Telexistence is a fundamental concept which refers to the general technology that enables a human being to have the real-time sensation of being at a place other than where he or she actually exists, while being able to interact with the remote environment, which may be real, virtual, or a combination of both.
This book provides definitions and mathematical derivations of fundamental relationships of tensor analysis encountered in nonlinear continuum mechanics and continuum physics, with a focus on finite deformation kinematics and classical differential geometry.
This volume, containing selected papers presented during the COSMEX '89 meeting, provides readers with integrative and innovative articles on many aspects on many aspects of stochastic methods and their applications to experimental sciences.
This Workshop in nonlinear dynamics and mathematical physics, organized by the Italian Nuclear Energy Agency (ENEA) in Bologna, is intended to give an updated overview of modern trends in the field of nonlinear dynamics with emphasis on applications to physics, quantum theory, plasma physics and fluid dynamics, optics and electrodynamics, computer simulation and neural networks.
Recent developments of discrete methods of fluid dynamics, particularly the two most relevant aspects: the "e;half"e; discrete case - discrete Boltzmann equation; and the "e;totally"e; discrete one - lattice gas were discussed.
This book which focusses on mechanics, waves and statistics, describes recent developments in the application of differential geometry, particularly symplectic geometry, to the foundations of broad areas of physics.
This book is the first attempt to give a chaotic dynamics interpretation of processes having to do with category formation and pattern recognition by systems possessing simple hardware e.
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.
This book is intended for medical students and advanced undergraduates such as physicists and mathematicians with inter-disciplinary interests, biophysicists, medical physicists, applied mathematicians and others who wish to understand medicine in mathematical terms as well as current mathematical applications in physiology and medicine.
This is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, treatise on the energetic mechanics of Lagrange and Hamilton, that is, classical analytical dynamics, and its principal applications to constrained systems (contact, rolling, and servoconstraints).
Analysis, modeling, and simulation for better understanding of diverse complex natural and social phenomena often require powerful tools and analytical methods.
As with previous symposiums, the main objective of the Sixth International Symposium is to publish papers (of both technical and practical nature) to present new findings uncovered by theoretical results which may have the potential to contribute solutions to real-life problems.
Main themes are complete integrability, bi-Hamiltonian structures, hierarchies, impact on string theory, links with quantum groups, random perturbations of deterministic dynamics and the onset of stochasticity/chaos/ in case of particle motion, and the relation between randomness and quantisation.
The following topical subjects were discussed: quantum stochastic calculus; unbounded quantum dynamical system; the principles of nonstandard analysis that are fundamental to an understanding of a modern approach to stochastic analysis on fractals; Brownian motion on nested fractals; stable processes; stochastic modelling of sexually transmitted diseases.
This conference brought together scientists from diverse disciplines such as biomedical and electrical engineering, mathematics, physics, neurology, neuroscience, psychophysiology and psychology to discuss the application of nonlinear dynamics in the study of brain function.
The papers collected in this volume, presented at the workshop on 'Nonlinear Problems in Engineering', held in ENEA Rome (Italy) from 6 - 7 May 1991, and sponsored by ENEA, report nonlinear problems of prevailing engineering interest.
This book contains some invited lectures on subjects as diverse as document preparation systems, fractals, number theory, graph colouring and neural networks.
