Description

Reachable Sets of Dynamic Systems: Uncertainty, Sensitivity, and Complex Dynamics introduces differential inclusions, providing an overview as well as multiple examples of its interdisciplinary applications. The design of dynamic systems of any type is an important issue as is the influence of uncertainty in model parameters and model sensitivity. The possibility of calculating the reachable sets may be a powerful additional tool in such tasks. This book can help graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in the field of computer simulation and model building, in the calculation of reachable sets of dynamic models.

Key features

  • Introduces methodologies and approaches to the modeling and simulation of dynamic systems
  • Presents uncertainty treatment and model sensitivity are described, and interdisciplinary examples
  • Explores applications of differential inclusions in modeling and simulation

Readership

Review quotes

"The most important object…is the reachable set, which is understood as the union of graphs of all trajectories of the differential inclusion. Another essential concept developed by the author is functional sensitivity which is defined by using concepts of the calculus of variations...The principal feature of this monograph… is its constructive approach…recommended [for] students, researchers and engineers who are interested in control theory and differential inclusions as well as in the problems of computer simulation in these fields."—Valeri Obukhovskii, MathSciNet

"In this book it is presented the so called tychastic approach to treatment of the uncertainty. This approach is suitable for situations, where probabilistic characteristics of the simulated objects data are hardly available, or they do not exist at all. Then, a more realistic information concerns the possible bounds for the values of the parameters. Such information may provide a rough assessment of the real system behavior, but in many cases, this may be the only way to obtain reasonable results. This way of treating uncertainty leads in a natural way to applications of differential inclusions that are generalizations of a ordinary differential equations and are used as a main modelling tool in the book."—Mikhail I. Krastanov, zbMATHOpen
