This book describes the Su-25's development history and its extensive combat career starting with Operation Romb. The type's Afghan War involvement receives extensive coverage as does the Su-25's use in the Chechen Wars. A detailed list is given of the type's many operators, which even included a NATO country.
Noncommutative Functional Calculus: Theory and Applications of Slice Hyperholomorphic Functions (2011)
This book presents a functional calculus for n-tuples of not necessarily commuting linear operators. In particular, a functional calculus for quaternionic linear operators is developed. These calculi are based on a new theory of hyperholomorphicity for functions with values in a Clifford algebra: the so-called slice monogenic functions which are carefully described in the book. In the case of functions with values in the algebra of quaternions these functions are named slice regular functions.
This volume contains solicited articles by speakers at the workshop ranging from expository surveys to original research papers, each of which carefully refereed. They all bear witness to the very rich mathematics that is connected with the study of elementary operators, may it be multivariable spectral theory, the invariant subspace problem or tensor products of C*-algebras.
This book provides a very useful teaching tool suitable for use by both undergraduates and post-graduates, who have chosen to include a financial element in their studies. There are many numbered illustrations and a CD-Rom for practical application.
The work is also aimed at professionals working in the market (private or business fund managers or pension managers, market operators and business managers), risk managers and asset and liability managers, auditors and people working generally in the field of risk management.
A collection of lectures on functional analysis and applications. Areas addressed include: sets, spaces and functions; integrals; topological spaces; spaces of operators and functionals; linear operators; spectral theory of linear operators; and nonlinear problems of functional analysis. This book is intended for those having only a moderate background in mathematics, who need to increase their mathematical knowledge for development in their areas of work and to read the related mathematical literature.
