This volume comprises a carefully selected collection of articles emerging from and pertinent to the 2010 CFL-80 conference in Rio de Janeiro, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition.
An outgrowth of The Seventh International Conference on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, this book focuses on applications of integration-based analytic and numerical techniques.
In modern theoretical physics, gauge field theories are of great importance since they keep internal symmetries and account for phenomena such as spontaneous symmetry breaking, the quantum Hall effect, charge fractionalization, superconductivity and supergravity.
This book examines various mathematical tools-based on generalized collocation methods-to solve nonlinear problems related to partial differential and integro-differential equations.
The purpose of the present book is to offer an up-to-date account of the theory of viscosity solutions of first order partial differential equations of Hamilton-Jacobi type and its applications to optimal deterministic control and differential games.
The purpose of the book is to summarize Lyapunov design techniques for nonlinear systems and to raise important issues concerning large-signal robustness and performance.
The purpose of this book is to present typical methods (including rescaling methods) for the examination of the behavior of solutions of nonlinear partial di?
This self-contained work is an introductory presentation of basic ideas, structures, and results of differential and integral calculus for functions of several variables.
A collection of invited chapters dedicated to Carlos Segovia, this unified and self-contained volume examines recent developments in real and harmonic analysis.
Filling a gap in the literature, this textbook presents the first comprehensive stability analysis of these major types of system models: finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional systems; continuous-time and discrete-time systems; continuous continuous-time and discontinuous continuous-time systems; and hybrid systems involving a mixture of continuous and discrete dynamics.
The second in a series of three volumes surveying the theory of theta functions, this volume gives emphasis to the special properties of the theta functions associated with compact Riemann surfaces and how they lead to solutions of the Korteweg-de-Vries equations as well as other non-linear differential equations of mathematical physics.
This monograph presents new constructive design methods for boundary stabilization and boundary estimation for several classes of benchmark problems in flow control.
In the last three decades, advances in methods for investigating polynomial ideals and their varieties have provided new possibilities for approaching two long-standing problems in the theory of differential equations: the Poincare center problem and the cyclicity problem (the problem of bifurcation of limit cycles from singular trajectories).
One of the most fundamental and active areas in mathematics, the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) is essential in the modeling of natural phenomena.
This little book is a revised and expanded version of one I wrote for the "e;VIII Latin American School of Mathematics"e; [29], in Portuguese, based on which I have periodically taught a topics course over the last 18 years.
One of the fundamental ideas of mathematical analysis is the notion of a function; we use it to describe and study relationships among variable quantities in a system and transformations of a system.
The study of CR manifolds lies at the intersection of three main mathematical disciplines, partial differential equations: complex analysis in several complex variables, and differential geometry.
This book traces the history of approximation theory from Leonhard Euler's cartographic investigations at the end of the 18th century to the early 20th century work of Sergei Bernstein defining a new branch of function theory.
Homogenization is a method for modeling processes in microinhomogeneous media, which are encountered in radiophysics, filtration theory, rheology, elasticity theory, and other domains of mechanics, physics, and technology.
The control and estimation of continuous-time/continuous-space nonlinear systems continues to be a challenging problem, and this is one of the c- tral foci of this book.
The quantitative and qualitative study of the physical world makes use of many mathematical models governed by a great diversity of ordinary, partial differential, integral, and integro-differential equations.
This book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathemat- ics - approximation theory - in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets.
