    • Advanced Topics in the Theory of Dynamical Systems

      Notes and Reports in Mathematics in Science and Engineering, Vol. 6
      • 1st Edition
      • G. Fusco + 2 more
      • English
      Advanced Topics in the Theory of Dynamical Systems covers the proceedings of the international conference by the same title, held at Villa Madruzzo, Trento, Italy on June 1-6, 1987. The conference reviews research advances in the field of dynamical systems. This book is composed of 20 chapters that explore the theoretical aspects and problems arising from applications of these systems. Considerable chapters are devoted to finite dimensional systems, with special emphasis on the analysis of existence of periodic solutions to Hamiltonian systems. Other chapters deal with infinite dimensional systems and the developments of methods in the general approach to existence and qualitative analysis problems in the general theory, as well as in the study of particular systems concerning natural sciences. The final chapters discuss the properties of hyperbolic sets, equivalent period doubling, Cauchy problems, and quasiperiodic solitons for nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations. This book is of value to mathematicians, physicists, researchers, and advance students.

    • Handbook of Mathematical Formulas

      • 1st Edition
      • Hans-Jochen Bartsch
      • English
      Handbook of Mathematical Formulas presents a compilation of formulas to provide the necessary educational aid. This book covers the whole field from the basic rules of arithmetic, via analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus through to Fourier's series and the basics of probability calculus. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the fundamental notions of set theory. This text then explains linear expression wherein the variables are only multiplied by constants and added to constants or expressions of the same kind. Other chapters consider a variety of topics, including matrices, statistics, linear optimization, Boolean algebra, and Laplace's transforms. This book discusses as well the various systems of coordinates in analytical geometry. The final chapter deals with algebra of logic and its development into a two-value Boolean algebra as switching algebra. This book is intended to be suitable for students of technical schools, colleges, and universities.

    • Near-Rings and Near-Fields

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 137
      • G. Betsch
      • English
      Most topics in near-ring and near-field theory are treated here, along with an extensive introduction to the theory.There are two invited lectures: ``Non-Commutative Geometry, Near-Rings and Near-Fields'' which indicates the relevance of near-rings and near-fields for geometry, while ``Pseudo-Finite Near-Fields'' shows the impressive power of model theoretic methods. The remaining papers cover such topics as D.G. near-rings, radical theory, KT-near-fields, matrix near-rings, and applications to systems theory.

    • Computable Structures and the Hyperarithmetical Hierarchy

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 144
      • C.J. Ash + 1 more
      • English
      This book describes a program of research in computable structure theory. The goal is to find definability conditions corresponding to bounds on complexity which persist under isomorphism. The results apply to familiar kinds of structures (groups, fields, vector spaces, linear orderings Boolean algebras, Abelian p-groups, models of arithmetic). There are many interesting results already, but there are also many natural questions still to be answered. The book is self-contained in that it includes necessary background material from recursion theory (ordinal notations, the hyperarithmetical hierarchy) and model theory (infinitary formulas, consistency properties).
