Port-Hamiltonian systems: an introductory survey

The theory of port-Hamiltonian systems provides a framework for the geometric description of network models of physical systems. It turns out that port-based network models of physical systems immediately lend themselves to a Hamiltonian description. While the usual geometric approach to Hamiltonian systems is based on the canonical symplectic structure of the phase space or on a Poisson struct...

Quality Assurance in Archaeological Survey

To have confidence in the results of an archaeological survey, whether for heritage management or research objectives, we must have some assurance that the survey was carried out to a reasonably high standard. This paper discusses the use of Quality Assurance (QA) approaches and empirical methods for estimating surveys' effectiveness at discovering archaeological artifacts as a means for ensuri...

The Theory of Approximation. By Dunham Jackson. New York (American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications, Volume 11), published by this Society, 1930. v+178 pp. In 1885 Weierstrass announced his now famous theorem: Any continuous function j•(#)> defined over a finite interval (a, b), can be approximated in (a, b) uniformly and indefinitely by a sequence of polynomials Pn(x), whose degree...
