"Empire" by Integration is the first comprehensive survey of the American policy towards European integration from 1945 to the present day. Geir Lundestad argues that, unlike other Great Powers, the United States strongly supported the integration of the most important area under its influence: Western Europe. Taking a clear, chronological approach to the subject, "Empire" by Integration provides a succinct, provocative, and highly readable account of this crucial aspect of American-Western European relations.

Hybrid systems are formed when continuous and discrete-time systems are interconnected. The author’s goal in this book is to provide a detailed treatment of uncertainty analysis for sampled-data hybrid systems in the context of robust control theory. The book has a general scope in that it offers a widely applicable and unifying viewpoint that considers a large class of structured uncertainty problems arising in control, whether the system be hybrid, discrete-time or continuous-time. In the body of the text, operator theoretic tools and techniques are developed to address the central des

The Consistent Preferences Approach to Deductive Reasoning in Games presents, applies, and synthesizes what my co-authors and I have called the ’consistent preferences’ approach to deductive reasoning in games. Briefly described, this means that the object of the analysis is the ranking by each player of his own strategies, rather than his choice. The ranking can be required to be consistent (in different senses) with his beliefs about the opponent’s ranking of her strategies. This can be contrasted to the usual `rational choice’ approach where a player’s strategy

There are now (Q1 2009) more than 4 billion cellular subscribers in the world and this number is constantly growing. With this in mind it should be clear that use of mobile communication has already become both pervasive and ubiquitous. It has become a global commodity really. "Entity Authentication and Personal Privacy in Future Cellular Systems" aims at explaining and examining access security as it is found in mobile/cellular systems. A thorough investigation of how access security and personal privacy is handled in the 3GPP system is conducted. This includes both the 2G systems GSM/GPRS an

This book reviews popular data-assimilation methods, such as weak and strong constraint variational methods, ensemble filters and smoothers. The author shows how different methods can be derived from a common theoretical basis, as well as how they differ or are related to each other, and which properties characterize them, using several examples. Readers will appreciate the included introductory material and detailed derivations in the text, and a supplemental web site.

Robust control theory has been one of the most active areas of mainstream systems theory since the late 1970s. This research activity has been at the confluence of dynamical systems theory, functional analysis, matrix analysis, numerical methods, complexity theory, and engineering applications. The discipline has involved interactions between diverse research groups including pure mathematicians, applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers. A rather extensive set of approaches using a wide variety of mathematical techniques has been produced by the research effort, and applicati

This volume introduces particle image velocimetry (PIV), a technique for water wave measurement in the laboratory and in the open ocean. It discusses the turbulent dissipation, Reynolds stresses and vortical structures in boundary layers of the sea bed, as well as ships, ship wakes, propulsion hydrodynamics, cavitation and free surface waves. Upwelling behind crests of micro-breaking ocean surface waves (important for the exchange of greenhouse gases between air and water) and large amplitude internal solitons in the ocean are measured. The book includes velocities and accelerations in breakin
