This book offers a logically more complete form of macroscopic Maxwell equations than conventional ones, by applying long wavelength approximation to microscopic nonlocal theory, which solves problems inherent to the conventional scheme of Maxwell equations.

This book presents a self-contained exposition of the theory of cellular automata on groups and explores its deep connections with recent developments in geometric group theory and other branches of mathematics and theoretical computer science.

This self-contained account of the fundamental theory of field-matter interaction on a sub-wavelength scale deals with a range of material, including the quantum physical behavior of matter and the role of local-field effects and non-local electrodynamics.

This book covers the modular invariant theory of finite groups. It details techniques for the computation of invariants for many modular representations of finite groups, especially the cyclic group of prime order, and includes many examples.

This book establishes, for the first time, the potential application of NCO implementations to cryptographic primitives such as one-way functions, pseudorandom generators, encryption schemes and digital signatures. The author explores numerous key issues.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction into the classical topic of projective geometry. It explains how metric concepts may be best understood in projective terms and explores the beauty of the interplay of geometry, algebra and combinatorics.

This book shows how to use the CGAL two-dimensional arrangement package, first using small example programs, then describing programs for solving real-world problems. Later chapters are dedicated to large-scale applications written on top of CGAL arrangements.
