Morse theory -- Linking -- Applications to semilinear problems -- Fučík spectrum -- Jumping nonlinearities -- Sandwich pairs -- Appendix: Sobolev spaces.

Sommario/riassunto

This book introduces the reader to powerful methods of critical point theory and details successful contemporary approaches to many problems, some of which had proved resistant to attack by older methods. Topics covered include Morse theory, critical groups, the minimax principle, various notions of linking, jumping nonlinearities and the Fučík spectrum in an abstract setting, sandwich pairs and the cohomological index. Applications to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems, p-Laplacian problems and anisotropic systems are given. Written for graduate students and research scientists, the book includes numerous examples and presents more recent developments



in the subject to bring the reader up to date with the latest research.

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines energy security as one of nontraditional issues that are strategic for Indonesia’s foreign policy. It argues that energy has not been considered as a strategic commodity in the foreign policy to support the effectiveness of Indonesia’s diplomacy at the regional and international levels. International and outward looking perspectives have not been much visible both in the policy and political realities. Since foreign policy is a reflection of domestic politics under the influence of international developments, this study focuses its analysis on the domestic and international aspects of the energy security issues.

Foreword -- Notation -- 1. Do we understand classical statistics? -- 2. The Bayesian choice -- 3. Posterior distributions -- 4. MCMC -- 5. The “baby” model -- 6. The linear model. I. The “fixed” effects model -- 7. The linear model. II. The “mixed” model -- 8. A scope of the possibilities of Bayesian inference + MCMC -- 9. Prior information -- 10. Model choice -- Appendix -- References.

Sommario/riassunto

In this book, we provide an easy introduction to Bayesian inference using MCMC techniques, making most topics intuitively reasonable and deriving to appendixes the more complicated matters. The biologist or the agricultural researcher does not normally have a background in Bayesian statistics, having difficulties in following the technical books introducing Bayesian techniques. The difficulties arise from the way of making inferences, which is completely different in the Bayesian school, and from the difficulties in understanding complicated matters such as



the MCMC numerical methods. We compare both schools, classic and Bayesian, underlying the advantages of Bayesian solutions, and proposing inferences based in relevant differences, guaranteed values, probabilities of similitude or the use of ratios. We also give a scope of complex problems that can be solved using Bayesian statistics, and we end the book explaining the difficulties associated to model choice and the use of small samples. The book has a practical orientation and uses simple models to introduce the reader in this increasingly popular school of inference.
