Description for Nonlinear Wave Dynamics Hardback. The general idea advocated in this work is to start from complicated mathematical models describing wave motion as it results from the rules of continuum mechanics, and then to find a simpler viewpoint that still keeps everything essential preserved. Series: Texts in the Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 185 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHD; TGMD4. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 465.
At the end of the twentieth century, nonlinear dynamics turned out to be one of the most challenging and stimulating ideas. Notions like bifurcations, attractors, chaos, fractals, etc. have proved to be useful in explaining the world around us, be it natural or artificial. However, much of our everyday understanding is still based on linearity, i. e. on the additivity and the proportionality. The larger the excitation, the larger the response-this seems to be carved in a stone tablet. The real world is not always reacting this way and the additivity is simply lost. The most convenient way to describe ... Read more
