ISBN: 3540418342 ISBN-13: 9783540418344 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $42.74 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2001 Annotation: A well written, readable and easily accessible introduction to "Choquet theory," which treats the representation of elements of a compact convex set as integral averages over extreme points of the set. The interest in this material arises both from its appealing geometrical nature as well as its extraordinarily wide range of application to areas ranging from approximation theory to ergodic theory. Many of these applications are treated in this book. This second edition is an expanded and updated version of what has become a classic basic reference in the subject. |
