Ke Chen Libri

This volume presents original research contributed to the 3rd Annual International Conference on Computational Mathematics and Computational Geometry (CMCGS 2014), organized and administered by Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF). Computational Mathematics and Computational Geometry are closely related subjects, but are often studied by separate communities and published in different venues. This volume is unique in its combination of these topics. After the conference, which took place in Singapore, selected contributions chosen for this volume and peer-reviewed. The section on Computational Mathematics contains papers that are concerned with developing new and efficient numerical algorithms for mathematical sciences or scientific computing. They also cover analysis of such algorithms to assess accuracy and reliability. The parts of this project that are related to Computational Geometry aim to develop effective and efficient algorithms for geometrical applications such as representation and computation of surfaces. Other sections in the volume cover Pure Mathematics and Statistics ranging from partial differential equations to matrix analysis, finite difference or finite element methods and function approximation. This volume will appeal to advanced students and researchers in these areas.

Chen Ke (*1978) ist einer der jungen Shooting-Stars der chinesischen Kunstszene. Mädchengestalten in den vielfältigsten Ausprägungen in einem sich immer wandelnden Umfeld ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch das OEuvre der Künstlerin. Auch wenn Bezüge zum Cartoon-Genre sichtbar sind, so erzeugt das Zusammenspiel von klassischer, (alt-)meisterlicher Malweise, die an westliche Vorbilder wie Caspar David Friedrich erinnert, mit Einflüssen der traditionellen chinesischen Malerei eine reizvolle Spannung. Nicht selten überrascht die experimentierfreudige Künstlerin ihr Publikum, indem sie ihr eigenes Papier herstellt, Leinwände mit Perlen bestickt oder Baumwollstoffe mit Ölfarbe bearbeitet, die in ihrer Kindheit beliebt waren. Chen Kes Arbeiten wurden bereits national und international ausgestellt, z. B. im chinesischen Nationalmuseum in Peking und im Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien. Die Publikation stellt im Westen die erste Übersichtspräsentation dar.

Nowadays neural computation has become an interdisciplinary field in its own right; researches have been conducted ranging from diverse disciplines, e.g. computational neuroscience and cognitive science, mathematics, physics, computer science, and other engineering disciplines. From different perspectives, neural computation provides an alternative methodology to understand brain functions and cognitive process and to solve challenging real-world problems effectively.Trends in Neural Computation includes twenty chapters either contributed from leading experts or formed by extending well selected papers presented in the 2005 International Conference on Natural Computation. The edited book aims to reflect the latest progresses made in different areas of neural computation, including theoretical neural computation, biologically plausible neural modeling, computational cognitive science, artificial neural networks architectures and learning algorithms and their applications in real-world problems."
