Since publication of the initial papers in 2006, compressed sensing has captured the imagination of the international signal processing community, and the mathematical foundations are nowadays quite well understood.Parallel to the progress in mathematics, the potential applications of compressed sensing have been explored by many international groups of, in particular, engineers and applied mathematicians, achieving very promising advances in various areas such as communication theory, imaging sciences, optics, radar technology, sensor networks, or tomography.Since many applications have reached a mature state, the research center MATHEON in Berlin focusing on "Mathematics for Key Technologies", invited leading researchers on applications of compressed sensing from mathematics, computer science, and engineering to the "MATHEON Workshop 2013: Compressed Sensing and its Applications¿ in December 2013. It was the first workshop specifically focusing on the applications of compressed sensing. This book features contributions by the plenary and invited speakers of this workshop. To make this book accessible for those unfamiliar with compressed sensing, the book will not only contain chapters on various applications of compressed sensing written by plenary and invited speakers, but will also provide a general introduction into compressed sensing.The book is aimed at both graduate students and researchers in the areas of applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering as well as other applied scientists interested in the potential and applications of the novel methodology of compressed sensing. For those readers who are not already familiar with compressed sensing, an introduction to the basics of this theory will be included.

This brief examines a deterministic, ODE-based model for gene regulatory networks (GRN) that incorporates nonlinearities and time-delayed feedback. One chapter is devoted to the analysis of GRNs under negative feedback with time delays and a special case of a homogenous GRN is considered.

Die Erforschung von Tropenkrankheiten rückt immer stärker in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses von Wissenschaft, Politik und Öffentlichkeit. Tropenkrankheiten werden immer häufiger zu einer gesundheitlichen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Belastung für viele Länder. Massnahmen zur Prävention und Therapie werden gefordert. Die Molekularbiologie trägt dazu bei, Infektionsmechanismen auf molekularer Ebene zu klären und so neue Therapieformen zu entwickeln. Das Buch beleuchtet ausgewählte wichtige Tropenkrankheiten (inklusive sogenannter ¿neglected diseases") neu auch aus dem Blickwinkel der Molekularbiologie. Jeder Krankheit ist ein Kapitel gewidmet, übersichtlich strukturiert und leicht verständlich geschrieben. Glossar, Literaturverzeichnis und Stichwortregister runden das Buch ab. Die sorgfältig recherchierten Texte stellen eine fundierte Informationsquelle für interessierte Kreise aus Medizin und Biologie sowie Tropenreisende, Studenten, Lehrer und alle, die sich für Tropenkrankheiteninteressieren, dar.

Matroid theory was invented in the middle of the 1930s by two mathematicians independently, namely, Hassler Whitney in the USA and Takeo Nakasawa in Japan. Just as Nazism became more and more flamboyant in Europe in the 1930s, Japan became more and more esoteric and fanatical in the same time period.

Geometric flows have many applications in physics and geometry. The mean curvature flow also has many geometric applications, in analogy with the Ricci flow of metrics on abstract riemannian manifolds.

In der Monographie wird ein systematischer Aufbau der Analysis unter Be­ nutzung des Limitierungsbegriffs vorgenommen. Insbesondere werden die Theorie der Limesräume und limesuniformen Räume, die limitierte Algebra und die allgemeine Differentialrechnung entwickelt. Die Notwendigkeit, den Topologiebegriff abzuschwächen und ihn durch den - wie sich zeigt - bedeutend leistungsfähigeren Begriff der Limitierung zu ersetzen, ergibt sich bei einer Reihe von Problemen in Abbildungsräumen. Wir führen zwei Beispiele an. Bekanntlich existiert zu topologischen, ja sogar zu separierten topologischen Räumen X und Y im allgemeinen keine gröbste Topologie von C(X, Y), bezüglich der die Evaluationsabbildung w von C(X, Y) X X in Y stetig ist, was zur Folge hat, daß die Kategorien aller topologischen Räume und aller HAusDoRFF-Räume nicht cartesisch abge­ schlossen sind. Es existiert aber stets eine gröbste Limitierung von C(X, Y), bezüglich der w stetig ist, und die Kategorien aller pseudotopologischen und aller separierten pseudotopologischen Räume sind cartesisch abgeschlossen. Nach dem Satz von KELLER-MAISSEN gibt es zu separierten lokalkonvexen topologischen Vektorräumen X und Y nur dann eine Vektorraumtopologie von L(X, Y), bezüglich der die Evaluationsabbildung von L(X, Y) X X in Y stetig ist, wenn X normierbar ist, weshalb zum Beispiel die Kategorien aller topologischen Vektorräume und aller separierten lokalkonvexen topolo­ gischen Vektorräume bezüglich Tensorprodukte keine abgeschlossenen Kate­ gorien bilden. Die Kategorien aller pseudotopologischen Vektorräume und aller in einem engeren Sinne separierten lokalkonvexen pseudotopologischen Vektorräume sind hingegen, als symmetrische monoidale Kategorien bezüglich Tensorprodukte, abgeschlossen.

This book is an introduction to several active research topics in Foliation Theory and its connections with other areas. It contains expository lectures showing the diversity of ideas and methods converging in the study of foliations. The lectures by Aziz El Kacimi Alaoui provide an introduction to Foliation Theory with emphasis on examples and transverse structures. Steven Hurder's lectures apply ideas from smooth dynamical systems to develop useful concepts in the study of foliations: limit sets and cycles for leaves, leafwise geodesic flow, transverse exponents, Pesin Theory and hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic types of foliations. The lectures by Masayuki Asaoka compute the leafwise cohomology of foliations given by actions of Lie groups, and apply it to describe deformation of those actions. In his lectures, Ken Richardson studies the properties of transverse Dirac operators for Riemannian foliations and compact Lie group actions, and explains a recently proved index formula. Besides students and researchers of Foliation Theory, this book will be interesting for mathematicians interested in the applications to foliations of subjects like Topology of Manifolds, Differential Geometry, Dynamics, Cohomology or Global Analysis.
