This book focuses on the application of data mining techniques in cricket. The book highlights the performance quantification of cricketers (batsmen, bowlers, all-rounders, and wicket keepers), determining the market valuation of cricketers based on their on-field performances and the effect of age on the performance of the cricketers.

The book offers a comprehensive introduction to Leavitt path algebras (LPAs) and graph C*-algebras. Highlighting their significant connection with classical K-theory—which plays an important role in mathematics and its related emerging fields—this book allows readers from diverse mathematical backgrounds to understand and appreciate these structures. The articles on LPAs are mostly of an expository nature and the ones dealing with K-theory provide new proofs and are accessible to interested students and beginners of the field.  It is a useful resource for graduate students and researchers working in this field and related areas, such as C*-algebras and symbolic dynamics.

This book is a collection of selected papers presented at the consecutively held international conferences on “Game Theory and Networks”, organized by the Department of Mathematics, Dibrugarh University, India, in collaboration with the Economics Department of Queen’s University, Belfast, UK, during September 6–9, 2019 and September, 13–15 2018. The book includes chapters on network measures and network formation, application of network theory to contagion, biological data and finance and macroeconomics as expository articles. The book also contains chapters on fair allocation in the context of queuing, rationing and cooperative games with transferable utilities for engaged researchers. A few survey chapters on non-cooperative game theory, evolutionary game theory, mechanism design and social choice theory are also incorporated to cater to the needs of the beginners in the field.This book discusses the use of game theoretic tools and network models across disciplines: mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, political science, sociology and psychology. It aims at providing a suitable learning experience to beginners on the basics of cooperative games, networks and mechanism design, as well as recent developments to research scholars having the basic knowledge of these topics.

Many other concepts which are discussed in details are biorthogonal wavelets, wavelet packets, affine and quasi-affine frames, MSF multiwavelets, multiwavelet sets, generalized scaling sets, scaling sets, unconditional basis properties of wavelets and shift invariant spaces.

This book prepares students to execute the quantitative and computational needs of the finance industry. The quantitative methods are explained in detail with examples from real financial problems like option pricing, risk management, portfolio selection, etc. Codes are provided in R programming language to execute the methods. Tables and figures, often with real data, illustrate the codes. References to related work are intended to aid the reader to pursue areas of specific interest in further detail. The comprehensive background with economic, statistical, mathematical, and computational theory strengthens the understanding. The coverage is broad, and linkages between different sections are explained. The primary audience is graduate students, while it should also be accessible to advanced undergraduates. Practitioners working in the finance industry will also benefit.

This book covers major measure theory topics with a fairly extensive study of their applications to probability and analysis.

This book covers major measure theory topics with a fairly extensive study of their applications to probability and analysis. It begins by demonstrating the essential nature of measure theory before delving into the construction of measures and the development of integration theory. Special attention is given to probability spaces and random variables/vectors. The text then explores product spaces, Radon–Nikodym and Jordan–Hahn theorems, providing a detailed account of 𝐿𝑝 spaces and their duals. After revisiting probability theory, it discusses standard limit theorems such as the laws of large numbers and the central limit theorem, with detailed treatment of weak convergence and the role of characteristic functions.The book further explores conditional probabilities and expectations, preceded by motivating discussions. It discusses the construction of probability measures on infinite product spaces, presenting Tulcea’s theorem and Kolmogorov’s consistency theorem. The text concludes with the construction of Brownian motion, examining its path properties and the significant strong Markov property. This comprehensive guide is invaluable not only for those pursuing probability theory seriously but also for those seeking a robust foundation in measure theory to advance in modern analysis. By effectively motivating readers, it underscores the critical role of measure theory in grasping fundamental probability concepts.
