Presenting research papers contributed by experts in dynamics and
control, Advances in Dynamics and Control examines new ideas,
reviews the latest results, and investigates emerging directions in
the rapidly-growing field of aviation and aerospace.
Exploring a wide range of topics, key areas discussed include:
* rotorcraft dynamics
* stabilization of unstable aircraft
* spacecraft
* satellite dynamics and control
* missile auto-pilot and guidance design
* hybrid systems dynamics and control
* structural and acoustic modeling.
Impeccably-researched and expertly-written, this text is a valuable
reference for graduate students and scientific workers in
universities and industry.
One service mathematics has rendered the 'Et moi, "', si j'avait su
comment en revenir, je n'y serais point all."' human race. It has
put common sense back where it belongs, on the topmost shelf next
Jules Verne to the dusty canister labelled 'discarded non sense'.
The series is divergent; therefore we may be able to do something
with it. Eric T. Bell O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for
thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and
non linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of
mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences.
Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above
one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered
mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic has rendered com
puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered
mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable
this way form part of the raison d'etre of this series."
From a modelling point of view, it is more realistic to model a
phenomenon by a dynamic system which incorporates both continuous
and discrete times, namely, time as an arbitrary closed set of
reals called time-scale or measure chain. It is therefore natural
to ask whether it is possible to provide a framework which permits
us to handle both dynamic systems simultaneously so that one can
get some insight and a better understanding of the subtle
differences of these two different systems. The answer is
affirmative, and recently developed theory of dynamic systems on
time scales offers the desired unified approach. In this monograph,
we present the current state of development of the theory of
dynamic systems on time scales from a qualitative point of view. It
consists of four chapters. Chapter one develops systematically the
necessary calculus of functions on time scales. In chapter two, we
introduce dynamic systems on time scales and prove the basic
properties of solutions of such dynamic systems. The theory of
Lyapunov stability is discussed in chapter three in an appropriate
setup. Chapter four is devoted to describing several different
areas of investigations of dynamic systems on time scales which
will provide an exciting prospect and impetus for further advances
in this important area which is very new. Some important features
of the monograph are as follows: It is the first book that is
dedicated to a systematic development of the theory of dynamic
systems on time scales which is of recent origin. It demonstrates
the interplay of the two different theories, namely, the theory of
continuous and discrete dynamic systems, when imbedded in one
unified framework. It provides an impetus to investigate in the
setup of time scales other important problems which might offer a
better understanding of the intricacies of a unified
study.GBP/LISTGBP Audience: The readership of this book consists of
applied mathematicians, engineering scientists, research workers in
dynamic systems, chaotic theory and neural nets.
