Secondorder Variational Analysis in Optimization Variational Stability And Control Theory Algorithms Applications

by Qing Zhao (Author), R Srikant (Editor)
Multi-armed bandit problems pertain to optimal sequential decision making and learning in unknown environments.

This concise book reviews methods used for gluing space-time manifolds together. It is therefore relevant to theorists working on branes, walls, domain walls, concepts frequently used in theoretical cosmology, astrophysics, and gravity theory. Nowadays, applications are also in theoretical condensed matter physics where Riemannian geometry appears. The book also reviews the history of matching conditions between two space-time manifolds from the early times of general relativity up to now.

This Briefs volume develops the theory of entire slice regular functions. It is the first self-contained, monographic work on the subject, offering all the necessary background information and detailed studies on several central topics, including estimates on the minimum modulus of regular functions, relations between Taylor coefficients and the growth of entire functions, density of their zeros, and the universality properties. The proofs presented here shed new light on the nature of the quaternionic setting and provide inspiration for further research directions.
