International Publishing AG Selected Asymptotic Methods with Applications to Electromagnetics and Antennas
Book SynopsisThis book describes and illustrates the application of several asymptotic methods that have proved useful in the authors' research in electromagnetics and antennas. We first define asymptotic approximations and expansions and explain these concepts in detail. We then develop certain prerequisites from complex analysis such as power series, multivalued functions (including the concepts of branch points and branch cuts), and the all-important gamma function. Of particular importance is the idea of analytic continuation (of functions of a single complex variable); our discussions here include some recent, direct applications to antennas and computational electromagnetics. Then, specific methods are discussed. These include integration by parts and the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma, the use of contour integration in conjunction with other methods, techniques related to Laplace's method and Watson's lemma, the asymptotic behavior of certain Fourier sine and cosine transforms, and the Poisson summation formula (including its version for finite sums). Often underutilized in the literature are asymptotic techniques based on the Mellin transform; our treatment of this subject complements the techniques presented in our recent Synthesis Lecture on the exact (not asymptotic) evaluation of integrals.Table of ContentsPreface.- Introduction: Simple Asymptotic Approximations.- Asymptotic Approximations Defined.- Concepts from Complex Variables.- Laplace's Method and Watson's Lemma.- Integration by Parts and Asymptotics of Some Fourier Transforms.- Poisson Summation Formula and Applications.- Mellin-Transform Method for Asymptotic Evaluation of Integrals.- More Applications to Wire Antennas.- Authors' Biographies.- Index.

It also provides an introduction to the use of game theory for the development of cyber-attack response models and a discussion on the experimental testbeds used for ICS cyber security research. The probabilistic risk assessment framework used by the nuclear industry provides a valid framework to understand the impacts of cyber-attacks in the physical world. An introduction to the PRA techniques such as fault trees, and event trees is provided along with a discussion on different levels of PRA and the application of PRA techniques in the context of cybersecurity. A discussion on machine learning based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods and cyber-attack detection methods for industrial control systems are introduced in this book as well.A dynamic Bayesian networks based method that can be used to detect an abnormal event and classify it as either a component fault induced safety event or a cyber-attack is discussed. An introduction to the stochastic game formulation of the attacker-defender interaction in the context of cyber-attacks on industrial control systems to compute optimal response strategies is presented. Besides supporting cyber-attack response, the analysis based on the game model also supports the behavioral study of the defender and the attacker during a cyber-attack, and the results can then be used to analyze the risk to the system caused by a cyber-attack. A brief review of the current state of experimental testbeds used in ICS cybersecurity research and a comparison of the structures of various testbeds and the attack scenarios supported by those testbeds is included. A description of a testbed for nuclear power applications, followed by a discussion on the design of experiments that can be carried out on the testbed and the associated results is covered as well.This SpringerBrief is a useful resource tool for researchers working in the areas of cyber security for industrial control systems, energy systems and cyber physical systems.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Discovery of Ill–Known Motifs in Time Series Data
Book SynopsisThis book includes a novel motif discovery for time series, KITE (ill-Known motIf discovery in Time sEries data), to identify ill-known motifs transformed by affine mappings such as translation, uniform scaling, reflection, stretch, and squeeze mappings. Additionally, such motifs may be covered with noise or have variable lengths. Besides KITE’s contribution to motif discovery, new avenues for the signal and image processing domains are explored and created. The core of KITE is an invariant representation method called Analytic Complex Quad Tree Wavelet Packet transform (ACQTWP). This wavelet transform applies to motif discovery as well as to several signal and image processing tasks. The efficiency of KITE is demonstrated with data sets from various domains and compared with state-of-the-art algorithms, where KITE yields the best outcomes.Trade Review“The book under review provides one such vantage point, and anyone whose work involves finding patterns in large amounts of data should take heed. … For those well versed in the mathematics of harmonics and waves, the book should prove very useful in showing how these theories can be applied to data series. But even those who are not specialists in this area, such as myself, can still gain many ideas from this useful tome.” (Eugene Callahan, Computing Reviews, October 11, 2022)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Preliminaries.- General Principles of Time Series Motif Discovery.- State of the Art in Time Series Motif Discovery.- Distortion-Invariant Motif Discovery.- Evaluation.- Conclusion and Outlook.- Appendices A-D.
