Nonlinear Dynamics

A Primer
Alfredo Medio, Universita Ca'Foscari, Venezia
Marji Lines, Università degli Studi di Udine, Italy
November 2001
Paperback
9780521558747
    Description

    This textbook on the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems for nonmathematical advanced undergraduate or graduate students is also a reference book for researchers in the physical and social sciences. It provides a comprehensive introduction including linear systems, stability theory of nonlinear systems, bifurcation theory, chaotic dynamics. Discussion of the measure--theoretic approach to dynamical systems and the relation between deterministic systems and stochastic processes is featured. There are a hundred exercises and an associated website provides a software program, computer exercises and answers to selected book exercises.

    • Medio is a star name in the dynamics field, with a track record of major sales success with the Press
    • The latest book in the Press's highly successful dynamics program
    • Part of a complete teaching unit, including exercises, an associated website, and a Windows-compatible software program to offer a fuller understanding of dynamics

    Econometric Theory

    : Journal

    Econometric Theory provides an authoritative outlet for original contributions in all of the major areas of econometrics. As well as articles that embody original theoretical research and those that promote best practice econometrics by demonstrating new theory in conjunction with the practical implementation of theory, the journal publishes historical studies on the evolution of econometric thought and on its major thought leaders, coupled with its distinguished ‘ET Interviews’ series that pioneered professional scientific interviews with preeminent scholars.2014 Impact Factor: 0.9782013 SCImago Ranking in Economics, Econometrics and Finance: 352012 SCImago Ranking in Economics, Econometrics and Finance: 16

    European Journal of Applied Mathematics

    : Journal

    Since 2008 EJAM surveys have been expanded to cover Applied and Industrial Mathematics. Coverage of the journal has been strengthened in probabilistic applications, while still focusing on those areas of applied mathematics inspired by real-world applications, and at the same time fostering the development of theoretical methods with a broad range of applicability. Survey papers contain reviews of emerging areas of mathematics, either in core areas or with relevance to users in industry and other disciplines.Research papers may be in any area of applied mathematics, with special emphasis on new mathematical ideas, relevant to modelling and analysis in modern science and technology, and the development of interesting mathematical methods of wide applicability.
