This work includes: novel ideas and concepts; Hilbert's 16th problem; normal forms in polynomial hamiltonian systems; grazing flow in non-smooth dynamical systems; stochastic and fuzzy nonlinear dynamical systems; fuzzy bifurcation; and parametrical, nonlinear systems.

Algebra consists of many different ideas, concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. This handbook provides professional mathematicians working in an area other than their own with information on the topic in question if and when it is needed.

Covers the operations that could be efficiently used to improve the performance of a variety of industrial production cycles in applications ranging from biotechnology to agrofood. This book focuses on the basic "principles of work", and is applicable to process intensification and sustainable growth strategies.

Provides information on the qualitative theory of elliptic boundary value problems for linear and quasilinear second order equations in non-smooth domains. This book presents such results as: sharp estimates for strong and weak solutions, solvability of boundary value problems, regularity assertions for solutions near singular points, and more.

Provides the status of the theory of evolutionary partial differential equations. This work aims to review articles written by leading experts. It focuses on the abstract theory of evolutionary equations, and considers problems relating to specific applications.

Contains chapters covering a variety of problems in ordinary differential equations. This work reflects both, pure mathematical research and real word applications. It is written by leading researchers in the area.

Bringing together experimental and theoretical information, this work provides information on oxide-based materials with applications in catalysis, pollution control and nanoengineering.

Provides students and law enforcement officers with the fundamentals of the criminal investigation process, from arrival on the scene to the trial procedures. This book merges two areas that are crucial to the successful completion of an investigation: the law, both criminal and procedural, and criminal investigative techniques.

Intended for professionals already involved in surface mount design and assembly, this work contains over 1000 terms and definitions used in the surface mount technology (SMT) field. Each term is followed by a paragraph or two explaining the meaning and how it fits into the surface mount industry. It also contains an acronyms section.

Wi-Fi telephony is the most cost effective way of carrying voice data wirelessly. This book discusses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Quality of Service (QoS), and interoperability in connection with Wi-Fi telephony. It also presents security challenges and solves along these malleable wireless boundaries.

Summarizes the discoveries involving the study of synchronization in coupled chaotic systems. This book describes the complete synchronization phenomenon, both for low and for high dimensional situations, and illustrates possible applications in the field of communicating with chaos. It provides an overview on synchronization phenomena.

Provides ideas for the synthesis of phosphonates, phosphoramides and diesters of phosphonic acid (phosphorus-containing compounds). This book reviews structure, spectra and biological activity of H-phosphonates and their derivatives. It also examines the areas of application of phosphorus-containing compounds.

Covers the traditional methods for polynomial root-finding such as Newton's, as well as numerous variations on them as well as developments such as Vincent's method, simultaneous iterations, and matrix methods. This book contains a chapter on evaluation of polynomials, including parallel methods and errors.

Focuses on the explanation of international transactions in goods, services, and assets, and on the main domestic effects of those transactions. This book deals with the 'real side' of international economics. It explains trade and factor flows, with their main effects on goods and factor prices.

Zeolite scientists, whether they are working in characterization or application development, use the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types as a reference. It describes the features of various confirmed zeolite framework structures, and gives references to the relevant primary structural literature. This work approves and describes these framwork types.
