Discontinuous Dynamical Systems on Time-varying Domains (Nonlinear Physical Science)
“Discontinuous Dynamical Systems on Time-varying Domains” is the first monograph focusing on this topic. While in the classic theory of dynamical systems the focus is on dynamical systems on time-invariant domains, this book presents discontinuous dynamical systems on time-varying domains where the corresponding switchability of a flow to the time-varying boundary in discontinuous dynamical systems is [...]
Models, Mysteries, and Magic of Molecules
Molecular behavior, which is no less than magical, holds the key to the understanding, not only of chemistry, but of all biology and of life itself. It is a mystery why molecular behavior should remain poorly understood and why the authoritative theories of physics have produced no more than superficial models to elucidate this vital [...]
