Download or read book From Finite to Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems written by James Robinson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains six papers originally presented at a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Cambridge, U.K. in 1995 on the fundamental properties of partial differential equations and modeling processes involving spatial dynamics. The contributors, from academic institutions in Europe and the U.S., discuss such topics as lattice dynamical systems, low-dimensional models of turbulence, and nonlinear dynamics of extended systems.

Download or read book Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems written by James C. Robinson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-23 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats the theory of global attractors, a recent development in the theory of partial differential equations, in a way that also includes much of the traditional elements of the subject. As such it gives a quick but directed introduction to some fundamental concepts, and by the end proceeds to current research problems. Since the subject is relatively new, this is the first book to attempt to treat these various topics in a unified and didactic way. It is intended to be suitable for first year graduate students.

Download or read book Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems in Mechanics and Physics written by Roger Temam and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first attempt at a systematic study of infinite dimensional dynamical systems generated by dissipative evolution partial differential equations arising in mechanics and physics. Other areas of science and technology are included where appropriate. The relation between infinite and finite dimensional systems is presented from a synthetic viewpoint and equations considered include reaction-diffusion, Navier-Stokes and other fluid mechanics equations, magnetohydrodynamics, thermohydraulics, pattern formation, Ginzburg-Landau, damped wave and an introduction to inertial manifolds.

Download or read book Control and Observer Design for Nonlinear Finite and Infinite Dimensional Systems written by Thomas Meurer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-09-19 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a well balanced combination of state-of-the-art theoretical results in the field of nonlinear controller and observer design, combined with industrial applications stemming from mechatronics, electrical, (bio–) chemical engineering, and fluid dynamics. The unique combination of results of finite as well as infinite–dimensional systems makes this book a remarkable contribution addressing postgraduates, researchers, and engineers both at universities and in industry. The contributions to this book were presented at the Symposium on Nonlinear Control and Observer Design: From Theory to Applications (SYNCOD), held September 15–16, 2005, at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. The conference and this book are dedicated to the 65th birthday of Prof. Dr.–Ing. Dr.h.c. Michael Zeitz to honor his life – long research and contributions on the fields of nonlinear control and observer design.

Download or read book Attractors for infinite-dimensional non-autonomous dynamical systems written by Alexandre Carvalho and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book treats the theory of attractors for non-autonomous dynamical systems. The aim of the book is to give a coherent account of the current state of the theory, using the framework of processes to impose the minimum of restrictions on the nature of the non-autonomous dependence. The book is intended as an up-to-date summary of the field, but much of it will be accessible to beginning graduate students. Clear indications will be given as to which material is fundamental and which is more advanced, so that those new to the area can quickly obtain an overview, while those already involved can pursue the topics we cover more deeply.

Download or read book The Connection between Infinite Dimensional and Finite Dimensional Dynamical Systems written by Basil Nicolaenko and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1989 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have seen a number of major developments demonstrating that the long-term behavior of solutions of a very large class of partial differential equations possesses a striking resemblance to the behavior of solutions of finite dimensional dynamical systems, or ordinary differential equations. The first of these advances was the discovery that a dissipative PDE has a compact, global attractor with finite Hausdorff and fractal dimensions. More recently, it was shown that some of these PDEs possess a finite dimensional inertial manifold-that is, an invariant manifold containing the attractor and exponentially attractive trajectories. With the improved understanding of the exact connection between finite dimensional dynamical systems and various classes of dissipative PDEs, it is now realistic to hope that the wealth of studies of such topics as bifurcations of finite vector fields and ``strange'' fractal attractors can be brought to bear on various mathematical models, including continuum flows. Surprisingly, a number of distributed systems from continuum mechanics have been found to exhibit the same nontrivial dynamic behavior as observed in low-dimensional dynamical systems. As a natural consequence of these observations, a new direction of research has arisen: detection and analysis of finite dimensional dynamical characteristics of infinite-dimensional systems. This book represents the proceedings of an AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference, held in July, 1987 at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Bringing together mathematicians and physicists, the conference provided a forum for presentations on the latest developments in the field and fostered lively interactions on open questions and future directions. With contributions from some of the top experts, these proceedings will provide readers with an overview of this vital area of research.
