Abstract

 The challenge met by this book is to capture the beauty and excitement of work in this thriving field and to convey in a lucid manner the underlying theory and methodology. Many of the research results presented have been simplified, and new insights provided. Perhaps the most important aspect of the book is that it shows simple ways of talking about complex, powerful algorithmic ideas by giving intuitive proofs, by writing algorithms in plain English, and by providing numerous critical examples and illustrations." "This book will be of interest to the scientific community at large and in particular, to students and researchers in Computer Science, Operations Research, and Discrete Mathematics. It can be used both as a text in a graduate course on approximation algorithms and as a supplementary text in basic undergraduate and graduate courses on algorithms

קפה מוות

Abstract  ‫

"מי מפחד מ"קפה מוות"? מדי כמה שבועות לאחר השקיעה נפגשים ארבעה־עשר איש ואישה כדי לשתות קפה ולדבר על מוות.זאת לא התחלה של רומן בדיוני אפל כי אם תיאור של מפגשים אמיתיים בהחלט שהתקיימו בביתה של הפרופסור עמיה ליבליך כדי לשוחח בצוותא על הטאבו הגדול האחרון של החברה המערבית: המוות הבלתי נמנע של כל אחד ואחת מאיתנו. מפגשי־שיח קבוצתיים תחת הכותרת "קפה מוות" מלבלבים ברחבי העולם זה כעשור. לאחר שהתוודעה לרעיון אימצה אותו עמיה ליבליך מיד: כן לדבר על המוות, כן להתריס כנגד חשאיותו, אולי אפילו להגיע ליחסים נינוחים איתו. היא פירסמה הזמנה לקבוצת "קפה מוות" בביתה, הוצפה בעשרות פניות – אנשים משלל גילים, מקצועות, תחומי עניין ונסיבות חיים – ועד מהרה יצאו המפגשים לדרך. קפה מוות מתעד סדרת מפגשים כאלה, שמרביתה נערכה במהלך שנת 2016: קבוצה של נשים וגברים שיצאו למסע נפשי משותף, עמוק וסוער, שהתרחש בתוך חדר אחד; מסע של שנה שהוקלט ותומלל, ושבמהלכו שיתפו המשתתפים זה את זה – ובעיקר את עצמם – במחשבותיהם על המוות ועל משמעויותיו. ‬

 ‫ איננו מכירים את המוות, איש לא חזר ממנו כדי לספר עליו; החברה המערבית הרחיקה אותו אל בתי החולים ואל המוסדות הסיעודיים, והקסם האופף אותו דומה בעוצמתו לפחד שהוא שהוא מעורר. השיחות המעמיקות והכנות, המצחיקות והעצובות המכונסות בספר זה מזכירות לנו כי המוּדעוּת למוות יכולה גם לחדד את החיים, להעצים את יופיים ואת ערכם, ובעצם ללמד אותנו כיצד לחיות‬

Functional analysis

Providence, Rhode Island : American Mathematical Society, [2018]

 Contents

 Introduction -- Foundations -- Principles of functional analysis -- The weak and weak* topologies -- Fredholm theory -- Spectral theory -- Unbounded operators -- Semigroups of operators

Abstract

 Functional analysis is a central subject of mathematics with applications in many areas of geometry, analysis, and physics. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field for graduate students and researchers. It begins in Chapter 1 with an introduction to the necessary foundations, including the Arzela-Ascoli theorem, elementary Hilbert space theory, and the Baire Category Theorem. Chapter 2 develops the three fundamental principles of functional analysis (uniform boundedness, open mapping theorem, Hahn-Banach theorem) and discusses reflexive spaces and the James space. Chapter 3 introduces the weak and weak* topologies and includes the theorems of Banach-Alaoglu, Banach-Dieudonne, Eberlein-Smulyan, Krein-Milman, as well as an introduction to topological vector spaces and applications to ergodic theory. Chapter 4 is devoted to Fredholm theory. It includes an introduction to the dual operator and to compact operators, and it establishes the closed image theorem. Chapter 5 deals with the spectral theory of bounded linear operators. It introduces complex Banach and Hilbert spaces, the continuous functional calculus for self-adjoint and normal operators, the Gelfand spectrum, spectral measures, cyclic vectors, and the spectral theorem. Chapter 6 introduces unbounded operators and their duals. It establishes the closed image theorem in this setting and extends the functional calculus and spectral measure to unbounded self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces.

 Chapter 7 gives an introduction to strongly continuous semigroups and their infinitesimal generators. It includes foundational results about the dual semigroup and analytic semigroups, an exposition of measurable functions with values in a Banach space, and a discussion of solutions to the inhomogeneous equation and their regularity properties. The appendix establishes the equivalence of the Lemma of Zorn and the Axiom of Choice, and it contains a proof of Tychonoff’s theorem. With 10 to 20 elaborate exercises at the end of each chapter, this book can be used as a text for a one-or-two-semester course on functional analysis for beginning graduate students. Prerequisites are first-year analysis and linear algebra, as well as some foundational material from the second-year courses on point set topology, complex analysis in one variable, and measure and integration.

Abstract

 Discrete optimization problems are everywhere, from traditional operations research planning problems, such as scheduling, facility location, and network design; to computer science problems in databases; to advertising issues in viral marketing. Yet most such problems are NP-hard. Thus unless P = NP, there are no efficient algorithms to find optimal solutions to such problems. This book shows how to design approximation algorithms: efficient algorithms that find provably near-optimal solutions. The book is organized around central algorithmic techniques for designing approximation algorithms, including greedy and local search algorithms, dynamic programming, linear and semidefinite programming, and randomization. Each chapter in the first part of the book is devoted to a single algorithmic technique, which is then applied to several different problems. The second part revisits the techniques but offers more sophisticated treatments of them. The book also covers methods for proving that optimization problems are hard to approximate. Designed as a textbook for graduate-level algorithms courses, the book will also serve as a reference for researchers interested in the heuristic solution of discrete optimization problems P

Twenty lectures on algorithmic game theory

Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, [2016]

Contents  

Introduction and examples -- Mechanism design basics -- Myerson’s Lemma -- Algorithmic mechanism design -- Revenue-maximizing auctions -- Simple near-optimal auctions -- Multi-parameter mechanism design -- Spectrum auctions -- Mechanism design with payment constraints -- Kidney exchange and stable matching -- Selfish routing and the price of anarchy -- Over-provisioning and atomic selfish routing -- Equilibria : definitions, examples, and existence -- Robust price-of-anarchy bounds in smooth games -- Best-case and strong Nash equilibria -- Best-response dynamics -- No-regrets dynamics -- Swap regret and the Minimax theorem -- Pure Nash equilibria and the PLS-Completeness -- Mixed Nash equilibria and PPAD-completeness

Abstract

 Computer science and economics have engaged in a lively interaction over the past fifteen years, resulting in the new field of algorithmic game theory. Many problems that are central to modern computer science, ranging from resource allocation in large networks to online advertising, involve interactions between multiple self-interested parties. Economics and game theory offer a host of useful models and definitions to reason about such problems. The flow of ideas also travels in the other direction, and concepts from computer science are increasingly important in economics. This book grew out of the author’s Stanford University course on algorithmic game theory, and aims to give students and other newcomers a quick and accessible introduction to many of the most important concepts in the field. The book also includes case studies on online advertising, wireless spectrum auctions, kidney exchange, and network management

Abstract

 This book presents a rigorous introduction to the mathematics of game theory without losing sight of the joy of the subject. This is done by focusing on theoretical highlights (e.g., at least six Nobel Prize winning results are developed from scratch) and by presenting exciting connections of game theory to other fields such as computer science, economics, social choice, biology, and learning theory. Both classical topics, such as zero-sum games, and modern topics, such as sponsored search auctions, are covered. Along the way, beautiful mathematical tools used in game theory are introduced, including convexity, fixed-point theorems, and probabilistic arguments. The book is appropriate for a first course in game theory at either the undergraduate or graduate level, whether in mathematics, economics, computer science, or statistics.

A timely celebration of British design legend Sir Paul Smith and his one-of-a-kind creativity. This new monograph captures the unique spirit of British fashion icon Sir Paul Smith through 50 objects chosen by Sir Paul himself for the inspiration they have provided him over the years - from a wax plate of spaghetti and a Dieter Rams radio to a Mario Bellini Cab chair and a bicycle seat. Each object has impacted his worldview, his creative process, and his adherence to a design approach that’s always imbued with distinctly British wit and eccentricity

Abstract

 City streets abound with billboards, posters, and corporate advertising that almost invite a subversive response . . . and increasingly are getting one. Many of today’s graffiti artists have adopted the stencil and spray can, and are using the street as a giant creative forum for their arresting artwork. "The image," says San Diego artist Shepard Fairey, "is integrated with the texture of the street."" "Tristan Manco has chosen over 400 of the most visually exuberant, subtle, and creative examples of the genre from cities all over the world. With subject matter ranging from the political to the poetic, from the funky to the frankly curious, stencil graffiti is graphic innovation on an international scale. Inspirational in form and content, this book is an essential record for everyone with an interest in design or in contemporary urban culture
