Skyrmions and Hall Transport (Hardcover): Bom Soo Kim Skyrmions and Hall Transport (Hardcover)
Bom Soo Kim
R3,504 Discovery Miles 35 040 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the past decade, the field of physics has witnessed renewed advances in physical systems without mirror (parity) symmetry. Experimentally, chiral magnetic skyrmions discovered in real materials have stirred a great deal of interest in future spintronic applications due to their nanoscale size, topological protection, and energy efficiency. Theoretically, the Hall viscosity, a new universal transport coefficient, through the progress in hydrodynamics has triggered extensive theoretical investigation in quantum Hall systems. This book provides an extensive account of skyrmion dynamics, using various analytical tools, especially the field theory Ward identity that is a first principle method using symmetries and the associated conservation equations. The identity revealed that Hall viscosity is a universal part of skyrmion motion. This book leads readers to frontline research in searching for the role of the mysterious Hall viscosity in skyrmion physics, using the interdisciplinary point of view that encompasses high-energy physics, condensed matter, and materials science. It also provides the necessary backgrounds and physical clarity for advanced undergraduates to meaningfully explore its contents through mathematical expressions conveyed in both vector and index notations.

R3,812 Discovery Miles 38 120 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book introduces readers to innovative bio-inspired computing techniques for image processing applications. It demonstrates how a significant drawback of image processing - not providing the simultaneous benefits of high accuracy and less complexity - can be overcome, proposing bio-inspired methodologies to help do so. Besides computing techniques, the book also sheds light on the various application areas related to image processing, and weighs the pros and cons of specific methodologies. Even though several such methodologies are available, most of them do not provide the simultaneous benefits of high accuracy and less complexity, which explains their low usage in connection with practical imaging applications, such as the medical scenario. Lastly, the book illustrates the methodologies in detail, making it suitable for newcomers to the field and advanced researchers alike.

TP-Model Transformation-Based-Control Design Frameworks (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016): Peter Baranyi TP-Model Transformation-Based-Control Design Frameworks (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)
Peter Baranyi
R2,537 R2,097 Discovery Miles 20 970 Save R440 (17%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book covers new aspects and frameworks of control, design, and optimization based on the TP model transformation and its various extensions. The author outlines the three main steps of polytopic and LMI based control design: 1) development of the qLPV state-space model, 2) generation of the polytopic model; and 3) application of LMI to derive controller and observer. He goes on to describe why literature has extensively studied LMI design, but has not focused much on the second step, in part because the generation and manipulation of the polytopic form was not tractable in many cases. The author then shows how the TP model transformation facilitates this second step and hence reveals new directions, leading to powerful design procedures and the formulation of new questions. The chapters of this book, and the complex dynamical control tasks which they cover, are organized so as to present and analyze the beneficial aspect of the family of approaches (control, design, and optimization). Additionally, the book aims to convey simple TP modeling; a new convex hull manipulation based possibilities for optimization; a general framework for stability analysis; standardized modeling and system description; relaxed and universal LMI based design framework; and a gateway to time-delayed systems.

Tilo Strutz
R3,697 Discovery Miles 36 970 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The subject of data fitting bridges many disciplines, especially those traditionally dealing with statistics like physics, mathematics, engineering, biology, economy, or psychology, but also more recent fields like computer vision. This book addresses itself to engineers and computer scientists or corresponding undergraduates who are interested in data fitting by the method of least-squares approximation, but have no or only limited pre-knowledge in this field. Experienced readers will find in it new ideas or might appreciate the book as a useful work of reference. Familiarity with basic linear algebra is helpful though not essential as the book includes a self-contained introduction and presents the method in a logical and accessible fashion. The primary goal of the text is to explain how data fitting via least squares works. The reader will find that the emphasis of the book is on practical matters, not on theoretical problems. In addition, the book enables the reader to design own software implementations with application-specific model functions based on the comprehensive discussion of several examples. The text is accompanied with working source code in ANSI-C for fitting with weighted least squares including outlier detection. Among others the book covers following topics * fitting of linear and nonlinear functions with one- or multi-dimensional variables * weighted least-squares * outlier detection * evaluation of the fitting results * different optimisation strategies * combined fitting of different model functions * total least-squares approach with multi-dimensional conditions
