Book Description

There are many mathematics textbooks on real analysis, but they focus on topics not readily helpful for studying economic theory or they are inaccessible to most graduate students of economics. Real Analysis with Economic Applications aims to fill this gap by providing an ideal textbook and reference on real analysis tailored specifically to the concerns of such students.

The emphasis throughout is on topics directly relevant to economic theory. In addition to addressing the usual topics of real analysis, this book discusses the elements of order theory, convex analysis, optimization, correspondences, linear and nonlinear functional analysis, fixed-point theory, dynamic programming, and calculus of variations. Efe Ok complements the mathematical development with applications that provide concise introductions to various topics from economic theory, including individual decision theory and games, welfare economics, information theory, general equilibrium and finance, and intertemporal economics. Moreover, apart from direct applications to economic theory, his book includes numerous fixed point theorems and applications to functional equations and optimization theory.

The book is rigorous, but accessible to those who are relatively new to the ways of real analysis. The formal exposition is accompanied by discussions that describe the basic ideas in relatively heuristic terms, and by more than 1,000 exercises of varying difficulty.

This book will be an indispensable resource in courses on mathematics for economists and as a reference for graduate students working on economic theory.

Great book for mathematical economics.......2007-05-12

This is a very interesting book that explains real analysis focusing on economics issues and, I must say, it does its job beautifully and with no lack of rigour. When it comes to the mathematical aspects of microeconomics, the book turns out to be even better. A great book that will help very much Mas-Colell's Microeconomic Theory readers.

Book Description

Using a progressive but flexible format, this book contains a series of independent chapters that show how the principles and theory of real analysis can be applied in a variety of settings—in subjects ranging from Fourier series and polynomial approximation to discrete dynamical systems and nonlinear optimization. Users will be prepared for more intensive work in each topic through these applications and their accompanying exercises. Chapter topics under the abstract analysis heading include: the real numbers, series, the topology of R^n, functions, normed vector spaces, differentiation and integration, and limits of functions. Applications cover approximation by polynomials, discrete dynamical systems, differential equations, Fourier series and physics, Fourier series and approximation, wavelets, and convexity and optimization. For math enthusiasts with a prior knowledge of both calculus and linear algebra.

Errors, randomness, inconsistency.......2007-03-08

Riddled with many many many many errors (not just types or obvious errors, but errors in proofs and reasoning).

The order of the topics is also very poor, as authors often deal with very specific things for a long time (using definitions that really don't make sense unless you compare with general setting) then only get to general setting much later.

Too many errors - that says enough.

If you're just starting analysis, go elsewhere!.......2005-12-22

I am currently a graduate student, and we are using this book in my first-year graduate course in analysis. To be quite honest, I find this book utterly useless, except for looking up homework problems that are so hard you are forced to look elsewhere just to learn how to solve them! The authors spend way too little time building up the theory and just expect their readers to be able to follow what they're doing with very few examples (or ones too complicated to really illustrate what's going on), and then give problems where even the easier ones can seem near impossible. This book makes more sense as a graduate text, certainly, especially if you've already had analysis; in that case, then you may only need to see the major theorems as a refresher and then you can start right on the challenging problems.

However, if you're an undergrad and this is your first exposure to analysis, go elsewhere, please! My fellow grad students and I have gotten so frustrated over this book and its problems, and we've all had analysis before! If you've never had analysis before, I would suggest Bartle/Sherbert's Intro. to Real Analysis; they spend a good amount of time with examples and what I call "warm-up" homework problems to get you used to the concepts, followed by some doozies (and, yes; selected answers and hints are in the back!). If you're very strong in math, then perhaps Rudin's "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" may be more up your alley (aka Baby Rudin). Best of luck to you!

not for beginners!.......2005-04-22

I've been using this text for two semesters. I have to say this book is too advanced for starters, especially after chapter 6. My biggest complaint is the author does not provide enough examples to illustrate the theorems. A majority of the sections usually go like: 1. proposition of a theorem 2. proof 3. major theorem. 4. proof 5. corollary 6. proof 7. tons of hard problems left to homework.

I would suggest the author give more examples when showing off those hard theorems. It could be better if the author also provides solutions to (at least) half of the exercises at the end of each section. Remember your readers are not academic conference colleagues, but first-time undergrad students. We learn things from examples!

A little advanced, examples could be better.......2002-11-04

I'm a senior math major and am using this book in my Analysis I class. I find it a bit difficult to follow, and many students in my class agree that the examples are too few and lack simplicity. It would help if there was an answer key in the back of the book so that solutions could be confirmed. Also, the exercises are not very similar to the examples of a given section of a chapter. Lots of room for improvement.

To get started in analysis........2002-08-14

A well balanced book! The first solid analysis course, with proofs, is central in the offerings of any math.-dept.;-- and yet, the new books that hit the market don't always hit the mark: The balance between theory and applications, --between technical profs and intuitive ideas,--between classical and modern subjects, and between real life exercises vs. the ones that drill a new concept. The Davidson-Donsig book is outstanding, and it does hit the mark. The writing is both systematic and engaged.- Refreshing! Novel: includes wavelets, approximation theory, discrete dynamics, differential equations,
Fourier analysis, and wave mechanics.

Book Description

This concise, well-written handbook provides a distillation of the theory of real variables with a particular focus on the subject’s significant applications to differential equations and Fourier analysis. Ideal for the working engineer or scientist, the book uses ample examples and brief explanations---without a lot of proofs or axiomatic machinery---to give the reader quick, easy access to all of the key concepts and touchstone results of real analysis. Topics are systematically developed, beginning with sequences and series, and proceeding to topology, limits, continuity, derivatives, and Riemann integration. In the second half of the work, Taylor series, the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem, Fourier series, the Baire Category Theorem, and the Ascoli--Arzela Theorem are carefully discussed. Picard iteration and differential equations are treated in detail in the final chapter.

Key features:

* Completely self-contained, methodical exposition for the mathematically-inclined researcher; also valuable as a study guide for students

* Realistic, meaningful connections to ordinary differential equations, boundary value problems, and Fourier analysis

* Example-driven, incisive explanations of every important idea, with suitable cross-references for ease of use

* Illuminating applications of many theorems, along with specific how-to hints and suggestions

* Extensive bibliography and index

This unique handbook is a compilation of the major results, techniques, and applications of real analysis; it is a practical manual for physicists, engineers, economists, and others who use the fruits of real analysis but who do not necessarily have the time to appreciate all of the theory. Appropriate as a comprehensive reference or for a quick review, the "Handbook of Real Variables" will benefit a wide audience.

Book Description

Embedded systems have become indispensable in our lives: household appliances, cars, airplanes, power plant control systems, medical equipment, telecommunication systems, space technology, they all contain digital computing systems with dedicated functionality. Most of them, if not all, are real-time systems, i.e. their responses to stimuli have timeliness constraints.

The timeliness requirement has to be met despite some unpredictable, stochastic behaviour of the system. In this book, we address one cause of such stochastic behaviour, namely the application and platform-dependent stochastic task execution times.

The problem of accurately determining the deadline miss ratio of an application and to optimise the performance of a system taking the aforementioned ratio into consideration is extremely important as it has a significant impact on the cost of the end product.

Real-Time Applications with Stochastic Task Execution Times presents three approaches to the analysis of the deadline miss ratio of applications with stochastic task execution times. Each of the three approaches fits best to a different context. The first approach is an exact one and is efficiently applicable to monoprocessor systems. The second approach is an approximate one, which allows for designer-controlled trade-off between analysis accuracy and analysis speed. It is efficiently applicable to multiprocessor systems. The third approach is less accurate but sufficiently fast in order to be placed inside optimisation loops. Based on the last approach, we propose a heuristic for task mapping and priority assignment for deadline miss ratio minimisation.

From the author: The results of characterizing these roots are applied to two examples as a foundation for conclusions about those multiple root problems and hypotheses about other problems with multiple roots. The first example is an important class of resource development projects that may require significant expenditures for environmental remediation at the conclusion of operation. The second example of buying versus leasing a home is often used to demonstrate the value of economic analysis to students.
