New Book Anouncement
LINEAR ESTIMATION
T.Kailath, A. H. Sayed, and B. Hassibi
Prentice Hall, NJ, 2000
SIAM, PA. Hardcover. xviii+854 pages.
ISBN 0-13-022464-2
Descirption:
This textbook is intended for a graduate-level course and assumes
familiarity with basic concepts from matrix theory, linear algebra,
and linear system theory. Six appendices at the end of the book
provide the reader with enough background and review material in
all these areas.
This original work offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date
treatment of the important subject of optimal linear estimation,
which is encountered in many areas of engineering such as
communications, control, and signal processing, and also in several
other fields, e.g., econometrics and statistics. The book not
only highlights the most significant contributions to this
field during the 20th century, including the works of Wiener
and Kalman, but it does so in an original and novel manner that
paves the way for further developments in the new millennium.
This book contains a large collection of problems that complement
the text and are an important part of it, in addition to numerous
sections that offer interesting historical accounts and insights.
The book also includes several results that appear in print for
the first time.
The book takes a geometric point of view with:
a) Emphasis on the numerically favored array forms of many
algorithms.
b) Emphasis on equivalence and duality concepts for the
solution of several related problems in adaptive
filtering, estimation, and control.
These features are generally absent in most prior treatments,
ostensibly on the grounds that they are too abstract and
complicated. It is the authors' hope that these misconceptions
will be dispelled by the presentation herein, and that the
fundamental simplicity and power of these ideas will be more
widely recognized and exploited. Among other things, these
features already yielded new insights and new results for
linear and nonlinear problems in areas such as adaptive
filtering, quadratic control, and estimation, including the recent
H_oo theories.

Approximation and Complexity in Numerical Optimization
Continuous and Discrete Problems
edited by Panos M. Pardalos
NONCONVEX OPTIMIZATION AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 42
Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht (2000), 594 pp.
Hardbound, ISBN 0-7923-6275-6
There has been much recent progress in approximation algorithms for nonconvex
continuous and discrete problems, from both a theoretical and a practical
perspective. In discrete (or combinatorial) optimization many approaches
have been developed recently that link the discrete universe to the continuous
universe through geometric, analytic, and algebraic techniques. Such techniques
include global optimization formulations, semidefinite programming, and
spectral theory. As a result new approximate algorithms have been discovered
and many new computational approaches have been developed. Similarly, for
many continuous nonconvex optimization problems, new approximate algorithms
have been developed based on semidefinite programming and new randomization
techniques. On the other hand, computational complexity, originating from
the interactions between computer science and numerical optimization, is one
of the major theories that have revolutionized the approach to solving
optimization problems and to analyzing their intrinsic difficulty. The main
focus of complexity is the study of whether existing algorithms are efficient
for the solution of problems, and which problems are likely to be tractable.
The quest for developing efficient algorithms leads also to elegant general
approaches for solving optimization problems, and reveals surprising
connections among problems and their solutions. The two themes of approximation
and complexity pervade this book. Audience: Faculty, graduate students, and
researchers in mathematical programming, computer sciences and engineering.

Subject: New Book, Methods of Shape Preserving Spline Approximation
I am pleased to announce that the following book will appear
in the end of June or early July:
Boris I. Kvasov
METHODS OF SHAPE PRESERVING SPLINE APPROXIMATION
World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd, xvi+338 p., 2000
ISBN 981-02-4010-4
Summary:
Methods of shape-preserving spline approximation have proved to be of
practical value not only in the design of different products such as
car bodies, ship hulls, airplane fuselages and wings, etc. but also
in the description of geological, physical and even medical phenomena.
This book is a first attempt to present methods of shape-preserving
spline approximation in a systematic form.
Its primary aim is to describe some of the best techniques for solving
the shape-preserving approximation problem, by using a unified approach
based on generalized tension splines, and also to provide algorithms
of shape-preserving spline approximation with automatic selection of shape
control parameters. The book also addresses some of the current research
issues such as finite difference methods for the construction of
shape-preserving hyperbolic splines and the study of related discrete
generalized tension splines. The algorithms of shape-preserving
parametrization presented may be used to improve the quality of
representation of the shape-preserving spline curves and surfaces.
The emphasis is on efficient numerical algorithms and their
computer implementation. Our aim is to provide a mathematical
technique which will enable the readers to develop their own software for
generating, describing, modifying, and rendering shape-preserving curves
and surfaces.
