Focusing on the intricate nature of urban environments, this monograph employs spectral graph theory and statistical physics to explore the theoretical underpinnings of compact urban topology. It delves into the complexity of cities as artificial networks, providing a framework for understanding their structural properties and dynamics. This work is essential for those interested in the mathematical and physical principles underlying urban design and development.

This revised edition offers a comprehensive exploration of modern advancements in the direct methods of calculus of variations, bridging traditional approaches with contemporary theories. Key topics include Thomas-Fermi theory and global systems of semilinear elliptic partial-differential equations, focusing on weak solutions and their regularity. While it connects to nonlinear functional analysis, the presentation prioritizes clarity and accessibility, making it suitable for readers seeking a deeper understanding of applied mathematics and mathematical physics.

Focusing on the nuances of China's trade surplus, the book addresses common misconceptions and explores the relationship between the RMB's exchange rate and trade dynamics. It also offers insights into strategies China might employ to mitigate trade frictions, providing a comprehensive analysis of economic factors at play.
