Optimierung

This book concerns the theory of optimal transport (OT) and its applications to solving problems in geometric optics. It is a self-contained presentation including a detailed analysis of the Monge problem, the Monge-Kantorovich problem, the transshipment problem, and the network flow problem. A chapter on Monge-Ampère measures is included containing also exercises. A detailed analysis of the Wasserstein metric is also carried out. For the applications to optics, the book describes the necessa

È convinzione generale che la matematica sia una materia difficile da capire, che usa simboli esoterici e un linguaggio poco comprensibile, che sia soprattutto calcolo. Certamente, è una materia particolare, che ha bisogno di formule e che necessita di un linguaggio formale a volte molto sofisticato. Tuttavia, è anche una scienza piena di idee, che non hanno solo la funzione di progredire in una qualche teoria o di servire altre scienze per i loro modelli quantitativi. Come la filosofia, come

Menschen sind, egal ob im beruflichen oder im privaten Bereich ständig damit konfrontiert, Entscheidungen treffen zu müssen und es ist evident, dass es von Vorteil wäre, wenn es gelänge, möglichst viele gute und möglichst wenige schlechte Entscheidungen zu treffen. Die vorliegende Publikation widmet sich dieser Thematik aus einer deskriptiven und aus einer präskriptiven Sicht, wobei ökonomische, psychologische, neuro- und evolutionsbiologische Perspektiven eingenommen und sowohl analytisch-be
