A Course of Modern Analysis

TL;DR: The volume now gives a somewhat exhaustive account of the various ramifications of the subject, which are set out in an attractive manner and should become indispensable, not only as a textbook for advanced students, but as a work of reference to those whose aim is to extend the knowledge of analysis.
Abstract: This classic work has been a unique resource for thousands of mathematicians, scientists and engineers since its first appearance in 1902 Never out of print, its continuing value lies in its thorough and exhaustive treatment of special functions of mathematical physics and the analysis of differential equations from which they emerge The book also is of historical value as it was the first book in English to introduce the then modern methods of complex analysis This fifth edition preserves the style and content of the original, but it has been supplemented with more recent results and references where appropriate All the formulas have been checked and many corrections made A complete bibliographical search has been conducted to present the references in modern form for ease of use A new foreword by Professor SJ Patterson sketches the circumstances of the book's genesis and explains the reasons for its longevity A welcome addition to any mathematician's bookshelf, this will allow a whole new generation to experience the beauty contained in this text

TL;DR: In this article, exactly solved models of statistical mechanics are discussed. But they do not consider exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics, which is a special issue in the statistical mechanics of the classical two-dimensional faculty of science.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce and study the most basic properties of three new variational problems which are suggested by applications to computer vision, and study their application in computer vision.
Abstract: : This reprint will introduce and study the most basic properties of three new variational problems which are suggested by applications to computer vision. In computer vision, a fundamental problem is to appropriately decompose the domain R of a function g (x,y) of two variables. This problem starts by describing the physical situation which produces images: assume that a three-dimensional world is observed by an eye or camera from some point P and that g1(rho) represents the intensity of the light in this world approaching the point sub 1 from a direction rho. If one has a lens at P focusing this light on a retina or a film-in both cases a plane domain R in which we may introduce coordinates x, y then let g(x,y) be the strength of the light signal striking R at a point with coordinates (x,y); g(x,y) is essentially the same as sub 1 (rho) -possibly after a simple transformation given by the geometry of the imaging syste. The function g(x,y) defined on the plane domain R will be called an image. What sort of function is g? The light reflected off the surfaces Si of various solid objects O sub i visible from P will strike the domain R in various open subsets R sub i. When one object O1 is partially in front of another object O2 as seen from P, but some of object O2 appears as the background to the sides of O1, then the open sets R1 and R2 will have a common boundary (the 'edge' of object O1 in the image defined on R) and one usually expects the image g(x,y) to be discontinuous along this boundary.

TL;DR: The theory of atoms with one or two electrons is the simplest and most completely treated field of application of quantum mechanics as mentioned in this paper, and it is one of the simplest fields of application for quantum mechanics.
Abstract: One of the simplest, and most completely treated, fields of application of quantum mechanics is the theory of atoms with one or two electrons For hydrogen and the analcgous ions He+, Li++, etc, the calculations can be performed exactly, both in Schrodinger’s nonrelativistic wave mechanics and in Dirac’s relativistic theory of the electron More specifically, the calculations are exact for a single electron in a fixed Coulomb potential Hydrogen-like atoms thus furnish an excellent way of testing the validity of quantum mechanics For such atoms the correction terms due to the motion and structure of atomic nuclei and due to quantum electrodynamic effects are small and can be calculated with high accuracy Since the energy levels of hydrogen and similar atoms can be investigated experimentally to an astounding degree of accuracy, some accurate tests of the validity of quantum electrodynamics are also possible Finally, the theory of such atoms in an external electric or magnetic field has also been developed in detail and compared with experiment
