Schur Parameters, Factorization and Dilation Problems


Free Download Schur Parameters, Factorization and Dilation Problems By Tiberiu Constantinescu (auth.)
1995 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 3034899106 | PDF | 8 MB
This book is devoted to the ubiquity of the Schur parameters. A dilation theoretic view leads to a unified perspective on several topics where Schur parameters appear as basic cells. Together with the transmission line, their physical counter- part, they appear in scattering theory, in modeling, prediction and filtering of nonstationary processes, in signal processing, geophysics and system theory. Modeling problems are considered for certain classes of operators, interpolation problems, determinental formulae, as well as connections with certain classes of graphs where, again, the Schur parameters could play a role. Some general algorithms that explore the transmission line are also presented in this book. As a whole, the text is self-contained and it is addressed to people interested in the previously mentioned topics or connections between them.

Parameters of Predicate Fronting


Free Download Vera Lee-Schoenfeld, "Parameters of Predicate Fronting "
English | ISBN: 0197545564 | 2021 | 232 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Many of the world’s languages permit or require clause-initial positioning of the primary predicate, potentially alongside some or all of its dependents. While such predicate fronting (where "fronting" may or may not involve movement) is a widespread phenomenon, it is also subject to intricate and largely unexplained variation.

Investigating Arabic Current Parameters in Analysis and Learning


Free Download Alaa Elgibali, "Investigating Arabic: Current Parameters in Analysis and Learning"
English | 2004 | pages: 238 | ISBN: 9004137920 | PDF | 1,5 mb
This book offers a wide range overview of current research issues in Arabic linguistics, extending from the general to the specific. It includes in depth investigations of theoretical and applied topics that are of interest to general and Arabic linguistics: computational analysis of Arabic, Arabic dialectology, acquisition of Arabic as a native language, learning and teaching Arabic as a first or foreign language, sociolinguistic analysis of Arabic, and the status of Arabic in European academe. Despite the seeming diversity of the topics, they fall thematically into two major inter-related categories, analysis and learning. Each chapter is a thoughtful reflection of a major current trend in the study of Arabic.
