Dynamics Near the Subcritical Transition of the 3D Couette Flow II: Above Threshold Case (Paperback): Jacob Bedrossian, Pierre... Dynamics Near the Subcritical Transition of the 3D Couette Flow II: Above Threshold Case (Paperback)
Jacob Bedrossian, Pierre Germain, Nader Masmoudi
R2,217 Discovery Miles 22 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is the second in a pair of works which study small disturbances to the plane, periodic 3D Couette flow in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds number Re. In this work, we show that there is constant 0 0 exist at least until t = c0???1 and in general evolve to be O(c0) due to the lift-up e?ect. Further, after times t Re1/3, the streamwise dependence of the solution is rapidly diminished by a mixing-enhanced dissipation e?ect and the solution is attracted back to the class of "2.5 dimensional" streamwise-independent solutions (sometimes referred to as "streaks"). The largest of these streaks are expected to eventually undergo a secondary instability at t ? ???1. Hence, our work strongly suggests, for all (sufficiently regular) initial data, the genericity of the "lift-up e?ect streak growth streak breakdown" scenario for turbulent transition of the 3D Couette flow near the threshold of stability forwarded in the applied mathematics and physics literature.

Carmen Chicone
R3,529 Discovery Miles 35 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

An Invitation to Applied Mathematics: Differential Equations, Modeling, and Computation introduces the reader to the methodology of modern applied mathematics in modeling, analysis, and scientific computing with emphasis on the use of ordinary and partial differential equations. Each topic is introduced with an attractive physical problem, where a mathematical model is constructed using physical and constitutive laws arising from the conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, or Maxwell's electrodynamics. Relevant mathematical analysis (which might employ vector calculus, Fourier series, nonlinear ODEs, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory, potential theory, control theory, or probability theory) or scientific computing (which might include Newton's method, the method of lines, finite differences, finite elements, finite volumes, boundary elements, projection methods, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, or Lagrangian methods) is developed in context and used to make physically significant predictions. The target audience is advanced undergraduates (who have at least a working knowledge of vector calculus and linear ordinary differential equations) or beginning graduate students. Readers will gain a solid and exciting introduction to modeling, mathematical analysis, and computation that provides the key ideas and skills needed to enter the wider world of modern applied mathematics.

Gary Peterson, James Sochacki
R2,154 Discovery Miles 21 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Linear Algebra and Differential Equations has been written for a one-semester combined linear algebra and differential equations course, yet it contains enough material for a two-term sequence in linear algebra and differential equations. By introducing matrices, determinants, and vector spaces early in the course, the authors are able to fully develop the connections between linear algebra and differential equations. The book is flexible enough to be easily adapted to fit most syllabi, including separate courses that that cover linear algebra in the first followed by differential equations in the second. Technology is fully integrated where appropriate, and the text offers fresh and relevant applications to motivate student interest.

Volterra Integral and Differential Equations, Volume 202 (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Ted A. Burton Volterra Integral and Differential Equations, Volume 202 (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Ted A. Burton
R5,136 Discovery Miles 51 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Most mathematicians, engineers, and many other scientists are well-acquainted with theory and application of ordinary differential equations. This book seeks to present Volterra integral and functional differential equations in that same framwork, allowing the readers to parlay their knowledge of ordinary differential equations into theory and application of the more general problems. Thus, the presentation starts slowly with very familiar concepts and shows how these are generalized in a natural way to problems involving a memory. Liapunov's direct method is gently introduced and applied to many particular examples in ordinary differential equations, Volterra integro-differential equations, and functional differential equations.


By Chapter 7 the momentum has built until we are looking at problems on the frontier. Chapter 7 is entirely new, dealing with fundamental problems of the resolvent, Floquet theory, and total stability. Chapter 8 presents a solid foundation for the theory of functional differential equations. Many recent results on stability and periodic solutions of functional differential equations are given and unsolved problems are stated.


Key Features:


- Smooth transition from ordinary differential equations to integral and functional differential equations.
- Unification of the theories, methods, and applications of ordinary and functional differential equations.
- Large collection of examples of Liapunov functions.
- Description of the history of stability theory leading up to unsolved problems.
- Applications of the resolvent to stability and periodic problems.

Power Geometry in Algebraic and Differential Equations, Volume 57 (Hardcover, 1st ed): A.D Bruno Power Geometry in Algebraic and Differential Equations, Volume 57 (Hardcover, 1st ed)
A.D Bruno
R3,136 Discovery Miles 31 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The geometry of power exponents includes the Newton polyhedron, normal cones of its faces, power and logarithmic transformations. On the basis of the geometry universal algorithms for simplifications of systems of nonlinear equations (algebraic, ordinary differential and partial differential) were developed.
The algorithms form a new calculus which allows to make local and asymptotical analysis of solutions to those systems.
The efficiency of the calculus is demonstrated with regard to several complicated problems from Robotics, Celestial Mechanics, Hydrodynamics and Thermodynamics. The calculus also gives classical results obtained earlier intuitively and is an alternative to Algebraic Geometry, Differential Algebra, Lie group Analysis and Nonstandard Analysis.

This book is mainly devoted to explanation of this method and apply it to one-dimensional dynamical systems, including the circle and interval maps, which are typical in exhibiting complex behavior through simple iterated calculations. The knowledge for reading it is self-contained in the book.
