Analysis and Simulation in Chaotic Systems, Second Edition is a text designed to be used at the graduate level in applied mathematics for students from mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry and biology. Computations and computer simulations are used throughout this text to illustrate phenomena discussed and to supply readers with probes to use on new problems. For this new edition, the chapters have been restructured with special emphasis on introductory materials in the first two chapters as distinct from presentation materials in chapters 3 through 8. In addition, much new material has been added.

Rese�a del editor

Beginning with realistic mathematical or verbal models of physical or biological phenomena, the author derives tractable models for further mathematical analysis or computer simulations. For the most part, derivations are based on perturbation methods, and the majority of the text is devoted to careful derivations of implicit function theorems, the method of averaging, and quasi-static state approximation methods. The duality between stability and perturbation is developed and used, relying heavily on the concept of stability under persistent disturbances. Relevant topics about linear systems, nonlinear oscillations, and stability methods for difference, differential-delay, integro-differential and ordinary and partial differential equations are developed throughout the book. For the second edition, the author has restructured the chapters, placing special emphasis on introductory materials in Chapters 1 and 2 as distinct from presentation materials in Chapters 3 through 8. In addition, more material on bifurcations from the point of view of canonical models, sections on randomly perturbed systems, and several new computer simulations have been added.
