Every day, more and more kinds of historical data become available, opening exciting new avenues of inquiry but also new challenges. This updated and expanded book describes and demonstrates the ways ...

This book brings together two emerging research areas: synchronization in coupled nonlinear systems and complex networks, and study conditions under which a complex network of dynamical systems ...

This book gives a unified approach to the theory concerning a new matrix version of classical harmonic analysis. Most results in the book have their analogues as classical or newer results in harmonic ...

As growing attention is paid to climate change adaptation as an actual policy issue, the significant meaning of climate variability in adaptation decisions is beginning to be recognized. By using a ...

Recently, there has appeared a new type of evaluating partial differential equations with Volterra integral operators in various practical areas. Such equations possess new physical and mathematical ...

This book provides a systematic treatment of algebraic and topological properties of convex sets (possibly non-closed or unbounded) in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. Topics under consideration ...

“The main strength of the book lies in the detailed proofs of virtually all the results, as well as in interesting examples, ranging from simple to quite involved. Each chapter ends with a list of ...

Environmental economics, which used to be on the periphery of the economics discipline, is fast becoming mainstream as concern for the environment grows. Practitioners in other disciplines (e.g.

Abstract: Humans have been emitting greenhouse gases for eons but it was the industrial revolution, with its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and the capitalist system of production and consumption, ...

From the team behind Computer Science for Fun (cs4fn), The Power of Computational Thinking shows that learning to think can be fascinating fun. Can you become a computational thinker? Can machines ...

Abstract: Let A x ≦ b be a consistent system of linear [inequalities. The principal result is a quantitative formulation of the fact that if x “almost” satisfies the inequalities, then x is “close” to ...

In this paper, the dynamics of a Filippov system with logistically growing prey and Holling Type II predation is explored. The selective nonlinear harvesting of prey is carried out when the ratio of ...
