Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Flows and their Probabilistic Counterparts

Jul 2024

Overview

Can be used as a one semester graduate course for mathematicians
Devoted to existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations
Presents recent research material on nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations
Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics (LNM, volume 2353)

About this book

This book delves into a rigorous mathematical exploration of the well-posedness and long-time behavior of
weak solutions to nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, along with their implications in the theory of probabilistically
weak solutions to McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations and the corresponding nonlinear Markov processes.
These are widely acknowledged as essential tools for describing the dynamics of complex systems in disordered media,
as well as mean-field models. The resulting stochastic processes elucidate the microscopic dynamics underlying
the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, whereas the solutions of the latter describe the evolving macroscopic probability
distributions.

The intended audience for this book primarily comprises specialists in mathematical physics, probability theory and PDEs.
It can also be utilized as a one-semester graduate course for mathematicians. Prerequisites for the readers include
a solid foundation in functional analysis and probability theory.

Nonlinear Systems of Fractional Differential Equations

Aug 2024

Overview

Serves as a reference book for graduate/postgraduate research students to design new research projects
The primary audience includes researchers, mathematicians, modelers, and graduate students
Studies the theoretical aspects for a variety of coupled fractional differential systems involving Riemann-Liouville

About this book

This book studies the theoretical aspects for a variety of coupled fractional differential systems involving
Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, ƒĠ-Riemann--Liouville, Hilfer, ƒĠ--Hilfer, Hadamard, Hilfer--Hadamard, Erdelyi--Kober,
(k, ƒĠ)-Hilfer, generalized, Proportional, ƒĠ-Proportional, Hilfer--proportional, ƒĠ-Hilfer--proportional type fractional
derivative operators, subject to different types of nonlocal boundary conditions. The topic of fractional differential
systems is one of the hot and important topics of research as such systems appear in the mathematical modeling
of physical and technical phenomena. As the book contains some recent new work on the existence theory
for nonlocal boundary value problems of fractional differential systems, it is expected that it will attract
the attention of researchers, modelers and graduate students who are interested in doing their research
on fractional differential systems.

Maximal Solvable Subgroups of Finite Classical Groups

Aug 2024

Overview

Extends Jordanfs results on maximal solvable subgroups
Discusses irreducible matrix groups, primitive permutation groups, and related topics
Suitable for graduate students and researchers in finite group theory and representation theory
Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics (LNM, volume 2346)

About this book

This book studies maximal solvable subgroups of classical groups over finite fields. It provides the first modern
account of Camille Jordan's classical results, and extends them, giving a classification of maximal irreducible
solvable subgroups of general linear groups, symplectic groups, and orthogonal groups over arbitrary finite fields.

A subgroup of a group G is said to be maximal solvable if it is maximal among the solvable subgroups of G.
The history of this notion goes back to Jordanfs Traite (1870), in which he provided a classification of maximal
solvable subgroups of symmetric groups. The main difficulty is in the primitive case, which leads to the problem
of classifying maximal irreducible solvable subgroups of general linear groups over a field of prime order.
One purpose of this monograph is expository: to give a proof of Jordanfs classification in modern terms.
More generally, the aim is to generalize these results to classical groups over arbitrary finite fields, and to provide
other results of interest related to irreducible solvable matrix groups.

The text will be accessible to graduate students and researchers interested in primitive permutation groups,
irreducible matrix groups, and related topics in group theory and representation theory.
The detailed introduction will appeal to those interested in the historical background of Jordanfs work.

Normal 2-Coverings of the Finite Simple Groups and their Generalizations

Jul 2024

Overview

Provides the first comprehensive classification of normal 2-coverings of non-abelian simple groups
The first reference book to collect and consolidate existing research on normal 2-coverings and their applications
Showcases a wide range of applications of normal 2-coverings across different mathematical domains
Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics (LNM, volume 2352)

About this book

This book provides a complete and comprehensive classification of normal 2-coverings of non-abelian simple groups
and their generalizations. While offering readers a thorough understanding of these structures, and of the groups
admitting them, it delves into the properties of weak normal coverings. The focal point is the weak normal covering
number of a group G, the minimum number of proper subgroups required for every element of G to have a conjugate
within one of these subgroups, via an element of Aut(G). This number is shown to be at least 2 for every non-abelian
simple group and the non-abelian simple groups for which this minimum value is attained are classified. The discussion
then moves to almost simple groups, with some insights into their weak normal covering numbers. Applications span
algebraic number theory, combinatorics, Galois theory, and beyond. Compiling existing material and synthesizing
it into a cohesive framework, the book gives a complete overview of this fundamental aspect of finite group theory.
It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students working on non-abelian simple groups,
