{"product_id":"eigenvalues-inequalities-and-ergodic-theory-mu-fa-chen-9781852338688","title":"Eigenvalues, Inequalities, and Ergodic Theory","description":"A problem of broad interest - the estimation of the spectral gap for matrices or differential operators (Markov chains or diffusions) - is covered in this book. In particular, it studies a subset of the general problem, taking some approaches that have, up till now, only appeared largely in the Chinese literature. Eigenvalues, Inequalities and Ergodic Theory serves as an introduction to this developing field, and provides an overview of the methods used in an accessible and concise manner. Each chapter starts with a summary and, in order to appeal to non-specialists, ideas are introduced through simple examples rather than technical proofs. In the latter chapters readers are introduced to problems and application areas, including stochastic models of economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mu-Fa Chen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1852338687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852338688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.54w x 0.67d","brand":"Mu-Fa Chen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424502104319,"sku":"9781852338688","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17587e53-7cd9-45fe-930d-8774b84b0f48.jpg?v=1761530641","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eigenvalues-inequalities-and-ergodic-theory-mu-fa-chen-9781852338688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
