From the reviews:"A transformation on the sequence space l2 is called a Hankel operator if its matrix entries depend only on the sum of the indices. … This book gives a systematic account of the tremendous development, the theory underwent in the last half century. … Each chapter ends with Concluding Remarks, providing historical background … . This volume will certainly serve as a standard reference on Hankel operators. It can be warmly recommended to graduate students as well as experts in analysis and operator theory." (L. Kérchy, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 71, 2005)"There have already been several short texts and survey articles written about Hankel operators … . However, this is the first major monograph on the subject, and it covers far more ground. … Indeed, this lengthy book contains a huge amount of interesting material … . this is a very clear and well-written book, which will be a major source of reference for many years to come." (J.R. Partington, Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, Issue 47, 2004)"The present monograph, comprising of almost 800 pages, is an overwhelmingly concise and lucid exposition … . There are several older good books on Hankel operators … but none of them can probably match this excellent monograph in terms of depth of the treatment and of amount of the included material relevant to Hankel operators and their applications. The book has a very good chance of becoming one of the standard references on Hankel operators for the next decades." (Miroslav Engliš, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1030, 2004)"The book … is a comprehensive account (704 pages of text, plus two appendices) of Hankel operators and their applications. … The exposition is systematic and carefully written. … This book is an impressive achievement. It is wide in scope … . is an excellent source of information on Hankel operators and their applications. It is a very welcome addition to the mathematical literature, which both experts and nonexperts will surely find extremely useful." (Harry Dym, Mathematical Reviews, 2004e)"The book under review is devoted to the study of Hankel operators and their applications to a variety of problems. … . The book itself is extremely well written. It is encyclopaedic in its coverage, and clear and crisp in its exposition. The two appendices alone are worth the purchase price … . I would say that any mathematically inclined practitioner of linear control theory would definitely benefit from reading this book." (M. Vidyasagar, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Vol. 51 (2), February, 2006)“Hankel operators are one of the most important operators that have intrigued the greatest mathematicians and engineers in the last one and a half century. The book is definitely a standard reference work on these operators for the next century to come. … Two appendices on operator theory and function spaces are helpful and informative. The text is accessible to a broad readership. … must for every mathematics library and many researchers and system theorists will like to have a personal copy on their shelf.” (Adhemar Bultheel, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, 2007)

"This work represents a lucid, comprehensive, authoritative, and highly informative presentation of the techniques and methodology associated with simulation experimentation. The book is ‘lucid’ because, as the word implies, it sheds light on the subject matter of simulation experimentation and optimization; it is ‘comprehensive’ because it addresses all of the essential topics in the field; it is ‘authoritative’’ because it captures the essence of the best research in the field, as evidenced by its more than 400 authoritative citations; and it is ‘‘informative’ in that it distills the most important scholarship of the last six decades into a 210-page study of the DASE field. Jack Kleijnen has once again produced a cutting-edge approach to the design and analysis of simulation experiments. His 1974–75 books were an incisive compilation of statistical methodology in simulation and introduced the term metamodeling to the lexicon of simulation experimentation. His 2008 volume Design and Analysis of Simulation Experiments promises to popularize the term DASE in the same way. Many of us who specialize in the field of simulation experimentation and optimization have avidly followed Kleijnen’s writings for almost four decades. This latest work leads the way in this endeavor, and is a vital addition to the important scholarship in the field." (William E. BILES, JASA,&nbsp;June 2009, Vol. 104, No. 486)

Theorie der analytischen Funktionen einer komplexen Veränderlichen

From the reviews:
"...This is an interesting and unusual book written with the intention of serving several purposes. One of them is to demonstrate that methods of algebraic topology, in particular homology theory, that have proved remarkably successful in several areas of pure mathematics can provide powerful, and in some cases indispensable, tools in a number of areas of applied mathematics and science. The second is to provide the necessary theory and "technology" for such applications. This means on the one hand providing all the necessary mathematical foundations of the subject, including definitions and theorems, and on the other hand efficient computational techniques capable of dealing with real life situations. Thus, the book stresses algorithmic and computational approaches; and in fact includes computer code written in a programming language specially designed for this purpose. It is addressed to a varied audience of computer scientists, experimental scientists and engineers while at the same time trying to retain the interest of mathematicians. With this in mind the authors have attempted to produce a modular book, which allows a number of different reading approaches. The basic subdivision of the book is into three parts. The last part contains all the basic pre-requisites from algebra and topology: the most essential facts about Euclidean spaces, point set topology, abelian groups, vector spaces and matrix algebras. This part also contains a description of the programming language used to describe the algorithms found in the book..." --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
"This is an interesting and unusual book with the intention of serving several purposes. One of them is to demonstrate that methods of algebraic topology, in particular homology theory … . The second is to provide the necessary theory and ‘technology’ for such applications. … the book admirably achieves all its stated purposes. In addition it will provide much needed ammunition for those algebraic topologists who have been feeling besieged by allegations of their subject’s lack of ‘useful’ applications." (Andrzej Kozlowski, Mathematical Reviews, 2005g)
"This book provides the conceptual background for computational homology – a powerful tool used to study the properties of spaces and maps that are insensitive to small perturbations. The material presented here is a unique combination of current research and classical rigor, computation and application." (Corina Mohorianu, Zentralblatt Mathematik, Vol. 1039 (8), 2004)
"In addition to developing a computational homology theory which produces efficient algorithms, the authors demonstrate how these algorithms can be applied to a variety of problems … . I certainly recommend Computational Homology to mathematicians and applied scientists who wish to learn about the potential of algebraic topological methods. … this book is the first comprehensive effort to describe the computational aspects of homology theory … . It is written at a level that is suitable for advanced undergraduate and early graduate courses … ." (Thomas Wanner, SIAM Review, Vol. 48 (1). 2006)
"This is the first textbook on what is necessarily a mixture of classical mathematics, computer science, and applications. … it is a unique feature of Computational Homology that every geometric step, however conceptually simple, is broken down into elementary operations. … The book offers a reliable yet practical introduction to (cubical homology), with a strong emphasis on computational aspects. Hands-on experience can be gained through the many problems within the book and also by means of the software packages … ." (Arno Berger, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (4). 2006)

Computational Homology

From the reviews:
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
"…a remarkable, successful effort at making these ideas available to statisticians. It gives an overview, presents available theory, gives a splendid development of various bells and whistles important in practical implementation, and finally gives a large number of detailed examples and case studies…The authors and editors have been careful to write in a unified, readable way…I find it remarkable that the editors and authors have combined to produce an accessible bible that will be studied and used for years to come."
"Usually, very few volumes edited from papers contributed by many different authors result in books which can serve as either good textbooks or as useful reference. However, in the case of this book, it is enough to read the foreword by Adrian Smith to realize that this particular volume is quite different. … it is a good reference book for SMC." (Mohan Delampady, Sankhya: Indian Journal of Statistics, Vol. 64 (A), 2002)
"In this book the authors present sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods … . Over the last few years several closely related algorithms have appeared under the names ‘boostrap filters’, ‘particle filters’, ‘Monte Carlo filters’, and ‘survival of the fittest’. The book under review brings together many of these algorithms and presents theoretical developments … . This book will be of great value to advanced students, researchers, and practitioners who want to learn about sequential Monte Carlo methods for the computational problems of Bayesian Statistics." (E. Novak, Metrika, May, 2003)
"This book provides a very good overview of the sequential Monte Carlo methods and contains many ideas on further research on methodologies and newer areas of application. … It will be certainly a valuable reference book for students and researchers working in the area of on-line data analysis. … the techniques discussed in this book are of great relevance to practitioners dealing with real time data." (Pradipta Sarkar, Technometrics, Vol. 45 (1), 2003)

From the reviews:

"The scalar derivative … provided this limit exists and is finite, a notion introduced and studied by the second author of this book. … Based mainly on recent results obtained by the authors, appearing for the first time in book form, this volume is a valuable contribution to the field. It can be recommended to researchers and graduate students working in nonlinear analysis, fixed point theory, optimization, Riemannian geometry, and applied mathematics." (Stefan Cobzas, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1159, 2009)
“The aim of this book is to provide a systematic study of scalar and asymptotic scalar derivatives and to point out several applications of them. … The book also contains a list of approximately 190 references, an index and a preface. … the book is the first in the literature on the subject and is addressed to graduate students at an advanced level and to researchers and practitioners in the fields of nonlinear analysis, Riemannian geometry and applied mathematics.” (Constantin Zălinescu, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 a)
