"This book presents experimental techniques in the field of aerodynamics, a discipline that is essential in numerous areas, such as the design of aerial and ground vehicles and engines, the production of energy, and understanding the wind resistance of buildings. Aerodynamics is…
This book gathers together much of the author's work - both old and new - to explore a number of the key increases in complexity seen in the natural world, seeking to explain each of them purely in terms of the features of fitness landscapes. In a very straightforward manner, th…

Perturbation Methods in Science and Engineering provides the fundamental and advanced topics in perturbation methods in science and engineering, from an application viewpoint. This book bridges the gap between theory and applications, in new as well as classical problems. The en…
In this thesis I explore three new topics in Dynamical Systems. In Chapters 2 and 3 I investigate the dynamics of a family of asynchronous linear systems. These systems are of interest as models for asynchronous processes in economics and computer science and as novel ways to so…
In this thesis, we present a dynamical systems analysis of models of movement coordination, namely the Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) model and the Jirsa-Kelso excitator (JKE). The dynamical properties of the models that can describe various phenomena in discrete and rhythmic movements …
Piecewise smooth maps appear as models of various physical, economical and other systems. In such maps bifurcations can occur when a fixed point or periodic orbit crosses or collides with the border between two regions of smooth behaviour as a system parameter is varied. These b…
The details of the way in which the Earth orbits the Sun can have profound effects on Earth’s climate. Elements such as the Earth’s tilt or how tight the orbit is can affect temperature distribution or glacial formation. One event that could lead to such changes is if a star pas…
Attractors and Lyapunov Functions -- Singular Values, Exterior Calculus and Logarithmic Norms -- Introduction to Dimension Theory. . This book provides analytical and numerical methods for the estimation of dimension characteristics (Hausdorff, Fractal, Carathéodory dimensions)…
This tenth volume in the Poincaré Seminar Series describes recent developments at one of the most challenging frontiers in statistical physics - the deeply related fields of glassy dynamics, especially near the glass transition, and of the statics and dynamics of granular system…
