  • The Golden Ticket

    P, NP, and the Search for the Impossible

    by Lance Fortnow ...
    The P-NP problem is the most important open problem in computer science, if not all of mathematics. The Golden Ticket provides a nontechnical introduction to P-NP, its rich history, and its algorithmic implications for everything we do with computers and beyond. In this informative and entertaining book, Lance Fortnow traces how the problem arose during the Cold War on both sides of the Iron ... Read more

  • Ergodic Optimization in the Expanding Case

    Concepts, Tools and Applications

    by Eduardo Garibaldi ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)

  • Infinite-Horizon Optimal Control in the Discrete-Time Framework

    by Joël Blot, Naïla Hayek ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In this book the authors take a rigorous look at the infinite-horizon discrete-time optimal control theory from the viewpoint of Pontryagin’s principles. Several Pontryagin principles are described which govern systems and various criteria which define the notions of optimality, along with a detailed analysis of how each Pontryagin principle relate to each other. The Pontryagin principle is ... Read more
