Interest in developing and refining the mathematical methods of operations research has become intensified and sophisticated. Attention is generally given to a priori upper bounds on the number of solutions of a problem, the existence and uniqueness of solutions,...

These are the classical analogues of quantum scattering resonances except that these latter ones are associated with the wave eigenfunctions of the energy operator, although the eigenstates of the LiouviUian operator are probability densities or density matrices in quanmm mechanics. Nevertheless, the mathematical method to determine the Pollicott-Ruelle resonances is similar, and they can be obtained as poles of the resolvent of the LiouviUian operator...

Many industrial users of batch distillation (Chen, 1998 Greaves, 2003) find it difficult to implement the optimum reflux ratio profiles, obtained using rigorous mathematical methods, in their pilot plants. This is due to the fact that most models for batch distillation available in the literature treat the reflux ratio as a continuous variable (either constant or variable) while most pilot plants use an on-off type (switch between total reflux and total distillate operation) reflux ratio controller. In Greaves et al. 2001) a relationship between the continuous reflux ratio used in a model and the discrete reflux ratio used in the pilot plant is developed. This allows easy comparison between the model and the plant on a common basis.

There is no rigorous mathematical method for combining the individual precisions, but the variances of the individual measurements may be combined. The precision, at the 95 percent confidence level, is defined as approximately twice the true standard deviation. Since the latter is the square root of the true variance, this permits evaluation of the precision for the combined operation. 

In this appendix some important mathematical methods are briefly outlined. These include Laplace and Fourier transformations which are often used in the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. Some basic operations with complex numbers and functions are also outlined. Power series, which are useful in making approximations, are summarized. Vector calculus, a subject which is important in electricity and magnetism, is dealt with in appendix B. The material given here is intended to provide only a brief introduction. The interested reader is referred to the monograph by Kreyszig [1] for further details. Extensive tables relevant to these topics are available in the handbook by Abramowitz and Stegun [2].

Wavelet Transform is mathematical method to linear operation that decomposes a function into a continuous spectrum of its frequency components. Wavelet basis functions are localized in space and frequency.
