Product Description

This book is dedicated to the memory of an outstanding mathematician and personality, Vladimir Petrovich Potapov, who made important contributions to and exerted considerable influence in the areas of operator theory, complex analysis and their points of juncture. The book commences with insightful biographical material, and then presents a collection of papers on different aspects of operator theory and complex analysis covering those recent achievements of the Odessa-Kharkov school in which Potapov was very active. The papers deal with interrelated problems and methods. The main topics are the multiplicative structure of contractive matrix and operator functions, operators in spaces with indefinite scalar products, inverse problems for systems of differential equations, interpolation and approximation problems for operator and matrix functions. The book will appeal to a wide group of mathematicians and engineers, and much of the material can be used for advanced courses and seminars.

Excerpt: Nikolay Nikolaevich Kradin (born in Onokhoy, Buryatia, USSR on April 17, 1962) is a Russian anthropologist and archaeologist. Since 1985 he has been a Research Fellow of the Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnology, Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Vladivostok. He is also (since 1999) Head and Professor of the Department of Social Anthropology in the Far-Eastern National Technical University. Nikolay Kradin's major contributions belong to three fields: Among other things Kradin has demonstrated that an alternative to the state seems to be represented by the supercomplex chiefdoms created by some nomads of Eurasia the number of the structural levels within such chiefdoms appear to be equal, or even to exceed those within the average state, but they have an entirely different type of political organization and political leadership; such type of political entities do not appear to have been ever created by the agriculturists. Kradin has written over 8 books and 300 articles dealing with his research interests. These include Nomadic Societies (1992 in Russian), The Hsiung-nu Empire (1966, 2001, 2002 in Russian), Political Anthropology (2001, 2004 in Russian), Chinggis Khan Empire (in co-authorship with T.Skrynnikova) 2006 in Russian), Nomads of Eurasia (2007 in Russian). ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15432982 ...
