{"product_id":"9781852331955","title":"Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDiscrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eStefanescu, Gheorghe\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eNetwork Algebra  considers the algebraic study of networks and their  behaviour.  It contains general results on the algebraic theory of  networks, recent results on the algebraic theory of models for parallel  programs, as well as results on the algebraic theory of classical control  structures.  The results are presented in a unified framework of the  calculus of flownomials, leading to a sound understanding of the algebraic  fundamentals of the network theory.  The term 'network' is used in a broad sense within this book, as  consisting of a collection of interconnecting cells, and two radically  different specific interpretations of this notion of networks are studied.  One interpretation is additive, when only one cell is active at a given  time - this covers the classical models of control specified by finite  automata or flowchart schemes.  The second interpretation is  multiplicative, where each cell is always active, covering models for  parallel computation such as Petri netsor dataflow networks.   More  advanced settings, mixing the two interpretations are included as well.  Network Algebra  will be of interest to anyone interested in network  theory or its applications and provides them with the results needed to  put their work on a firm basis.  Graduate students will also find the  material within this book useful for their studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-04-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852331955\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-0479-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 402\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358548324492,"sku":"9781852331955","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852331955.jpg?v=1775012890","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781852331955","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
