The calculus of variations is a beautiful subject with a rich history and with origins in the minimization problems of calculus. Although it is now at the core of many modern mathematical fields, it does not have a well-defined place in most undergraduate mathematics curricula. This volume should nevertheless give the undergraduate reader a sense of its great character and importance. Interesting functionals, such as area or energy, often give rise to problems whose most natural solution occurs by differentiating a one-parameter family of variations of some function. The c

Provides a timely and important introduction to fuzzy cluster analysis, its methods and areas of application, systematically describing different fuzzy clustering techniques so the user may choose methods appropriate for his problem. It provides a very thorough overview of the subject and covers classification, image recognition, data analysis and rule generation. The application examples are highly relevant and illustrative, and the use of the techniques are justified and well thought-out. Features include: * Sections on inducing fuzzy if-then rules by fuzzy clustering and non-a

A Contrarian Approach to Earning Profits in Mature Markets How do companies in mature markets—where savings from cost-cutting have been exhausted and breakthrough innovations are hard to come by—achieve sustainable increases in profits? For decades, managers have been told the answer lies in pursuing high market share. But Hermann Simon, Frank F. Bilstein, and Frank Luby argue that this misguided advice has destroyed, rather than created, an additional profit potential. In Manage for Profit, Not for Share, the authors contend that companies can extract a profit potential of 1%-3 % of revenue
