Computer-Aided Verification of Coordinating Processes
Formal verification increasingly has become recognized as an answer to the problem of how to create ever more complex control systems, which nonetheless are required to behave reliably. To be acceptable in an industrial setting, formal verification must be highly algorithmic; to cope with design complexity, it must support a top-down design methodology that leads from an abstract design to its detailed implementation. That combination of requirements points directly to the widely recognized solution of automata-theoretic verification, on account of its expressiveness, computational complexity, and perhaps general utility as well. This book develops the theory of automata-theoretic verification from its foundations, with a focus on algorithms and heuristics to reduce the computational complexity of analysis. It is suitable as a text for a one-or two-semester graduate course, and is recommended reading for anyone planning to use a verification tool, such as COSPAN or SMV.An extensive bibliography that points to the most recent sources, and extensive discussions of methodology and comparisons with other techniques, make this a useful resource for research or verification tool development, as well. Originally published in 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Introduction to Complex Analysis
Like real analysis, complex analysis has generated methods indispensable to mathematics and its applications. Exploring the interactions between these two branches, this book uses the results of real analysis to lay the foundations of complex analysis and presents a unified structure of mathematical analysis as a whole.To set the groundwork and mitigate the difficulties newcomers often experience, An Introduction to Complex Analysis begins with a complete review of concepts and methods from real analysis, such as metric spaces and the Green-Gauss Integral Formula. The approach leads to brief, clear proofs of basic statements - a distinct advantage for those mainly interested in applications. Alternate approaches, such as Fichera's proof of the Goursat Theorem and Estermann's proof of the Cauchy's Integral Theorem, are also presented for comparison. Discussions include holomorphic functions, the Weierstrass Convergence Theorem, analytic continuation, isolated singularities, homotopy, Residue theory, conformal mappings, special functions and boundary value problems.;More than 200 examples and 150 exercises illustrate the subject matter and make this book an ideal text for university

Introduction to Complex Analysis
Recent decades have seen profound changes in the way we understand complex analysis. This new work presents a much-needed modern treatment of the subject, incorporating the latest developments and providing a rigorous yet accessible introduction to the concepts and proofs of this fundamental branch of mathematics. With its thorough review of the prerequisites and well-balanced mix of theory and practice, this book will appeal both to readers interested in pursuing advanced topics as well as those wishing to explore the many applications of complex analysis to engineering and the physical sciences. * Reviews the necessary calculus, bringing readers quickly up to speed on the material * Illustrates the theory, techniques, and reasoning through the use of short proofs and many examples * Demystifies complex versus real differentiability for functions from the plane to the plane * Develops Cauchy's Theorem, presenting the powerful and easy-to-use winding-number version * Contains over 100 sophisticated graphics to provide helpful examples and reinforce important concepts
