Interpolation, Schur Functions and Moment Problems II


Free Download Interpolation, Schur Functions and Moment Problems II By Bernd Fritzsche, Bernd Kirstein (auth.), Daniel Alpay, Bernd Kirstein (eds.)
2012 | 302 Pages | ISBN: 303480427X | PDF | 3 MB
The origins of Schur analysis lie in a 1917 article by Issai Schur in which he constructed a numerical sequence to correspond to a holomorphic contractive function on the unit disk. These sequences are now known as Schur parameter sequences. Schur analysis has grown significantly since its beginnings in the early twentieth century and now encompasses a wide variety of problems related to several classes of holomorphic functions and their matricial generalizations. These problems include interpolation and moment problems as well as Schur parametrization of particular classes of contractive or nonnegative Hermitian block matrices. This book is primarily devoted to topics related to matrix versions of classical interpolation and moment problems. The major themes include Schur analysis of nonnegative Hermitian block Hankel matrices and the construction of Schur-type algorithms. This book also covers a number of recent developments in orthogonal rational matrix functions, matrix-valued Carathéodory functions and maximal weight solutions for particular matricial moment problems on the unit circle.​

A Moment of Danger Critical Studies in the History of U.S. Communication Since World War II


Free Download Janice Peck, Inger L. Stole, "A Moment of Danger: Critical Studies in the History of U.S. Communication Since World War II"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0874620341 | PDF | pages: 419 | 3.8 mb
In A Moment of Danger: Critical Studies in the History of U.S. Communication Since World War II, Janice Peck and Inger L. Stole have collected sixteen essays that examine the remarkable role that media have played in post-WWII U.S. history. From an examination of the impact that the cold war and Senator McCarthy had on media content in the 1950s to an analysis of the role that Oprah Winfrey has played in shaping understandings of race in American culture, A Moment of Danger offers a wide array of critical studies, all of which, however, aim at thinking carefully not only about the way in which the modes of media keep us in contact with the world, but also about how they shape the way we understand ourselves and our world.

Greenian Moment T. H. Green, Religion and Political Argument in Victorian Tain Britain


Free Download Denys Leighton, "Greenian Moment: T. H. Green, Religion and Political Argument in Victorian Tain Britain"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 0907845541 | PDF | pages: 375 | 2.3 mb
This study of T.H. Green views his philosophical opus through his public life and political commitments, and it uses biography as a lens through which to examine Victorian political culture and its moral climate. The book deals with the political and religious history of Victorian Britain in examining the basis of Green’s Liberal partisanship. It demonstrates how his main ethical and political conceptions―his idea of "self-realisation" and his theory of individuality within community―were informed by evangelical theology, popular Protestantism and an idea of the English national consciousness as formed by religious conflict. While the significance of Kantian and Hegelian elements in Green’s thought is acknowledged, it is argued that "indigenous" qualities of Green’s teachings resonated with values shared alike by elite and rank-and-file Liberals during the mid and late Victorian era. In examining Green’s beliefs about the historical evolution of English liberty, his championing of (Liberal) Nonconformity and Nonconformist causes and his approval of religious bases of community, this study analyzes the ripening of a Greenian moment and traces Green’s influence on Liberal, quasi-socialist and Conservative social reform down to the 1920s. The lasting impact of Green’s teachings on British and Western political philosophy, apparent in the current vogue for communitarianism in liberal theory, indicates limitations of the "secularization thesis" still tacitly accepted by historians of Western political thought.
