Books in the Nonlinear Physical Science series

This book explores recent developments in theoretical research and mathematical modelling of real-world complex systems, organized in four parts.  The first part of the book is devoted to the mathematical tools for the design and analysis in engineering and social science study cases. We discuss the periodic evolutions in nonlinear chemical processes, vibro-compact systems and their behaviour, different types of metal-semiconductor self-assembled samples, made of silver nanowires and zinc oxide nanorods.The second part of the book is devoted to mathematical description and modelling of the critical events, climate change and robust emergency scales. In three chapters, we consider a climate-economy model with endogenous carbon intensity and the behaviour of Tehran Stock Exchange market under international sanctions.The third part of the book is devoted to fractional dynamic and fractional control problems. We discuss the novel operational matrix technique for variable-order fractional optimal control problems, the nonlinear variable-order time fractional convection-diffusion equation with generalized polynomialsThe fourth part of the book concerns solvability and inverse problems in differential and integro-differential equations.The book facilitates a better understanding of the mechanisms and phenomena in nonlinear dynamics and develops the corresponding mathematical theory to apply nonlinear design to practical engineering. It can be read by mathematicians, physicists, complex systems scientists, IT specialists, civil engineers, data scientists and urban planners.

This book explores recent developments in theoretical research and data analysis of real-world complex systems, organized in three parts, namelyEntropy, information, and complexity functionsMultistability, oscillations, and rhythmic synchronizationDiffusions, rotation, and convection in fluids The collection of works devoted to the memory of Professor Valentin Afraimovich provides a deep insight into the recent developments in complexity science by introducing new concepts, methods, and applications in nonlinear dynamical systems covering physical problems and mathematical modelling relevant to economics, genetics, engineering vibrations, as well as classic problems in physics, fluid and climate dynamics, and urban dynamics. The book facilitates a better understanding of the mechanisms and phenomena in nonlinear dynamics and develops the corresponding mathematical theory to apply nonlinear design to practical engineering. It can be read by mathematicians, physicists, complex systems scientists, IT specialists, civil engineers, data scientists, and urban planners.

This book demonstrates how mathematical methods and techniques can be used in synergy and create a new way of looking at complex systems.

This book is about Lie group analysis of differential equations for physical and engineering problems. The topics include:-- Approximate symmetry in nonlinear physical problems-- Complex methods for Lie symmetry analysis-- Lie group classi¿cation, Symmetry analysis, and conservation laws -- Conservative difference schemes-- Hamiltonian structure and conservation laws of three-dimensional linear elasticity-- Involutive systems of partial differential equations This collection of works is written in memory of Professor Nail H. Ibragimov (1939¿2018). It could be used as a reference book in differential equations in mathematics, mechanical, and electrical engineering.

This book demonstrates how mathematical methods and techniques can be used in synergy and create a new way of looking at complex systems.

This book is the first to present the application of the hybrid system theory to systems with EPCA (equations with piecewise continuous arguments).

This book focuses on bifurcation theory for autonomous and nonautonomous differential equations with discontinuities of different types - those with jumps present either in the right-hand side, or in trajectories or in the arguments of solutions of equations.

"Fractional-Order Nonlinear Systems: Modeling, Analysis and Simulation" presents a study of fractional-order chaotic systems accompanied by Matlab programs for simulating their state space trajectories, which are shown in the illustrations in the book.

"Approximate and Renormgroup Symmetries" deals with approximate transformation groups, symmetries of integro-differential equations and renormgroup symmetries.
