This book presents an approximation theory for a general class of nonlinear evolution equations in Banach spaces and the semigroup theory, including the linear (Hille-Yosida), nonlinear (Crandall-Liggett) and time-dependent (Crandall-Pazy) theorems.The implicit finite difference method of Euler is shown to generate a sequence convergent to the unique integral solution of evolution equations of the maximal monotone type. Moreover, the Chernoff theory provides a sufficient condition for consistent and stable time integration of time-dependent nonlinear equations. The Trotter-Kato theorem and the Lie-Trotter type product formula give a mathematical framework for the convergence analysis of numerical approximations of solutions to a general class of partial differential equations. This book contains examples demonstrating the applicability of the generation as well as the approximation theory.In addition, the Kobayashi-Oharu approach of locally quasi-dissipative operators is discussed for homogeneous as well as nonhomogeneous equations. Applications to the delay differential equations, Navier-Stokes equation and scalar conservation equation are given.

In the not too distant future, Earth’s natural resources were no longer enough to sustain the growing population. Mankind’s neglect and greed has brought their home to its knees. War wage across the globe. On the brink of extinction, peace was finally established and the search for survival was all that remained. New developments in technology helped to bring Earth back to life before it was too late. Time passed and man had a renewed strength. Space provided an abundance of new riches. But the cycle of man’s past always resurfaces. Advancements in genetics and technology gives birth to greed and power. New enemies are found. When forces collide as secrets are revealed, the last side standing will hold the future of the human race in the palm of their hands

Dominic Emerson heads out to work to find that the city around him has completely changed since the night before. A zombie apocalypse has overtaken the nation. In the course of one night, everything has changed for the worst. It is up to Dom and his three brothers to find their friends and family and bring them to safety. As they make their way through the city, zombies attack endlessly. The boys have armed themselves, and they are constantly on guard. One bite or scratch means game over. They have seen the tragic results. Unfortunately, the zombies are not their only concern. In a world run amok, humans have a way of going bad, too. The Emerson brothers are leaders for good. They seek to find safety for themselves and the people they love, but there are others with nothing but evil intent. Now, they must fight zombies and their fellow man as they struggle to stay alive and find a safe haven before they too become victims of the undead.

Iterative Methods for Fixed Points of Nonlinear Operators offers an introduction into iterative methods of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings, pseudo-contrations in Hilbert Spaces and in Banach Spaces. Iterative methods of zeros for accretive mappings in Banach Spaces and monotone mappings in Hilbert Spaces are also discussed. It is an essential work for mathematicians and graduate students in nonlinear analysis.

Fast SOA teaches readers how to apply native XML technology to SOA. This book discusses applications in data mediation using mid-tier data and service caching to handle the explosion of new schemas and new devices in an ever changing environment; data aggregation in the SOA middle-tier for off-line browsing, service acceleration through mid-tier caching and transformation, and bandwidth-needs reduction; increased service and application scalability and performance; successful evaluations of application server, XML parser, relational and native XML database, Enterprise Service Bus, Business Integration server, workflow server, and Web Service tools for performance, scalability, and developer productivity; improved service governance through XML persistence in SOA registries and repositories; and composite data services (CDS) to provide maximum reuse of software components and data, accelerate performance, and reduce development time and maintenance in your SOA. This book is recommended for software and data architects, IT application developers, and IT managers who are developing the next generation of web services and service oriented architectures. - Data mediation using mid-tier data and service caching to handle the explosion of new schemas and new devices in an ever changing environment - Data aggregation in the SOA middle-tier for off-line browsing, service acceleration through mid-tier caching and transformation, and bandwidth-needs reduction - Increased service and application scalability and performance - Successful evaluations of application server, XML parser, relational and native XML database, Enterprise Service Bus, Business Integration server, workflow server, and Web Service tools for performance, scalability, and developer productivity - Improved service governance through XML persistence in SOA registries and repositories - Composite data services (CDS) to provide maximum reuse of software components and data, accelerate performance, and reduce development time and maintenance in your SOA

I do what I have to do, and more than often, I crave it. Everything about her was tempting. Her beautiful eyes that pierced into me, her body that was made for sin. She came to pay off a debt, but I wanted more. She’s a good girl who never should have walked through that door. I never should have touched her, but now that I have, I can’t stop. I’ll push her boundaries, she’ll cave to temptation. We’ll both forget about the danger. And that’s a mistake I can’t afford… Topics include: Valetti book series, mafia romance, contemporary romance, romantic suspense, best romance collections, top 100 romance collections, love, new adult, college, alpha male, romantic suspense

"Java P2P Unleashed" provides a single source for Java developers who want to develop P2P systems. The book explains the benefits of each technology and shows how to fit the P2P "pieces" together - both in building new systems and integrating with existing ones. starts with a discussion of the P2P architecture, referencing similarities with existing, familiar systems while previewing several types of P2P applications. It explains how to plan ahead for security, routing, performance and other issues when developing a P2P application. Each technology included in the book - JXTA, Jini, JavaSpaces, J2EE, Web services - is approached from a P2P perspective, focusing on implementation concerns Java developers will face while using them. The last section includes several large-scale examples of different P2P applications - managing content, building communities, integrating services, routing messages, and using intelligent agents to gather information. The final chapter looks ahead to future developments in Java P2P technologies.
