About this title

Synopsis

The papers in this volume were presented at an International Symposium on Optimal Estimation in Approximation Theory which was held in Freudenstadt, Federal Republic of Germany, September 27-29, 1976. The symposium was sponsored by the IBM World Trade Europe/Middle East/Africa Corporation, Paris, and IBM Germany. On behalf of all the participants we wish to express our appreciation to the spon� sors for their generous support. In the past few years the quantification of the notion of com� plexity for various important computational procedures (e. g. multi� plication of numbers or matrices) has been widely studied. Some such concepts are necessary ingredients in the quest for optimal, or nearly optimal, algorithms. The purpose of this symposium was to present recent results of similar character in the field or ap� proximation theory, as well as to describe the algorithms currently being used in important areas of application of approximation theory such as: crystallography, data transmission systems, cartography, reconstruction from x-rays, planning of radiation treatment, optical perception, analysis of decay processes and inertial navigation system control. It was the hope of the organizers that this con� frontation of theory and practice would be of benefit to both groups. Whatever success th�~ symposium had is due, in no small part, to the generous and wise scientific counsel of Professor Helmut Werner, to whom the organizers are most grateful. Dr. T. J. Rivlin Dr. P.

Store Description

Transformer Books is now trading as a mail order seller almost exclusively. Specialist subjects are sciences, foreign languages, and science fiction and fantasy, with substantial selections also in crime fiction, academic and general interest. Enquiries by mail or email are welcome; especially since only a portion of the stock is listed online so far. For environmental reasons we make it a policy to recycle whatever packaging materials we can. Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping rates are now based on 500g book, to be fairer in these days of steadily increasing postage prices, to buyers of average and smaller sized books; for heavier books we will Request Extra Shipping to the correct amount. Similarly cost of a 2nd book is based on an increment of not more than 500g, and we will request Extra Shipping if a combined parcel will cost more. Surface mail virtually does not now exist, and the distinction between Priority and Economy is now between Airmail Tracked/Signed delivery and Standard Airmail. We now use Request Additional Shipping for the tracked/signed supplement as well as on higher weights, since the postal services are in chaos at present and are currently unreliable regarding losses. Unfortunately booksellers have no influence on the postal services. Current Conditions. Since international postal services are almost universally in chaos at present, largely Covid-generated, with huge delays and some losses, I have removed the Standard airmail option from non-European destinations for the duration.
