Fast Boundary Element Methods Flexible AC Transmission Systems: in Engineering and Industrial Modelling and Control Applications The extended and revised second edition of this successful monograph presents advanced modeling, This volume contains eight state of the art analysis and control techniques of Flexible AC contributions on mathematical aspects and Transmission Systems (FACTS). The book covers applications of fast boundary element methods in comprehensively a range of power-system control engineering and industry. This covers the analysis problems: from steady-state voltage and power flow and numerics of boundary integral equations by control, to voltage and reactive power control, to using differential forms, preconditioning of hp voltage stability control, to small signal stability boundary element methods, the application of fast control using FACTS controllers. In the six years boundary element methods for solving challenging since the first edition of the book has been published problems in magnetostatics, the simulation of research on the FACTS has continued to flourish micro electro mechanical systems, and for contact while renewable energy has developed into a mature problems in solid mechanics.

Selected Works of E. L. Lehmann

These volumes present a selection of Erich L. Lehmann’s monumental contributions to Statistics. These works are multifaceted. His early work included fundamental contributions to hypothesis testing, theory of point estimation, and more generally to decision theory. His work in Nonparametric Statistics was groundbreaking. His fundamental contributions in this area include results that came to assuage the anxiety of statisticians that were skeptical of nonparametric methodologies, and his work on concepts of dependence has created a large literature.The two volumes are divided into chapters of related works. Invited contributors have critiqued the papers in each chapter, and the reprinted group of papers follows each commentary. A complete bibliography that contains links to recorded talks by Erich Lehmann – and which are freely accessible to the public – and a list of Ph.D. students are also included. These volumes belong in every statistician’s personal collection and are a required holding for any[..]
