Structures, Syntactic Computations And Acquisition

This book examines the success story of Seng Heng Bank (SHB), the successful acquisition of SHB by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), and the continuing sound management and performance of ICBC (Macau).

This treatise investigates a number of problems related to treewidth and pathwidth of graphs. The main objective is to obtain good bounds on the complexity of determining the treewidth and pathwidth for various classes of graphs. Originating from the author's Ph.D. thesis, this monograph presents original own work. Nevertheless, many interesting perspectives beyond are presented. In total, the book is a smooth introduction to the topic of graphs of bounded treewidth. It will help to satisfy the strong interest among the algorithmic graph theory community in the theory pertaining to the topic. Particularly valuable is the thorough survey given of the relevant current literature.

Matrix algebra is one of the most important areas of mathematics for data analysis and for statistical theory. This much-needed work presents the relevant aspects of the theory of matrix algebra for applications in statistics. It moves on to consider the various types of matrices encountered in statistics, such as projection matrices and positive definite matrices, and describes the special properties of those matrices.
