This book is a self-contained account of the theory of viscosity solutions for first-order partial differential equations of Hamilton–Jacobi type and its interplay with Bellman’s dynamic programming approach to optimal control and differential games, as it developed after the beginning of the 1980s with the pioneering work of M. Crandall and P.L. Lions. The book will be of interest to scientists involved in the theory of optimal control of deterministic linear and nonlinear systems. In particular, it will appeal to system theorists wishing to learn about a mathematical theory providing a correct framework for the classical method of dynamic programming as well as mathematicians interested in new methods for first-order nonlinear PDEs. The work may be used by graduate students and researchers in control theory both as an introductory textbook and as an up-to-date reference book. "The exposition is self-contained, clearly written and mathematically precise. The exercises and open problems…will stimulate research in the field. The rich bibliography (over 530 titles) and the historical notes provide a useful guide to the area." — Mathematical Reviews "With an excellent printing and clear structure (including an extensive subject and symbol registry) the book offers a deep insight into the praxis and theory of optimal control for the mathematically skilled reader. All sections close with suggestions for exercises…Finally, with more than 500 cited references, an overview on the history and the main works of this modern mathematical discipline is given." — ZAA "The minimal mathematical background...the detailed and clear proofs, the elegant style of presentation, and the sets of proposed exercises at the end of each section recommend this book, in the first place, as a lecture course for graduate students and as a manual for beginners in the field. However, this status is largely extended by the presence of many advanced topics and results by the fairly comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography and, particularly, by the very pertinent historical and bibliographical comments at the end of each chapter. In my opinion, this book is yet another remarkable outcome of the brilliant Italian School of Mathematics." — Zentralblatt MATH "The book is based on some lecture notes taught by the authors at several universities...and selected parts of it can be used for graduate courses in optimal control. But it can be also used as a reference text for researchers (mathematicians and engineers)...In writing this book, the authors lend a great service to the mathematical community providing an accessible and rigorous treatment of a difficult subject." — Acta Applicandae Mathematicae.

Osserman (Ed.) Geometry V Minimal Surfaces The theory of minimal surfaces has expanded in many directions over the past decade or two. This volume gathers in one place an overview of some of the most exciting developments, presented by five of the leading contributors to those developments. Hirotaka Fujimoto, who obtained the definitive results on the Gauss map of minimal surfaces, reports on Nevanlinna Theory and Minimal Surfaces. Stefan Hildebrandt provides an up-to-date account of the Plateau problem and related boundary-value problems. David Hoffman and Hermann Karcher describe the wealth of results on embedded minimal surfaces from the past decade, starting with Costa's surface and the subsequent Hoffman-Meeks examples. Finally, Leon Simon covers the PDE aspect of minimal surfaces, with a survey of known results both in the classical case of surfaces and in the higher dimensional case. The book will be very useful as a reference and research guide to graduate students and researchers in mathematics.

Information Systems and Data Compression presents a uniform approach and methodology for designing intelligent information systems. A framework for information concepts is introduced for various types of information systems such as communication systems, information storage systems and systems for simplifying structured information. The book introduces several new concepts and presents a novel interpretation of a wide range of topics in communications, information storage, and information compression. Numerous illustrations for designing information systems for compression of digital data and images are used throughout the book.
