Calculations on nonlinear optical properties for large systems : The elongati…
For design purposes one needs to relate the structure of proposed materials to their NLO (nonlinear optical) and other properties, which is a situation where theoretical approaches can be very helpful in providing suggestions for candidate systems that subsequently can be synthesized and studied experimentally. This brief describes the quantum-mechanical treatment of the response to one or more…

Analysis on h-Harmonics and Dunkl Transforms
This book provides an introduction to h-harmonics and Dunkl transforms. These are extensions of the ordinary spherical harmonics and Fourier transforms, in which the usual Lebesgue measure is replaced by a reflection-invariant weighted measure. The authors’ focus is on the analysis side of both h-harmonics and Dunkl transforms. Graduate students and researchers working in approximation the…
