Quantum Chaos
Cambridge University Press 1995; US$ 110.00This book provides a comprehensive overview of our understanding of chaotic behaviour in quantum systems. more...
In the Wake of Chaos
University of Chicago Press 1994; US$ 22.50Chaos theory has captured scientific and popular attention. What began as the discovery of randomness in simple physical systems has become a widespread fascination with "chaotic" models of everything from business cycles to brainwaves to heart attacks. But what exactly does this explosion of new research into chaotic phenomena mean for our understanding... more...
Ubiquity
Crown Publishing Group 2002; US$ 16.00Why do catastrophes happen? What sets off earthquakes, for example? What about mass extinctions of species? The outbreak of major wars? Massive traffic jams that seem to appear out of nowhere? Why does the stock market periodically suffer dramatic crashes? Why do some forest fires become superheated infernos that rage totally out of control? Experts... more...
Nonlinear Physics For Beginners
World Scientific Publishing Company 1998; US$ 110.50Almost all real systems are nonlinear. For a nonlinear system the superposition principle breaks down: The system's response is not proportional to the stimulus it receives; the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The three parts of this book contains the basics of nonlinear science, with applications in physics. Part I contains an overview of... more...
Bifurcation And Chaos In Nonsmooth Mechanical Systems
World Scientific Publishing Company 2003; US$ 153.40This book presents the theoretical frame for studying lumped nonsmooth dynamical systems: the mathematical methods are recalled, and adapted numerical methods are introduced (differential inclusions, maximal monotone operators, Filippov theory, Aizerman theory, etc. more...
Bifurcations And Chaos In Piecewise-smooth Dynamical Systems: Applications To Power Converters, Relay And Pulse-width Modulated Control Systems, And Human Decision-making Behavior
World Scientific Publishing Company 2003; US$ 111.80Technical problems often lead to differential equations with piecewise-smooth right-hand sides. Problems in mechanical engineering, for instance, violate the requirements of smoothness if they involve collisions, finite clearances, or stick?slip phenomena. more...
Nonlinear And Parametric Phenomena
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 137.80The book comprises a broad panorama of phenomena occurring in four major classes of radiophysical and mechanical systems linear, nonlinear, parametric, and nonlinear-parametric. An analytical technique for the broad circle of issues under consideration is developed. It is presented in a user-friendly form, allowing its further direct application... more...
Applied Nonlinear Time Series Analysis
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 75.40Nonlinear time series methods have developed rapidly over a quarter of a century and have reached an advanced state of maturity during the last decade. Implementations of these methods for experimental data are now widely accepted and fairly routine; however, genuinely useful applications remain rare. This book focuses on the practice of applying these... more...
Quantum Mechanics In Nonlinear Systems
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 111.80In the history of physics and science, quantum mechanics has served as the foundation of modern science. This book discusses the properties of microscopic particles in nonlinear systems, principles of the nonlinear quantum mechanical theory, and its applications in condensed matter, polymers and biological systems. The book is essentially composed... more...
Geometrical Theory Of Dynamical Systems And Fluid Flows
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 88.40This is an introductory textbook on the geometrical theory of dynamical systems, fluid flows, and certain integrable systems. The subjects are interdisciplinary and extend from mathematics, mechanics and physics to mechanical engineering, and the approach is very fundamental. more...
