Presents current meta-ecosystem models and their derivation from classical ecosystem and metapopulation theories. Specifically, it reviews recent modelling efforts that have emphasized the role of nonlinear dynamics on spatial and food web networks, and which have cast their imp…
This user-friendly text shows how to use concise illustrations and college mathematics to understand and analyze fascinating dynamic phenomena in our everyday lives. Rather than providing a wide variety of disconnected topics in the field of dynamics, this book shows how these t…

This book presents a differential geometric method for designing nonlinear observers for multiple types of nonlinear systems, including single and multiple outputs, fully and partially observable systems, and regular and singular dynamical systems. It is an exposition of achieve…
This book disseminates the latest results and envisages new challenges in the application of mathematics to various practical situations in biology, epidemiology, and ecology. It comprises a collection of the main results presented at the Ninth Edition of the International Works…
This first of three volumes from the inaugural NODYCON, held at the University of Rome, in February of 2019, presents papers devoted to Nonlinear Dynamics of Structures, Systems and Devices. The collection features both well-established streams of research as well as novel areas…
"This volume looks at the study of dynamical systems with discontinuities. Discontinuities arise when systems are subject to switches, decisions, or other abrupt changes in their underlying properties that require a 'non-smooth' definition. A review of current ideas and introduc…
Motivated by recent increased activity of research on time scales, the book provides a systematic approach to the study of the qualitative theory of boundedness, periodicity and stability of Volterra integro-dynamic equations on time scales. Researchers and graduate students who…
The book faces the interplay among dynamical properties of semigroups, analytical properties of infinitesimal generators and geometrical properties of Koenigs functions. The book includes precise descriptions of the behavior of trajectories, backward orbits, petals and boundary …

This book gathers papers on recent advances in the ergodic theory of group actions on homogeneous spaces and on geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds presented at the workshop "Geometric and Ergodic Aspects of Group Actions," organized by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Re…
'Engineering Mechanics' excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of engineering mechanics. It empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Hibbeler's everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn. It is shaped by…
