Book Description
Nonlinear difference equations of order greater than one are of paramount impor tance in applications where the (n + 1)st generation (or state) of the system depends on the previous k generations (or states). Such equations also appear naturally as discrete analogues and as numerical solutions of differential and delay differential equations which model various diverse phenomena in biology, ecology, physiology, physics, engineering and economics. Our aim in this monograph is to initiate a systematic study of the global behavior of solutions of nonlinear scalar difference equations of order greater than one. Our primary concern is to study the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium solution. We are also interested in whether the solutions are bounded away from zero and infinity, in the description of the semi cycles of the solutions, and in the existence of periodic solutions. This monograph contains some recent important developments in this area together with some applications to mathematical biology. Our intention is to expose the reader to the frontiers of the subject and to formulate some important open problems that require our immediate attention.

Nonlinear Stochastic Operator Equations
Author: George Adomian
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483259099
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Nonlinear Stochastic Operator Equations deals with realistic solutions of the nonlinear stochastic equations arising from the modeling of frontier problems in many fields of science. This book also discusses a wide class of equations to provide modeling of problems concerning physics, engineering, operations research, systems analysis, biology, medicine. This text discusses operator equations and the decomposition method. This book also explains the limitations, restrictions and assumptions made in differential equations involving stochastic process coefficients (the stochastic operator case), which yield results very different from the needs of the actual physical problem. Real-world application of mathematics to actual physical problems, requires making a reasonable model that is both realistic and solvable. The decomposition approach or model is an approximation method to solve a wide range of problems. This book explains an inherent feature of real systems—known as nonlinear behavior—that occurs frequently in nuclear reactors, in physiological systems, or in cellular growth. This text also discusses stochastic operator equations with linear boundary conditions. This book is intended for students with a mathematics background, particularly senior undergraduate and graduate students of advanced mathematics, of the physical or engineering sciences.

Analytic Solutions of Functional Equations
Author: Sui Sun Cheng
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9812793348
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
This book presents a self-contained and unified introduction to the properties of analytic functions. Based on recent research results, it provides many examples of functional equations to show how analytic solutions can be found.Unlike in other books, analytic functions are treated here as those generated by sequences with positive radii of convergence. By developing operational means for handling sequences, functional equations can then be transformed into recurrence relations or difference equations in a straightforward manner. Their solutions can also be found either by qualitative means or by computation. The subsequent formal power series function can then be asserted as a true solution once convergence is established by various convergence tests and majorization techniques. Functional equations in this book may also be functional differential equations or iterative equations, which are different from the differential equations studied in standard textbooks since composition of known or unknown functions are involved.

Analysis and Topology in Nonlinear Differential Equations
Author: Djairo G de Figueiredo
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319042149
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This volume is a collection of articles presented at the Workshop for Nonlinear Analysis held in João Pessoa, Brazil, in September 2012. The influence of Bernhard Ruf, to whom this volume is dedicated on the occasion of his 60th birthday, is perceptible throughout the collection by the choice of themes and techniques. The many contributors consider modern topics in the calculus of variations, topological methods and regularity analysis, together with novel applications of partial differential equations. In keeping with the tradition of the workshop, emphasis is given to elliptic operators inserted in different contexts, both theoretical and applied. Topics include semi-linear and fully nonlinear equations and systems with different nonlinearities, at sub- and supercritical exponents, with spectral interactions of Ambrosetti-Prodi type. Also treated are analytic aspects as well as applications such as diffusion problems in mathematical genetics and finance and evolution equations related to electromechanical devices.

The Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method
Author: Vasile Marinca
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319153749
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This book emphasizes in detail the applicability of the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method to various engineering problems. It is a continuation of the book “Nonlinear Dynamical Systems in Engineering: Some Approximate Approaches”, published at Springer in 2011 and it contains a great amount of practical models from various fields of engineering such as classical and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, nonlinear oscillations, electrical machines and so on. The main structure of the book consists of 5 chapters. The first chapter is introductory while the second chapter is devoted to a short history of the development of homotopy methods, including the basic ideas of the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method. The last three chapters, from Chapter 3 to Chapter 5, are introducing three distinct alternatives of the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method with illustrative applications to nonlinear dynamical systems. The third chapter deals with the first alternative of our approach with two iterations. Five applications are presented from fluid mechanics and nonlinear oscillations. The Chapter 4 presents the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method with a single iteration and solving the linear equation on the first approximation. Here are treated 32 models from different fields of engineering such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, nonlinear damped and undamped oscillations, electrical machines and even from physics and biology. The last chapter is devoted to the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method with a single iteration but without solving the equation in the first approximation.
