  • Chaos Detection and Predictability

    Edited by Charalampos (Haris) Skokos, Georg A. Gottwald, Jacques Laskar ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Distinguishing chaoticity from regularity in deterministic dynamical systems and specifying the subspace of the phase space in which instabilities are expected to occur is of utmost importance in as disparate areas as astronomy, particle physics and climate dynamics.To address these issues there exists a plethora of methods for chaos detection and predictability. The most commonly employed ... Read more

  • Book of Extremes

    Why the 21st Century Isn’t Like the 20th Century

    by Ted G. Lewis ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    What makes the 21st century different from the 20th century? This century is the century of extremes -- political, economic, social, and global black-swan events happening with increasing frequency and severity. Book of Extremes is a tour of the current reality as seen through the lens of complexity theory – the only theory capable of explaining why the Arab Spring happened and why it will happen ...

  • Predictability of Chaotic Dynamics

    A Finite-time Lyapunov Exponents Approach

    by Juan C. Vallejo, Miguel A. F. Sanjuan ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is primarily concerned with the computational aspects of predictability of dynamical systems – in particular those where observation, modeling and computation are strongly interdependent. Unlike with physical systems under control in laboratories, for instance in celestial mechanics, one is confronted with the observation and modeling of systems without the possibility of altering the ...

  • Orbital Dynamics in the Gravitational Field of Small Bodies

    by Yang Yu ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods. It introduces the methods of qualitative theory in nonlinear dynamics to the study of local/global behaviors around SSSBs. Detailed mechanical models are employed throughout this dissertation, ...

  • The Lidov-Kozai Effect - Applications in Exoplanet Research and Dynamical Astronomy

    by Ivan I. Shevchenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book deals with an effect in celestial mechanics that has become quite important in exoplanet research. The Lidov-Kozai effect reveals itself in coherent periodic variations (which can be very large) of the inclination and eccentricity of an orbiting body in the presence of an inclined perturber. The effect is known to be important in the motion of many asteroids and planetary satellites. ... Read more

  • Stratonauts

    Pioneers Venturing into the Stratosphere

    by Manfred "Dutch" von Ehrenfired ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Just what does it take to be a stratonaut, soaring to higher and higher altitudes of Earth's atmosphere? Brave men and women have reached extreme heights in balloons, aircraft and rocket ships over the past two centuries, from the first untethered balloon flight to the first flights in the newly defined stratosphere, through to the present flights that continue to set new records. This book ... Read more

  • Trajectory Anomalies in Interplanetary Spacecraft

    A Method for Determining Accelerations Due to Thermal Emissions and New Mission Proposals

    by Frederico Francisco ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents fundamental work that explains two mysteries concerning the trajectory of interplanetary spacecraft. For the first problem, the so-called Pioneer anomaly, a wholly new and innovative method was developed for computing all contributions to the acceleration due to onboard thermal sources. Through a careful analysis of all parts of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11, the ... Read more

  • Turbulence and Self-Organization

    Modeling Astrophysical Objects

    by Mikhail Ya Marov, Aleksander V. Kolesnichenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book deals with the development of continual models of turbulent natural media. Such models serve as a ground for the statement and numerical evaluation of the key problems of the structure and evolution of the numerous astrophysical and geophysical objects. The processes of ordering (self-organization) in an originally chaotic turbulent medium are addressed and treated in detail with the use ... Read more

  • Regularity and Complexity in Dynamical Systems

    by Albert C. J. Luo ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Regularity and Complexity in Dynamical Systems describes periodic and chaotic behaviors in dynamical systems, including continuous, discrete, impulsive, discontinuous, and switching systems. In traditional analysis, the periodic and chaotic behaviors in continuous, nonlinear dynamical systems were extensively discussed even if unsolved. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of ... Read more

  • Complex Structure and Dynamics of the Heart

    by Philip Bittihn ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This award-winning thesis investigates the mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmia development and termination from an entirely new perspective. By viewing the heart as a complex system, the author uses theoretical tools from nonlinear dynamics combined with numerical simulations and experiments to achieve insights into the relationship between its structure and dynamics, thereby paving the way ...

  • Recurrence Quantification Analysis

    Theory and Best Practices

    Edited by Charles L. Webber, Jr., Norbert Marwan ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The analysis of recurrences in dynamical systems by using recurrence plots and their quantification is still an emerging field. Over the past decades recurrence plots have proven to be valuable data visualization and analysis tools in the theoretical study of complex, time-varying dynamical systems as well as in various applications in biology, neuroscience, kinesiology, psychology, physiology, ...
