Description
Book SynopsisThis volume includes six chapters that detail recent advancements in mathematics research. Chapter One presents various capabilities of the Maple computer algebra system. Chapter Two uses data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study to demonstrate how to perform multilevel structural equation modelling to investigate if academic aspiration of immigrant youths in late adolescence mediates both the effects of family socioeconomic status and school location at individual and school levels in early adolescence on their later successful college graduation in young adulthood. Chapter Three proves the existence and regularity of solutions in α-norm for some partial functional integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces. Chapter Four discusses a method for obtaining exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. Chapter Five analyses the linear and nonlinear stability of modons and We-Verkley waves, which are weak solutions of the barotropic vorticity equation. Lastly, Chapter Six provides an explicit representation of the maps interconnecting the sets of solutions to the special double confluent Heun equation and the equation of the RSJ model of overdamped Josephson junction in case of shifted sinusoidal bias.
