Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

One of the masters in the differential equations community the late F. V. Atkinson contributed seminal research to multiparameter spectral theory and Sturm-Liouville theory. His ideas and techniques have long inspired researchers and continue to stimulate discussion. With the help of co-author Angelo B. Mingarelli Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems: Sturm-Liouville Theory reflects much of Dr. Atkinson’s final work. After covering standard multiparameter problems the book investigates the conditions for eigenvalues to be real and form a discrete set. It gives results on the determinants of functions presents oscillation methods for Sturm-Liouville systems and other multiparameter systems and offers an alternative approach to multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problems in the case of two equations and two parameters. In addition to discussing the distribution of eigenvalues and infinite limit-points of the set of eigenvalues the text focuses on proofs of the completeness of the eigenfunctions of a multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problem involving finite intervals. It also explores the limit-point limit-circle classification as well as eigenfunction expansions. A lasting tribute to Dr. Atkinson’s contributions that spanned more than 40 years this book covers the full multiparameter theory as applied to second-order linear equations. It considers the spectral theory of multiparameter problems in detail for both regular and singular cases. | Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

The Psychology of Insider Risk Detection Investigation and Case Management

The Psychology of Insider Risk Detection Investigation and Case Management

Clinical psychologist and former intelligence officer Eric D. Shaw brings over 30 years of psychological consultation experience to the national security community corporate investigations and law enforcement to this work on insider risk. After a career in counterterrorism Dr. Shaw spent the last 20 years concentrating on insiders—employees who commit espionage sabotage intellectual property theft present risks of harm to self and others and other workplace risks especially those influenced by mental health conditions. Dr. Shaw is the author of the Critical Pathway to Insider Risk (CPIR) which addresses the characteristics experiences and connections at-risk employees bring to our organizations the stressors that trigger higher levels of risk the concerning behaviors that signal this risk has increased and the action or inaction by organizations that escalate insider risk. The CPIR also examines what these employees look like when they have broken bad and the personal characteristics resources and support that can mitigate these risks. Dr. Shaw also examines specific risk accelerators like subject disgruntlement personality disorders and problematic organizational responses that can escalate the speed and intensity of insider risks. The investigative applications strengths and weaknesses of the CPIR are also considered. This work also describes the behavioral science tools deployed in insider investigations especially those designed to locate and understand persons at-risk and help organizations intervene to avoid escalation or manage potential damage. Case examples are drawn from intelligence community corporate and law enforcement investigations. Specific insider cases where the use of behavioral science tools is described in detail include leaks anonymous threats erotomania hacking violence risk mass destruction threats and espionage. The work closes with consideration of the many current and future challenges insider risk professionals face. These include the challenge of recognizing suicidal ideation as a gateway to other forms of insider risk understanding when subject therapy will and will not reduce risk deciphering belief in conspiracy theory from significant extremist risk appreciating insider threats to our elections and the unique challenges posed when the insider is a leader. | The Psychology of Insider Risk Detection Investigation and Case Management
