Forthcoming Introduction to Ramsey Spaces Stevo Todorcevic

Ramsey theory is a fast-growing area of combinatorics with deep connections to other fields of mathematics such as topological dynamics, ergodic theory, mathematical logic, and algebra. The area of Ramsey theory dealing with Ramsey-type phenomena in higher dimensions is particularly useful. Introduction to Ramsey Spaces presents in a systematic way a method for building higher-dimensional Ramsey spaces from basic one-dimensional principles. It is the first book-length treatment of this area of Ramsey theory, and emphasizes applications for related and surrounding fields of mathematics, such as set theory, combinatorics, real and functional analysis, and topology. In order to facilitate ac- cessibility, the book gives the method in its axiomatic form with examples that cover many important parts of Ramsey theory both finite and infinite.

Stevo Todorcevic is professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto and holds senior research positions at the CNRS in Paris and SANU in Belgrade.

Forthcoming Numerical Methods for Stochastic Computations A Spectral Method Approach Dongbin Xiu

The first graduate-level textbook to focus on fundamental aspects of numerical methods for stochas- tic computations, this book describes the class of numerical methods based on generalized polyno- mial chaos (gPC). These fast, efficient, and accurate methods are an extension of the classical spectral methods of high-dimensional random spaces. Designed to simulate complex systems subject to random inputs, these methods are widely used in many areas of computer science and engineering.

Dongbin Xiu is associate professor of mathematics at Purdue University.

Graduate & Undergraduate Textbooks • 13 Forthcoming Nonnegative and Compartmental Dynamical Systems Wassim M. Haddad, VijaySekhar Chellaboina & Qing Hui

This comprehensive book provides the first unified framework for stability and dissipativity analysis and control design for nonnegative and compart- mental dynamical systems, which play a key role in a wide range of fields, including engineering, thermal sciences, biology, ecology, economics, genetics, chemistry, medicine, and sociology. Using the highest standards of exposition and rigor, the authors explain these systems and advance the state of the art in their analysis and active control design.

Wassim M. Haddad is professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. VijaySekhar Chellaboina works for Tata Consultancy Services in Hyderabad, India. Qing Hui is assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University.
