Optimal Control / Leslie M. Hocking

Public ISBD Titre : Optimal Control : An introduction to the theory with applications Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leslie M. Hocking, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-859682-0 Catégories : Informatique Informatique:Divers Informatique:Divers:Technique de la commande automatique Index. décimale : 629.8 Technique de la commande automatique Résumé : Systems that evolve with time occur frequently in nature and modelling the behavior of such systems provides an important application of mathematics. These systems can be completely deterministic, but it may be possible too to control their behavior by intervention through "controls". The theory of optimal control is concerned with determining such controls which, at minimum cost, either direct the system along a given trajectory or enable it to reach a given point in its state space. This textbook is a straightforward introduction to the theory of optimal control with an emphasis on presenting many different applications. Professor Hocking has taken pains to ensure that the theory is developed to display the main themes of the arguments but without using sophisticated mathematical tools. Problems in this setting can arise across a wide range of subjects and there are illustrative examples of systems from fields as diverse as dynamics, economics, population control, and medicine. Throughout there are many worked examples, and numerous exercises (with solutions) are provided. Optimal Control : An introduction to the theory with applications [texte imprimé] / Leslie M.

Symmetry in Chaos / Michael Field

Public ISBD Titre : Symmetry in Chaos : A search for pattern in mathematics art and nature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael Field, Auteur ; Martin Golubitsky, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-853688-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Informatique Informatique:Systèmes Index. décimale : 003 Les Systèmes Résumé : Chaotic dynamics (known popularly as chaos theory or, more simply, chaos) is among the most fascinating new fields in modern science, revolutionizing our understanding of order and pattern in nature. Symmetry, a traditional and highly developed area of mathematics, would seem to lie at the opposite end of the spectrum. From the branching of trees to the rose windows of great cathedrals, symmetric patterns seem the antithesis of such chaotic systems as weather patterns. And yet, scientists are now finding connections between these two areas, connections which could have profound consequences for our understanding of the physical world. In Symmetry in Chaos, mathematicians Michael Field and Martin Golubitsky offer an engaging look at where these two fields meet. In the process, they have generated mathematically a series of stunning computer images linking symmetry and chaos.

Tensors & Manifollds / Robert H Wasserman

Public ISBD Titre : Tensors & Manifollds : With Applications to Mechanics and Relativity Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert H Wasserman, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-506561-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Informatique Informatique:Divers Informatique:Divers:Physique Index. décimale : 530 Physique Résumé : This book introduces the concepts of tensor algebras and differentiable manifolds to the intermediate-level student. It describes analytical and geometrical structures built on these basic concepts. Those structures -- which include differential forms and their integration, flows, Lie derivatives, distributions and their integrability conditions, connections, and pseudo-Riemannian and symplectic manifolds -- are then applied to the description of the fundamental ideas and Hamiltonian and Lagrangian mechanics, and special and general relativity. This book is designed to be accessible to the mathematics or physics student with a good standard undergraduate background, who is interested in obtaining a broader perspective of the rich interplay of mathematics and physics before deciding on a specialty.
