Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This text provides an introduction to some of the best-known fixed-point theorems, with an emphasis on their interactions with topics in analysis. The level of exposition increases gradually throughout the book, building from a basic requirement of undergraduate proficiency to graduate-level sophistication. Appendices provide an introduction to (or refresher on) some of the prerequisite material and exercises are integrated into the text, contributing to the volumes ability to be used as a self-contained text. Readers will find the presentation especially useful for independent study or as a supplement to a graduate course in fixed-point theory.The material is split into four parts: the first introduces the Banach Contraction-Mapping Principle and the Brouwer Fixed-Point Theorem, along with a selection of interesting applications; the second focuses on Brouwers theorem and its application to John Nashs work; the third applies Brouwers theorem to spaces of infinite dimension; and the fourth rests on the work of Markov, Kakutani, and RyllNardzewski surrounding fixed points for families of affine maps.

Condition: Wie neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 390 (12) Seiten. 22 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Andreas Heilmann. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Eigentlich hat Homer Idlewilde kein Grund zur Klage. Denn Bier und Pfannekuchen gibt es genug in der kleinen Stadt Farrango in Kalifornien, in der er seine beschauliche und wohl behütete Heimat hat. Und genug Menschen, mit denen er skurrile philosophische Gespräche führen kann, gibt es auch. Und dann ist da noch das Bordell mit Ophelia, in deren Armen er am liebsten eines Tages sterben würde. Für Ophelia würde er sogar sein süßes Nichtstun aufgeben und sich als Förster in die Idylle der Gemeinschaft integrieren. Als dann plötzlich eine Sternschnuppe am Himmel auftaucht, ergibt sich die Gelegenheit, den Wunsch zu einem bedeutungsvolleren Leben in Erfüllung gehen zu lassen. Von nun an verändert sich Idlewildes Leben nachdrücklich und er schlittert in eine wahre Odyssee bemerkenswerter Abenteuer, von denen die Begegnung mit Umweltverschmutzern, bei der Homer nur mit einer Radkappe ?bekleidet? auftritt, noch die unspektakulärste ist. Der mit dem Prix Goncourt des Lycéens ausgezeichnete Roman Das zufällige Leben des Homer Idlewilde des 33-jährigen französisch-amerikanischen Autors Yann Apperry ist ein wundervolles Buch, das auf poetische Art und Weise sehr viel vom Leben selbst erzählt. Und es ist selbst das Ergebnis einer Geschichte, die nur das Leben schreiben kann. Denn Apperry wollte nach dem Erfolg seines Debüts Diabolus in musica aufhören mit der Schriftstellerei und vagabundierte auf der Flucht vor der Presse lieber zwei Jahre quer durch die USA. Dass es dann doch anders kam, ist ein Glück für alle Leser. Denn so ist Das zufällige Leben des Homer Idlewilde entstanden, in dem es auch immer anders kommt, als man erwartet. --Isa Gerck. - Yann Apperry, geb.1972, ist der Sohn einer Amerikanerin und eines Franzosen. Er wuchs in Frankreich und Kalifornien auf. Im Herbst 2000 erhielt der bis dahin unbekannte junge Autor den renommierten Prix Médicis für seinen Roman Blue Notes. Im Herbst 2005 erschien bei Aufbau sein Roman Das zufällige Leben des Homer Idlewilde, für den er mit dem Prix Goncourt des Lycéens ausgezeichnet wurde. Die französische Kritik nennt Yann Apperry eine der größten literarischen Hoffnungen am Beginn dieses Jahrhunderts. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 588 Heller Pappband mit Schutzumschlag.
