Sommario/riassunto

In this monograph, the main subject of the author's considerations is coefficient inverse problems. Arising in many areas of natural sciences and technology, such problems consist of determining the variable coefficients of a certain differential operator defined in a domain from boundary measurements of a solution or its functionals. Although the authors pay strong attention to the rigorous justification of known results, they place the primary emphasis on new concepts and developments.

Sommario/riassunto

This treatise describes the crucial role of racial masquerade and linguistic imitation in the emergence of literary modernism. It describes how modernists have rebelled against the standard image, reimagining themselves as racial aliens and mimicking the strategies of dialect speakers.
