Sommario/riassunto

This is a self-contained exposition of several core aspects of the theory of rational polyhedra  with a view towards algorithmic applications to efficient counting of integer points,  a problem arising in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. The approach is based  on the consistent development and application of the apparatus of generating functions  and the algebra of polyhedra. Topics range from classical, such as the Euler characteristic,  continued fractions, Ehrhart polynomial, Minkowski Convex Body Theorem, and the Lenstra-  Lenstra-Lovász lattice reduction algorithm, to recent advances such as the Berline-Vergne  local formula.     The text is intended for graduate students and researchers. Prerequisites are a modest background in linear algebra and analysis as well as some general mathematical maturity. Numerous figures, exercises of varying degree of difficulty as well as references to the literature and publicly available software make the text suitable for a graduate course.

Sommario/riassunto

This book helps you find innovative new technology ideas and guides you through the complete lifecycle of product innovation, including screening, funding, development, and commercialization. It gives you an edge by enabling you to start off with a solid foundation and strategy. Commercialization of Innovative Technologies focuses on three core areas that set the stage for successful commercialization: Developing and managing a strong, flexible ""innovation team"" of inventors, investors, technologists, and entrepreneurs; building a portfolio that spreads risk; leveraging input from tec
