      Generalized Quantum Calculus with Applications is devoted to the qualitative theory of general quantum calculus and its applications to general quantum differential equations and inequalities. The book is aimed at upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students in a range of interdisciplinary courses including physical sciences and engineering, from quantum mechanics to differential equations, with pedagogically organized chapters that each concludes with a section of practical problems. Generalized quantum calculus includes a generalization of the q-quantum calculus and the time scale calculus. There are many open problems and difficulties in q-quantum calculus and time-scale calculus, and this book explores how to use the generalized quantum operators to solve difficulties arising in q-quantum calculus and time-scale calculus, including but not limited to generalized quantum integration, generalized quantum chain rules, and generalized quantum Taylor formula.Since generalized quantum calculus includes the q-quantum and time-scale calculus, this book can be utilized by a wide audience of researchers and students. This text is one of few foundational books on generalized quantum calculus and can be used for future discoveries in the area of integral transforms, variational calculus, integral equations, and inequalities in the language of generalized quantum calculus. This book also offers detailed proofs, exercises, and examples to aid instructors, researchers, and users in their studies.

      Approximation Theory and Applications: Piecewise Linear and Generalized Functions presents the main provisions of approximation theory, and considers existing and new methods for approximating piecewise linear and generalized functions, widely used to solve problems related to mathematical modeling of systems, processes, and phenomena in fields ranging from engineering to economics. The widespread use of piecewise linear and generalized functions is explained by the simplicity of their structure. However, challenges often arise when constructing solutions over the entire domain of these functions, requiring the use special mathematical methods to put theory into practice. This book first offers a first full foundation in approximation theory as it relates to piecewise linear and generalized functions, followed by staged methods to resolve common problems in practice, with applications examined across structural mechanics, medicine, quantum theory, signal theory, semiconductor theory, mechanical engineering, heat engineering, and other fields. Later chapters consider numerical verification of approximation methods, and approximation theory as the basis for new macroeconomic theory with impulse and jump characteristics. Each chapter includes questions for review and sample problems, accompanied by a separate Solutions Manual hosted for instructor access.

      Irreducible Tensorial Sets discusses mathematical methods originating from the theory of coupling and recoupling of angular momenta in atomic physics that constitute an extension of vector and tensor algebra. The book presents a unified treatment with a compact system of notations from different approaches, such as group theory, algebra, and quantum mechanical transformation theory. It discusses irreducible tensorial sets that cover different sets of quantities such as tensor components and states of atomic systems. It also explains quantum mechanical applications, coupling and recoupling of atomic and nuclear states, the Wigner-Eckart theorem, and the products of tensorial sets of operators. The text shows how to calculate the interaction energy between atomic systems couple with one another with a constant total angular momentum. The book also explains the correlations which are functions of the Euler angles between the frame of reference in which a radiation is observed and a frame of reference attached to the orienting radiation or field. It then cites sample problems related to the angular distribution of radiations. The book will prove useful for physicists, for mathematicians, or for readers with some knowledge in theoretical physics, particularly on theory of groups and quantum mechanics.

      Agent-Based Models with MATLAB introduces Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), one of the most important methodologies for complex systems modeling. The book explores computational implementations and accompanying MATLAB software code as a means of inspiring readers to apply agent-based models to solve a diverse range of problems. It comes with a large amount of software code that accompanies the main text, and the modeling systems described in the book are implemented using MATLAB as the programming language. Despite the heavy mathematical components of Agent-Based Models and complex systems, it is possible to utilize these models without in-depth understanding of their mathematical fundamentals.This book enables computer scientists, mathematicians, researchers, and engineers to apply ABM in a wide range of research and engineering applications. It gradually advances from basic to more advanced methods while reinforcing complex systems through practical, hands-on applications of various computational models.

Following a full grounding in fuzzy graph indices, connectivity in fuzzy graph structures, lattice isomorphisms, and similarity measures, the book applies these models in analyzing world challenges, from human trafficking to modern slavery, global poverty, global hunger, homelessness, biodiversity, extinction, terrorism and bioterrorism, pandemics, and climate change.Connections and constructive steps forward are tied throughout to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors demonstrate and instruct readers in applying techniques from mathematics of uncertainty in examining issues where accurate data is impossible to obtain. In addition to a diverse range of cases studies, exercises reinforce key concepts in each chapter, and an online instructor’s manual supports teaching across a range of course contexts.
