Mathematics : Applied

This book is an attempt to give a systematic presentation of both logic and type theory from a categorical perspective, using the unifying concept of fibred category. Its intended audience consists of logicians, type theorists, category theorists and (theoretical) computer scientists. more...

Cells and Robots is an outcome of the multidisciplinary research extending over Biology, Robotics and Hybrid Systems Theory. It is inspired by modeling reactive behavior of the immune system cell population, where each cell is considered as an independent agent. In our modeling approach, there is no difference if the cells are naturally or artificially created agents, such as robots. This appears even more evident when we introduce a case study concerning a large-size robotic population scenario. Under this scenario, we also formulate the optimal control of maximizing the probability of robotic presence in a given region and discuss the application of the Minimum Principle for partial differential equations to this problem. Simultaneous consideration of cell and robotic populations is of mutual benefit for Biology and Robotics, as well as for the general understanding of multi-agent system dynamics. The text of this monograph is based on the PhD thesis of the first author. The work was a runner-up for the fifth edition of the Georges Giralt Award for the best European PhD thesis in Robotics, annually awarded by the European Robotics Research Network (EURON). more...

The inaugural research program of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore took place from July to December 2001 and was devoted to coding theory and cryptology. As part of the program, tutorials for graduate students and junior researchers were given by world-renowned scholars. These tutorials covered fundamental aspects of coding theory and cryptology and were designed to prepare for original research in these areas. The present volume collects the expanded lecture notes of these tutorials. more...

Complex Dynamics: Advanced System Dynamics in Complex Variables is a graduate-level monographic textbook. It is designed as a comprehensive introduction into methods and techniques of modern complex-valued nonlinear dynamics with its various physical and non-physical applications. This book is a complex-valued continuation of our previous two monographs, Geometrical Dynamics of Complex Systems and High-Dimensional Chaotic and Attractor Systems, Volumes 31 and 32 in the Springer book series Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering, where we had developed the most powerful mathematical machinery to deal with high-dimensional nonlinear, attractor and chaotic real-valued dynamics. The present monograph is devoted to understanding, prediction and control of both low- and high-dimensional, as well as both continuous- and discrete-time, nonlinear systems dynamics in complex variables. Its objective is to provide a serious reader with a serious scientific tool that will enable him/her to actually perform a competitive research in modern complex-valued nonlinear dynamics. This book has seven Chapters. The first, introductory Chapter explains ???in plain English??? the objective of the book and provides the preliminaries in complex numbers and variables; it also gives a soft introduction to quantum dynamics. The second Chapter develops low-dimensional dynamics in the complex plane, theoretical and computational, continuous- and discrete-time. The third Chapter presents a modern introduction to quantum dynamics, mainly following Dirac's notation. The fourth Chapter develops geometrical machinery of complex manifolds, essential for the further text. The fifthChapter develops high-dimensional complex continuous dynamics, which takes place on complex manifolds. The sixth Chapter develops the formalism of complex path integrals, which extends the continuous dynamics to the general high-dimensional dynamics, which can be both discrete and stochastic. more...
