Singularities, Bifurcations and Catastrophes
Suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers, this self-contained textbook provides an introduction to the mathematics lying at the foundations of bifurcation theory. The theory is built up gradually, beginning with the well-developed approach to singularity theory through right-equivalence. The text proceeds with contact equivalence of map-germs and finally presents the path formulation of bifurcation theory. This formulation, developed partly by the author, is more general and more flexible than the original one dating from the 1980s. A series of appendices discuss standard background material, such as calculus of several variables, existence and uniqueness theorems for ODEs, and some basic material on rings and modules. Based on the author's own teaching experience, the book contains numerous examples and illustrations. The wealth of end-of-chapter problems develop and reinforce understanding of the key ideas and techniques: solutions to a selection are provided.
Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry
The lectures in this 2005 book are intended to bring young researchers to the current frontier of knowledge in geometrical mechanics and dynamical systems.
Singularity Theory and its Applications
A workshop on Singularities, Bifuraction and Dynamics was held at Warwick in July 1989, as part of a year-long symposium on Singularity Theory and its applications. The proceedings fall into two halves: Volume I mainly on connections with algebraic geometry and volume II on connections with dynamical systems theory, bifurcation theory and applications in the sciences. The papers are original research, stimulated by the symposium and workshop: All have been refereed and none will appear elsewhere. The main topic of volume II is new methods for the study of bifurcations in nonlinear dynamical systems, and applications of these.
Singularities, Bifurcations and Catastrophes
This textbook gives a contemporary account of singularity theory and its principal application, bifurcation theory.
Singularity Theory and its Applications
A workshop on Singularities, Bifurcation and Dynamics was held at Warwick in July 1989 as part of a year-long symposium on Singularity Theory and its applications. The proceedings fall into two halves: Volume I mainly on connections with algebraic geometry and volume II on connections with dynamical systems theory, bifurcation theory, and applications in the sciences. The papers are orginal research, stimulated by the symposium and workshops: All have been refereed, and none will appear elsewhere. The main topic, deformation theory, is represented by several papers on descriptions of the bases of versal deformations, and several more on descriptions of the generic fibres. Other topics include stratifications, and applications to differential geometry.
Peyresq Lectures on Nonlinear Phenomena
" ... a compilation of lecture notes on various topics in nonlinear physics delivered by specialists during the summer schools organized by the Institut Non Linéaire de Nice (INLN) in Peyresq (French Alps of Provence) since 1998. The first volume, edited by R. Kaiser and J. Montaldi, contains courses from the years 1998 and 1999. This volume collects notes of the lectures given from the summers of 2000, 2001 and 2002"--Preface, v. 2.
Ernst Zermelo - Collected Works/Gesammelte Werke II
Ernst Zermelo (1871-1953) is regarded as the founder of axiomatic set theory and is best-known for the first formulation of the axiom of choice. However, his papers also include pioneering work in applied mathematics and mathematical physics. This edition of his collected papers consists of two volumes. The present Volume II covers Ernst Zermelo’s work on the calculus of variations, applied mathematics, and physics. The papers are each presented in their original language together with an English translation, the versions facing each other on opposite pages. Each paper or coherent group of papers is preceded by an introductory note provided by an acknowledged expert in the field who comments on the historical background, motivation, accomplishments, and influence.
Peyresq Lectures on Nonlinear Phenomena
Nonlinear science has a very broad scope and the aim of this volume of lectures is to introduce different aspects of this vast domain to research students whose studies are necessarily concentrated on only one. The lectures given at summer schools in France between 1997 and 1999, describe analytical, geometrical and experimental approaches to subjects as diverse as turbulence, elasticity, physiology, classical mechanics, quantum chaos, water waves and the laser cooling of atoms. Contents:Elasticity and Geometry (B Audoly & Y Pomeau)Quantum Chaos (D Delande)The Water-Wave Problem as a Spatial Dynamical System (G Iooss)Cold Atoms and Multiple Scattering (R Kaiser)An Introduction to Zakharov Theory of Weak Turbulence (M L Bellac)Phenomena Beyond All Orders and Bifurcations of Reversible Homoclinic Connections Near Higher Resonances (E Lombardi)Mathematical Modelling in the Life Sciences: Applications in Pattern Formation and Wound Healing (P K Maini)Relative Equilibria and Conserved Quantities in Symmetric Hamiltonian System (J Montaldi) Readership: Graduate students in chaos and dynamical systems.
