An Introduction to Piecewise Smooth Dynamics

Viac o knihe

Focusing on models with discontinuities, this book serves mathematicians, scientists, and engineers exploring nonsmooth systems. It features two complementary courses on piecewise smooth flows and maps. The authors progress from established theoretical results to contemporary challenges, covering topics such as stability analysis, bifurcation, singularities, and kneading theory. Rich with examples, the text effectively illustrates the theoretical concepts, making it a valuable resource for those delving into this specialized field.
