Bücher der Reihe World Scientific Series on Nonlinear Science Series A

For researchers in nonlinear science, this work includes coverage of linear systems, stability of solutions, periodic and almost periodic impulsive systems, integral sets of impulsive systems, optimal control in impulsive systems, and more.

This book presents an electronic engineer's perspective on chaos and complex behaviour, starting from basic mathematical notions which enable understanding of the observed phenomena and guide the reader through methodology and tools used in the laboratory and numerical experiments.

Memory is a universal function of organized matter. What is the mathematics of memory? How does memory affect the space-time behaviour of spatially extended systems? This book provides answers to these questions. It focuses on the study of spatially extended systems, such as cellular automata and other related discrete complex systems.

In 1971, Leon O Chua presented the formulation of a memristor, which was postulated as the fourth circuit element in electrical circuit theory - one that could join the existing core group of elements: capacitor, resistor and inductor. This book describes advanced research on significant issues in the field of memristors.

Contains numerous results in 1-dimensional cellular automata. This title states that only 82 local rules, out of 256, suffice to predict the time evolution of any of the remaining 174 local rules from an arbitrary initial bit-string configuration.

This unique volume presents an original approach to physical acoustics with additional emphasis on the most useful surface acoustic waves on solids.
