A STORY OF LIGHT
A Short Introduction to Quantum Field Theory of Quarks and Leptons

This book presents the essential aspects of relativistic quantum field theory, with minimal use of mathematics. It covers the development of quantum field theory from the original quantization of electromagnetic field to the gauge field theory of interactions among quarks and leptons.
Aimed at both scientists and non-specialists, it requires only some rudimentary knowledge of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of Newtonian mechanics and a basic understanding of the special theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.

Contents:

Particles and Fields I: Dichotomy
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics
Canonical Quantization
Particles and Fields II: Duality
Equations for Duality
Electromagnetic Field
Emulation of Light I: Matter Fields
Road Map for Field Quantization
Particles and Fields III: Particles as Quanta of Fields
Emulation of Light II: Interactions
Triumph and Wane
Emulation of Light III: Gauge Field
Quarks and Leptons
Non-Abelian Gauge Field Theories

Readership: Students, researchers, academics and non-specialists interested in quantum field theory.

GLOBAL ATTRACTORS OF NON-AUTONOMOUS DISSIPATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

The study of attractors of dynamical systems occupies an important position in the modern qualitative theory of differential equations. This engaging volume presents an authoritative overview of both autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems, including the global compact attractor. From an in-depth introduction to the different types of dissipativity and attraction, the book takes a comprehensive look at the connections between them, and critically discusses applications of general results to different classes of differential equations. Intended for experts in qualitative theory of differential equations, dynamical systems and their applications, this accessible book can also serve as an important resource for senior students and lecturers.

Contents:

Autonomous Dynamical Systems
Non-Autonomous Dissipative Dynamical Systems
Analytic Dissipative Systems
The Structure of the Levinson Centre of System with the Condition of the Hyperbolicity
Method of Lyapunov Functions
Dissipativity of Some Classes of Equations
Upper Semi-Continuity of Attractors
The Relationship between Pullback, Forward and Global Attractors
Pullback Attractors of ?泡nalytic Systems
Pullback Attractors Under Discretization
Global Attractors of Non-Autonomous Navier亡tokes Equations
Global Attractors of V-Monotone Dynamical Systems
Linear Almost Periodic Dynamical Systems
Triangular Maps.

Readership: Researchers, academics/lecturers, graduate students and post-graduate students in dynamical systems and their applications.

Reverse Engineering of Object Oriented Code

ISBN: 0-387-40295-0

About this book

During maintenance of a software system, not all questions can be answered directly by resorting to otherwise reliable and accurate source code. Reverse engineering aims at extracting abstract, goal-oriented views of the system, able to summarize relevant properties of the program's computations. Reverse Engineering of Object-Oriented Code provides a comprehensive overview of several techniques that have been recently investigated in the field of reverse engineering. The book describes the algorithms involved in recovering UML diagrams from the code and the techniques that can be adopted for their visualization. This is important because the UML has become the standard for representing design diagrams in object-oriented development. A state-of-the-art exposition on how to design object-oriented code and accompanying algorithms that can be reverse engineered for greater flexibility in future code maintenance and alteration. Essential object-oriented concepts and programming methods for software engineers and researchers.
