Problems and Solutions Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos and Fractals

252pp Apr 2016
ISBN: 978-981-3109-92-6 (hardcover)
ISBN: 978-981-31-4087-5 (softcover)

This book presents a collection of problems for nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory and fractals. Besides the solved problems, supplementary problems are also added. Each chapter contains an introduction with suitable definitions and explanations to tackle the problems.

The material is self-contained, and the topics range in difficulty from elementary to advanced. While students can learn important principles and strategies required for problem solving, lecturers will also find this text useful, either as a supplement or text, since concepts and techniques are developed in the problems.

Differential Equations
An Introduction to Basic Concepts, Results and Applications, 3rd Edition

528pp Jul 2016
ISBN: 978-981-4749-78-7 (hardcover)
ISBN: 978-981-4759-20-5 (softcover)

This book presents, in a unitary frame and from a new perspective, the main concepts and results of one of the most fascinating branches of modern mathematics, namely differential equations, and offers the reader another point of view concerning a possible way to approach the problems of existence, uniqueness, approximation, and continuation of the solutions to a Cauchy problem. In addition, it contains simple introductions to some topics which are not usually included in classical textbooks: the exponential formula, conservation laws, generalized solutions, Caratheodory solutions, differential inclusions, variational inequalities, viability, invariance, and gradient systems.

In this new edition, some typos have been corrected and two new topics have been added: Delay differential equations and differential equations subjected to nonlocal initial conditions. The bibliography has also been updated and expanded

Contents:

Generalities
The Cauchy Problem
Approximation Methods
Systems of Linear Differential Equations
Elements of Stability
Prime Integrals
Extensions and Generalizations
Volterra Equations
Calculus of Variations
Nonlocal Problems
Delay Functional Differential Equations
Auxiliary Results


Readership: Graduate or undergraduate students dealing with analysis and differential equations, Volterra equations, calculus of variations and mathematical modeling.

A Course in Analysis
Vol. II: Differentiation and Integration of Functions of Several Variables, Vector Calculus

788pp Aug 2016
ISBN: 978-981-3140-95-0 (hardcover)
ISBN: 978-981-3140-96-7 (softcover)

This is the second volume of "A Course in Analysis" and it is devoted to the study of mappings between subsets of Euclidean spaces. The metric, hence the topological structure is discussed as well as the continuity of mappings. This is followed by introducing partial derivatives of real-valued functions and the differential of mappings. Many chapters deal with applications, in particular to geometry (parametric curves and surfaces, convexity), but topics such as extreme values and Lagrange multipliers, or curvilinear coordinates are considered too. On the more abstract side results such as the Stone?Weierstrass theorem or the Arzela?Ascoli theorem are proved in detail. The first part ends with a rigorous treatment of line integrals.

The second part handles iterated and volume integrals for real-valued functions. Here we develop the Riemann (?Darboux?Jordan) theory. A whole chapter is devoted to boundaries and Jordan measurability of domains. We also handle in detail improper integrals and give some of their applications.

The final part of this volume takes up a first discussion of vector calculus. Here we present a working mathematician's version of Green's, Gauss' and Stokes' theorem. Again some emphasis is given to applications, for example to the study of partial differential equations. At the same time we prepare the student to understand why these theorems and related objects such as surface integrals demand a much more advanced theory which we will develop in later volumes.

This volume offers more than 260 problems solved in complete detail which should be of great benefit to every serious student.
