This important book deals with vibrational mechanics - the new, intensively developing section of nonlinear dynamics and the theory of nonlinear oscillations.
Many advanced mathematical disciplines, such as dynamical systems, calculus of variations, differential geometry and the theory of Lie groups, have a common foundation in general topology and calculus in normed vector spaces.

This book contains the main results of the authors' investigations on the development and application of numerical-analytic methods for ordinary nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs).
The inverse problem of the calculus of variations was first studied by Helmholtz in 1887 and it is entirely solved for the differential operators, but only a few results are known in the more general case of differential equations.
New Edition: Lipschitz Algebras (2nd Edition)The Lipschitz algebras Lip(M), for M a complete metric space, are quite analogous to the spaces C(I ) and Linfinity(X), for I a compact Hausdorff space and X a I -finite measure space.
Although individual orbits of chaotic dynamical systems are by definition unpredictable, the average behavior of typical trajectories can often be given a precise statistical description.
This volume collects the articles presented at the Third International Conference on "e;The Navier-Stokes Equations: Theory and Numerical Methods"e;, held in Oberwolfach, Germany.
This book introduces the recent developments in the subject of quasilinear hyperbolic systems with dissipation, such as frictional damping, relaxation, viscosity and heat diffusion.
This book deals with nonlinear boundary value problems for semilinear elliptic equations on unbounded domains with nonlinearities involving the subcritical Sobolev exponent.
Henstock-Kurzweil (HK) integration, which is based on integral sums, can be obtained by an inconspicuous change in the definition of Riemann integration.
The aim of this book is to explain, analyze and compute the kinds of motions that appear in an extended vicinity of the geometrically defined equilateral points of the Earth-Moon system, as a source of possible nominal orbits for future space missions.
This book focuses on the interactions between discrete and geometric dynamical systems, and between dynamical systems and theoretical physics and computer science.
Historically, the theory of stability is based on linear differential systems, which are simple and important systems in ordinary differential equations.
This book has been designed for a one-year graduate course on boundary value problems for students of mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences.
Functional analysis is not only a tool for unifying mathematical analysis, but it also provides the background for today's rapid development of the theory of partial differential equations.
This workshop brought together specialists in complex analysis, differential geometry, mathematical physics and applications for stimulating cross-disciplinary discussions.
The theory and applications of C*-algebras are related to fields ranging from operator theory, group representations and quantum mechanics, to non-commutative geometry and dynamical systems.
Differential algebra explores properties of solutions to systems of (ordinary or partial, linear or nonlinear) differential equations from an algebraic point of view.
Special functions and q-series are currently very active areas of research which overlap with many other areas of mathematics, such as representation theory, classical and quantum groups, affine Lie algebras, number theory, harmonic analysis, and mathematical physics.
This monograph derives from familiar economic principles the dynamics of national income, the interest rate, employment, the value of capital stock, prices, and the cumulative balance of payments.
