Bøger af Paul Glendinning

By providing an introduction to nonlinear differential equations, Dr Glendinning aims to equip the student with the mathematical know-how needed to appreciate stability theory and bifurcations. His approach is readable and covers material both old and new to undergraduate courses. Included are treatments of the Poincare-Bendixson theorem, the Hopf bifurcation and chaotic systems. The unique treatment that is found in this book will prove to be an essential guide to stability and chaos.

This book is aimed at mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, studying models that involve a discontinuity, or studying the theory of nonsmooth systems for its own sake.
