This work is self-contained and oriented toward the student. It is detailed in mathematical calculations, where the equations are explicitly derived. It also includes an introduction to the theory of special relativity.
Technical problems often lead to differential equations with piecewise-smooth right-hand sides. This book presents some of the fascinating new phenomena that one can observe in piecewise-smooth dynamical systems.
This important book reviews extensively the preparative chemistry of various nanostructured materials, as well as structural-property correlations for these new... Læs mere
For those who want to understand the main ideas in the theory of optimal problems, this book provides a good introduction to classical topics (under the heading of "the calculus of variations") and more modern topics (under the heading of "optimal control").
Covers bifurcation theory and its applications to dynamical systems and partial differential equations (PDEs) from science and engineering, including in particular... Læs mere
