This volume details some of the latest advances in spectral theory and nonlinear analysis through various cutting-edge theories on algebraic multiplicities, global bifurcation theory, non-linear Schrodinger equations, non-linear boundary value problems, large solutions, metasolutions, dynamical systems, and applications to spatial ecology.
This best-selling textbook presents the concepts of continuum mechanics, and the second edition includes additional explanations, examples and exercises.
Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) are electronic systems that can be used as a synchronized oscillator, a driver or multiplier of frequency, a modulator or demodulator and as an amplifier of phase modulated signals.
Derived from the 2001 Santa Fe Institute Conference, "e;The Economy as an Evolving Complex System III,"e; represents scholarship from the leading figures in th area of economics and complexity.
This book is a collection of recent reprints and new material on fundamentally nonlinear problems in structural systems which demonstrate localized responses to continuous inputs.
This monograph presents a reasonably rigorous theory of a highly relevant chaos control method: suppression-enhancement of chaos by weak periodic excitations in low-dimensional, dissipative and non-autonomous systems.
Bifurcation and chaos has dominated research in nonlinear dynamics for over two decades, and numerous introductory and advanced books have been published on this subject.
Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrous single cell well known for its task-solving abilities - solves computational geometry and logical problems, navigates robots and generates music.
Many chemical and biological processes take place in fluid environments in constant motion - chemical reactions in the atmosphere, biological population dynamics in the ocean, chemical reactors, combustion, and microfluidic devices.
Physical science and technology (engineering) are fundamentally linked by the possibility of predictions: science tests itself and grows by making and checking predictions; technology relies on predictions and thus furthers the growth of the associated science.
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the research and latest developments in the field of the dynamics of coupled and driven chaotic oscillators, aimed at a wide audience.
This book focuses on the research topics investigated during the three-year research project funded by the Italian Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR: Ministry of Education, University and Research) under the FIRB project RBNE01CW3M.
During the last couple of years, fractals have been shown to represent the common aspects of many complex processes occurring in an unusually diverse range of fields including biology, chemistry, earth sciences, physics and technology.
A modern introduction to synchronization phenomena, combining the development of deep mathematical concepts with illustrative examples and practical applications.
Surveys, research articles, and commented problems based on a 2004 MRSI research workshop in symplectic geometry, ergodicity, hyperbolic dynamics, and other areas.
Nonlinear time series methods have developed rapidly over a quarter of a century and have reached an advanced state of maturity during the last decade.
