Partition of Unity Methods
An understanding of the extended finite element method (XFEM) is critical for users, developers, researchers, and engineers working on industrial products. The first guide to the foundations of XFEM and its implementation, this book demystifies the theory behind this method and makes it accessible to anyone with previous knowledge of FEM. Readers will find examples and tools they can build upon when tackling complex problems, and download MATLAB routines from a companion website for help with implementation. A detailed account of applications of XFEM to fracture mechanics is also included. [368 Pages, Hardcover]

Innovation Diffusion Models
Innovation Diffusion Models Understand innovation diffusion models and their role in business success Innovation diffusion models are statistical models that predict the medium- and long-term sales performance of new products on a market. They account for numerous factors that contribute to the life cycle of a new product and are subject to continuous reassessment as markets transform and the business world becomes more complex. In a modern market environment where product life cycles are becoming ever shorter, the latest innovation diffusion models are essential for businesses looking to perfect their decision-making processes. Innovation Diffusion Models: Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to these models and their potential to impact product development. It focuses on the latest product diffusion models, which combine time series analysis with nonlinear regression techniques to create increasingly refined predictions. Its combination of mathematical theory and business practice makes it an indispensable tool across many sectors of industry and commerce. Innovation Diffusion Models readers will also find: * Real-world examples demonstrating the kinds of data sets generated by new product growth models and their potential applications * Discussion of the factors underlying the decision to select a given growth model for a particular product * Clear, detailed explanation of each model's explanatory ability Innovation Diffusion Models is an essential volume for practitioners in any field of industry or commerce, as well as for graduate students and researchers in business and finance.

Fuzzy Logic Applications in Computer Science and Mathematics
FUZZY LOGIC APPLICATIONS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICSTICS The prime objective of developing this book is to provide meticulous details about the basic and advanced concepts of fuzzy logic and its all-around applications to different fields of mathematics and engineering. The basic steps of fuzzy inference systems starting from the core foundation of the fuzzy concepts are presented in this book. The fuzzy theory is a mathematical concept and, at the same time, it is applied to many versatile engineering fields and research domains related to computer science. The fuzzy system offers some knowledge about uncertainty and is also related to the theory of probability. A fuzzy logic-based model acts as the classifier for many different types of data belonging to several classes. Covered in this book are topics such as the fundamental concepts of mathematics, fuzzy logic concepts, probability and possibility theories, and evolutionary computing to some extent. The combined fields of neural network and fuzzy domain (known as the neuro-fuzzy system) are explained and elaborated. Each chapter has been produced in a very lucid manner, with grading from simple to complex to accommodate the anticipated different audiences. The application-oriented approach is the unique feature of this book. Audience This book will be read and used by a broad audience including applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and industry engineers. [304 Pages, Hardcover]
