Springer Nature Switzerland AG Delay and Uncertainty in Human Balancing Tasks
Book SynopsisThis book demonstrates how delay differential equations (DDEs) can be used to compliment the laboratory investigation of human balancing tasks. This approach is made accessible to non-specialists by comparing mathematical predictions and experimental observations. For example, the observation that a longer pole is easier to balance on a fingertip than a shorter one demonstrates the essential role played by a time delay in the balance control mechanism. Another balancing task considered is postural sway during quiet standing. With the inverted pendulum as the driver and the feedback control depending on state variables or on an internal model, the feedback can be identified by determining a critical pendulum length and/or a critical delay. This approach is used to identify the nature of the feedback for the pole balancing and postural sway examples. Motivated by the question of how the nervous system deals with these feedback control challenges, there is a discussion of ‘’microchaotic’’ fluctuations in balance control and how robust control can be achieved in the face of uncertainties in the estimation of control parameters. The final chapter suggests some topics for future research.Each chapter includes an abstract and a point-by-point summary of the main concepts that have been established. A particularly useful numerical integration method for the DDEs that arise in balance control is semi-discretization. This method is described and a MATLAB template is provided.This book will be a useful source for anyone studying balance in humans, other bipedal organisms and humanoid robots. Much of the material has been used by the authors to teach senior undergraduates in computational neuroscience and students in bio-systems, biomedical, mechanical and neural engineering.

Springer International Publishing AG Difference Matrices for ODE and PDE: A MATLAB®
Book SynopsisThe use of difference matrices and high-level MATLAB® commands to implement finite difference algorithms is pedagogically novel. This unique and concise textbook gives the reader easy access and a general ability to use first and second difference matrices to set up and solve linear and nonlinear systems in MATLAB which approximate ordinary and partial differential equations. Prerequisites include a knowledge of basic calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations. Some knowledge of partial differential equations is a plus though the text may easily serve as a supplement for the student currently working through an introductory PDEs course. Familiarity with MATLAB is not required though a little prior experience with programming would be helpful. In addition to its special focus on solving in MATLAB, the abundance of examples and exercises make this text versatile in use. It would serve well in a graduate course in introductory scientific computing for partial differential equations. With prerequisites mentioned above plus some elementary numerical analysis, most of the material can be covered and many of the exercises assigned in a single semester course. Some of the more challenging exercises make substantial projects and relate to topics from other typical graduate mathematics courses, e.g., linear algebra, differential equations, or topics in nonlinear functional analysis. A selection of the exercises may be assigned as projects throughout the semester. The student will develop the skills to run simulations corresponding to the primarily theoretical course material covered by the instructor. The book can serve as a supplement for the instructor teaching any course in differential equations. Many of the examples can be easily implemented and the resulting simulation demonstrated by the instructor. If the course has a numerical component, a few of the more difficult exercises may be assigned as student projects. Established researchers in theoretical partial differential equations may find this book useful as well, particularly as an introductory guide for their research students. Those unfamiliar with MATLAB can use the material as a reference to quickly develop their own applications in that language. Practical assistance in implementing algorithms in MATLAB can be found in these pages. A mathematician who is new to the practical implementation of methods for scientific computation in general can learn how to implement and execute numerical simulations of differential equations in MATLAB with relative ease by working through a selection of exercises. Additionally, the book can serve as a practical guide in independent study, undergraduate or graduate research experiences, or for reference in simulating solutions to specific thesis or dissertation-related experiments.Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG Essential Partial Differential Equations: Analytical and Computational Aspects
Book SynopsisThis volume provides an introduction to the analytical and numerical aspects of partial differential equations (PDEs). It unifies an analytical and computational approach for these; the qualitative behaviour of solutions being established using classical concepts: maximum principles and energy methods. Notable inclusions are the treatment of irregularly shaped boundaries, polar coordinates and the use of flux-limiters when approximating hyperbolic conservation laws. The numerical analysis of difference schemes is rigorously developed using discrete maximum principles and discrete Fourier analysis. A novel feature is the inclusion of a chapter containing projects, intended for either individual or group study, that cover a range of topics such as parabolic smoothing, travelling waves, isospectral matrices, and the approximation of multidimensional advection–diffusion problems.The underlying theory is illustrated by numerous examples and there are around 300 exercises, designed to promote and test understanding. They are starred according to level of difficulty. Solutions to odd-numbered exercises are available to all readers while even-numbered solutions are available to authorised instructors.Written in an informal yet rigorous style, Essential Partial Differential Equations is designed for mathematics undergraduates in their final or penultimate year of university study, but will be equally useful for students following other scientific and engineering disciplines in which PDEs are of practical importance. The only prerequisite is a familiarity with the basic concepts of calculus and linear algebra.Trade Review“The book is written in an engaging and lively style that will appeal to students. … aim of the Springer SUMS series is to take a ‘fresh and modern approach’ to core foundational material through to final year topics.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Mixed Finite Elements, Compatibility Conditions, and Applications: Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, June 26 - July 1, 2006
Book SynopsisSince the early 70's, mixed finite elements have been the object of a wide and deep study by the mathematical and engineering communities. The fundamental role of this method for many application fields has been worldwide recognized and its use has been introduced in several commercial codes. An important feature of mixed finite elements is the interplay between theory and application. Discretization spaces for mixed schemes require suitable compatibilities, so that simple minded approximations generally do not work and the design of appropriate stabilizations gives rise to challenging mathematical problems. This volume collects the lecture notes of a C.I.M.E. course held in Summer 2006, when some of the most world recognized experts in the field reviewed the rigorous setting of mixed finite elements and revisited it after more than 30 years of practice. Applications, in this volume, range from traditional ones, like fluid-dynamics or elasticity, to more recent and active fields, like electromagnetism.Table of ContentsMixed Finite Element Methods.- Finite Elements for the Stokes Problem.- Polynomial Exact Sequences and Projection-Based Interpolation with Application to Maxwell Equations.- Finite Element Methods for Linear Elasticity.- Finite Elements for the Reissner–Mindlin Plate.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Partial Differential Equations with Numerical
Book SynopsisThe main theme is the integration of the theory of linear PDE and the theory of finite difference and finite element methods. For each type of PDE, elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic, the text contains one chapter on the mathematical theory of the differential equation, followed by one chapter on finite difference methods and one on finite element methods. The chapters on elliptic equations are preceded by a chapter on the two-point boundary value problem for ordinary differential equations. Similarly, the chapters on time-dependent problems are preceded by a chapter on the initial-value problem for ordinary differential equations. There is also one chapter on the elliptic eigenvalue problem and eigenfunction expansion. The presentation does not presume a deep knowledge of mathematical and functional analysis. The required background on linear functional analysis and Sobolev spaces is reviewed in an appendix. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students of applied mathematics and engineering.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:"The book under review is an introduction to the field of linear partial differential equations and to standard methods for their numerical solution. … The balanced combination of mathematical theory with numerical analysis is an essential feature of the book. … The book is easily accessible and concentrates on the main ideas while avoiding unnecessary technicalities.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG The Finite Element Method: Theory,
Book SynopsisThis book gives an introduction to the finite element method as a general computational method for solving partial differential equations approximately. Our approach is mathematical in nature with a strong focus on the underlying mathematical principles, such as approximation properties of piecewise polynomial spaces, and variational formulations of partial differential equations, but with a minimum level of advanced mathematical machinery from functional analysis and partial differential equations. In principle, the material should be accessible to students with only knowledge of calculus of several variables, basic partial differential equations, and linear algebra, as the necessary concepts from more advanced analysis are introduced when needed. Throughout the text we emphasize implementation of the involved algorithms, and have therefore mixed mathematical theory with concrete computer code using the numerical software MATLAB is and its PDE-Toolbox. We have also had the ambition to cover some of the most important applications of finite elements and the basic finite element methods developed for those applications, including diffusion and transport phenomena, solid and fluid mechanics, and also electromagnetics.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Stresses in glaciers: Methods of Calculation
Book SynopsisIn this book, for the first time, a hitherto unknown general solution of the reliably known stress conditions is presented. This general solution forms a reliable and new starting point to get further in stress calculations than before. In this way, approximately realistic solutions can be found despite a recurring problem: the information deficits that are unavoidable due to the difficulty of exploring glaciers. This issue is demonstrated by the example of stagnating glaciers. For horizontally isotropic homogeneous tabular iceberg models, even mathematically exact unambiguous solutions of all relevant conditions are presented. All calculations use only elementary arithmetic operations, differentiations and integrations. The mathematical fundamentals are presented in detail and explained in many application examples. The integral operators specific to calculations of stresses facilitate the mathematical considerations. The stand-alone text allows the reader to understand what is involved even without considering the formulas. The author Peter Halfar is a theoretical physicist. He also developed a model of the movement of large ice caps (1983), which is still in use today.Table of ContentsI Introduction and fundamentals.

Jainendra K Jain Spectral Theory of Dynamical Systems
Book SynopsisThis book treats some basic topics in the spectral theory of dynamical systems. The treatment is at a general level, but two more advanced theorems, one by H. Helson and W. Parry and the other by B. Host, are presented. Moreover, Ornstein's family of mixing rank one automorphisms is described with construction and proof. Systems of imprimitivity and their relevance to ergodic theory are discussed, and Baire category theorems of ergodic theory, scattered in the literature, are derived in a unified way. Riesz products are considered and they are used to describe the spectral types and eigenvalues of rank one automorphisms.The major change in this edition is that a new chapter titled Calculus of Generalized Riesz Products has been added. This is based on some recent work of the author with El Houcein El Abdalaoui and supplements the material presented elsewhere in the book.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Brakke's Mean Curvature Flow: An Introduction
Book SynopsisThis book explains the notion of Brakke’s mean curvature flow and its existence and regularity theories without assuming familiarity with geometric measure theory. The focus of study is a time-parameterized family of k-dimensional surfaces in the n-dimensional Euclidean space (1 ≤ k < n). The family is the mean curvature flow if the velocity of motion of surfaces is given by the mean curvature at each point and time. It is one of the simplest and most important geometric evolution problems with a strong connection to minimal surface theory. In fact, equilibrium of mean curvature flow corresponds precisely to minimal surface. Brakke’s mean curvature flow was first introduced in 1978 as a mathematical model describing the motion of grain boundaries in an annealing pure metal. The grain boundaries move by the mean curvature flow while retaining singularities such as triple junction points. By using a notion of generalized surface called a varifold from geometric measure theory which allows the presence of singularities, Brakke successfully gave it a definition and presented its existence and regularity theories. Recently, the author provided a complete proof of Brakke’s existence and regularity theorems, which form the content of the latter half of the book. The regularity theorem is also a natural generalization of Allard’s regularity theorem, which is a fundamental regularity result for minimal surfaces and for surfaces with bounded mean curvature. By carefully presenting a minimal amount of mathematical tools, often only with intuitive explanation, this book serves as a good starting point for the study of this fascinating object as well as a comprehensive introduction to other important notions from geometric measure theory.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Time-Fractional Differential Equations: A Theoretical Introduction
Book SynopsisThis book aims to establish a foundation for fractional derivatives and fractional differential equations. The theory of fractional derivatives enables considering any positive order of differentiation. The history of research in this field is very long, with its origins dating back to Leibniz. Since then, many great mathematicians, such as Abel, have made contributions that cover not only theoretical aspects but also physical applications of fractional calculus. The fractional partial differential equations govern phenomena depending both on spatial and time variables and require more subtle treatments. Moreover, fractional partial differential equations are highly demanded model equations for solving real-world problems such as the anomalous diffusion in heterogeneous media. The studies of fractional partial differential equations have continued to expand explosively. However we observe that available mathematical theory for fractional partial differential equations is not still complete. In particular, operator-theoretical approaches are indispensable for some generalized categories of solutions such as weak solutions, but feasible operator-theoretic foundations for wide applications are not available in monographs.To make this monograph more readable, we are restricting it to a few fundamental types of time-fractional partial differential equations, forgoing many other important and exciting topics such as stability for nonlinear problems. However, we believe that this book works well as an introduction to mathematical research in such vast fields.Trade Review“The book is written nicely and useful as an introductory book on time fractional derivatives in abstract spaces.” (Syed Abbas, zbMATH 1485.34002, 2022)Table of Contents

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Notes on the Stationary p-Laplace Equation
Book SynopsisThis book in the BCAM SpringerBriefs series is a treatise on the p-Laplace equation. It is based on lectures by the author that were originally delivered at the Summer School in Jyväskylä, Finland, in August 2005 and have since been updated and extended to cover various new topics, including viscosity solutions and asymptotic mean values. The p-Laplace equation is a far-reaching generalization of the ordinary Laplace equation, but it is non-linear and degenerate (p>2) or singular (p<2). Thus it requires advanced methods. Many fascinating properties of the Laplace equation are, in some modified version, extended to the p-Laplace equation. Nowadays the theory is almost complete, although some challenging problems remain open.Trade Review“The book will provide the reader with an up-to-date overview on the p-Laplace equation and will uncover ideas behind some concepts and involved results in the field.” (Vladimir Bobkov, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2019)“The book is a very useful contribution to the growing literature on this circle of ideas.

Nova Science Publishers Inc A Closer Look at Boundary Value Problems
Book SynopsisMany problems encountered in applied mathematics or mathematical physics can be modelled by using differential equations under different boundary conditions. In this regard, linear and nonlinear partial differential equations are often used because of their strong capacity to describe and formulate many real-world problems governed by dynamical phenomena. There are many different methods to solve linear and nonlinear problems arising from different studies in various disciplines. However, due to lack of general existence theorems for establishing solutions, scientists have to seek alternative approaches and methods. In this context, the present work demonstrates different methods and approaches to obtain solutions to some class of differential equations given under different boundary conditions. The present book, where contemporary developments in the area of boundary value problems is shared, can be beneficial to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers who are interested in the area of differential equations.Table of ContentsPreface; Boundary Value Problem of CO2 Production and Transport in Forest Sandy Soil; Boundary Value Problem of Hydrogen Thermal Desorption: Reduction to Fractional Differential Equation; Exact Absorbing Conditions for Initial Boundary Value Problems of Computational Electrodynamics: A Review; Diffraction Boundary Value Problems for Electromagnetic Theory of Inhomogeneous Multilayered Media: Riccati Equation Method; The Linearization Methods as a Basis to Derive the Relaxation and the Shooting Methods; The Existence of Boundary Value Problems of Fifth Painlevè Equation in a Complex Domain; Existence of Solutions for a Steklov Problem with Variable Exponent; On a Class of Kirchhoff Type Problems Involving Critical Exponents and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg Inequalities; Index.
