This book touches upon various aspects of a very interesting, and growing in popularity category of models of dynamical systems. These are the so-called fractional-order systems. Such models are not only relevant for many fields of science and technology, but may also find numerous applications in other disciplines applying the mathematical modelling tools. Thus, the book is intended for a very wide audience of professionals who want to expand their knowledge of systems modelling and its applications.The book includes the selections of papers presented at the International Conference on Fractional Calculus and its Applications organized by the Warsaw University of Technology and was held online on 6–8 September 2021.The International Conference on Fractional Calculus and its Applications (ICFDA) has an almost twenty years history. It started in Bordeaux (France) in 2004, followed by Porto (Portugal) 2006, Istanbul (Turkey) 2008, Badajoz (Spain) 2010, Nanjing (China) 2012, Catania (Italy) 2014, Novi Sad (Serbia) 2016, Amman (Jordan) 2018. Next ICFDA was planned in 2020 in Warsaw (Poland), but COVID-19 pandemic shifted it to 6–8 September 2021. Hence, the organizers were forced to change the form of the conference to the online one.In the volume twenty eight high-quality research papers presented during the ICFDA 2021 eleven Regular Sessions with an additional online Discussion Session are presented. The presented papers are scientifically inspiring, leading to new fruitful ideas. They cover a very broad range of many disciplines. Nowadays, and especially in such a subject as fractional calculus, it is very difficult to assign papers to specific scientific areas. So, many of the papers included have an interdisciplinary character.

The book contains two contributions about the work of Emmanuele DiBenedetto and a selection of original papers.

In the spring of 1976, George Andrews of Pennsylvania State University visited the library at Trinity College, Cambridge, to examine the papers of the late G.N. Watson. Among these papers, Andrews discovered a sheaf of 138 pages in the handwriting of Srinivasa Ramanujan. This manuscript was soon designated,'Ramanujan's lost notebook.'Its discovery has frequently been deemed the mathematical equivalent of finding Beethoven's tenth symphony.This fifth and final installment of the authors'examination of Ramanujan's lost notebook focuses on the mock theta functions first introduced in Ramanujan's famous Last Letter. This volume proves all of the assertions about mock theta functions in the lost notebook and in the Last Letter, particularly the celebrated mock theta conjectures. Other topics feature Ramanujan's many elegant Euler products and the remaining entries on continued fractions not discussed in the preceding volumes. Review from the second volume:'Fans of Ramanujan's mathematics are sure to be delighted by this book. While some of the content is taken directly from published papers, most chapters contain new material and some previously published proofs have been improved. Many entries are just begging for further study and will undoubtedly be inspiring research for decades to come. The next installment in this series is eagerly awaited.'- MathSciNetReview from the first volume:'Andrews and Berndt are to be congratulated on the job they are doing. This is the first step...on the way to an understanding of the work of the genius Ramanujan. It should act as an inspiration to future generations of mathematicians to tackle a job that will never be complete.'- Gazette of the Australian Mathematical Society

The book is a collection of original papers, research and surveys, dedicated to the memory of the Romanian mathematician Solomon Marcus (1925-2016). Marcus published many papers and books in mathematical analysis, theoretical computer science, mathematical linguistics, poetics, theory of literature, semiotics, and several other fields less strongly connected to mathematics, like cultural anthropology, biology, history and philosophy of science, education. He exemplified an unimaginable richness of ideas.This volume intends to emphasize the mathematical fields in which Solomon Marcus worked, and demonstrate — as he also did — the interconnection between them. The authors who contribute to this volume are well-known experts in their fields. Most of them knew Solomon Marcus well, some even owed him for his decisive impulses for their careers and general development. With articles in so diverse areas, the volume will attract readers who would like to diversify their own knowledge or find unexpected connections with other topics.

The contributions in this volume aim to deepen understanding of some of the current research problems and theories in modern topics such as calculus of variations, optimization theory, complex analysis, real analysis, differential equations, and geometry. Applications to these areas of mathematics are presented within the broad spectrum of research in Engineering Science with particular emphasis on equilibrium problems, complexity in numerical optimization, dynamical systems, non-smooth optimization, complex network analysis, statistical models and data mining, and energy systems. Additional emphasis is given to interdisciplinary research, although subjects are treated in a unified and self-contained manner. The presentation of methods, theory and applications makes this tribute an invaluable reference for teachers, researchers, and other professionals interested in pure and applied research, philosophy of mathematics, and mathematics education. Some review papers published in this volume will be particularly useful for a broader audience of readers as well as for graduate students who search for the latest information. ​ Constantin Carathéodory's wide-ranging influence in the international mathematical community was seen during the first Fields Medals awards at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Oslo, 1936. Two medals were awarded, one to Lars V. Ahlfors and one to Jesse Douglass. It was Carathéodory who presented both their works during the opening of the International Congress. This volume contains significant papers in Science and Engineering dedicated to the memory of Constantin Carathéodory and the spirit of his mathematical influence.

This book organizes and explains, in a systematic and pedagogically effective manner, recent advances in path integral solution techniques with applications in stochastic engineering dynamics. It fills a gap in the literature by introducing to the engineering mechanics community, for the first time in the form of a book, the Wiener path integral as a potent uncertainty quantification tool. Since the path integral flourished within the realm of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics applications, most books on the topic have focused on the complex-valued Feynman integral with only few exceptions, which present path integrals from a stochastic processes perspective. Remarkably, there are only few papers, and no books, dedicated to path integral as a solution technique in stochastic engineering dynamics. Summarizing recently developed techniques, this volume is ideal for engineering analysts interested in further establishing path integrals as an alternative potent conceptual and computational vehicle in stochastic engineering dynamics.

This textbook originates from a course taught by the late Ken Ireland in 1972. Designed to explore the theoretical underpinnings of undergraduate mathematics, the course focused on interrelationships and hands-on experience. Readers of this textbook will be taken on a modern rendering of Ireland's path of discovery, consisting of excursions into number theory, algebra, and analysis. Replete with surprising connections, deep insights, and brilliantly curated invitations to try problems at just the right moment, this journey weaves a rich body of knowledge that is ideal for those going on to study or teach mathematics. A pool of 200 ‘Dialing In'problems opens the book, providing fuel for active enquiry throughout a course. The following chapters develop theory to illuminate the observations and roadblocks encountered in the problems, situating them in the broader mathematical landscape. Topics cover polygons and modular arithmetic; the fundamental theorems of arithmetic and algebra; irrational, algebraic and transcendental numbers; and Fourier series and Gauss sums. A lively accompaniment of examples, exercises, historical anecdotes, and asides adds motivation and context to the theory. Return trips to the Dialing In problems are encouraged, offering opportunities to put theory into practice and make lasting connections along the way. Excursions in Number Theory, Algebra, and Analysis invites readers on a journey as important as the destination. Suitable for a senior capstone, professional development for practicing teachers, or independent reading, this textbook offers insights and skills valuable to math majors and high school teachers alike. A background in real analysis and abstract algebra is assumed, though the most important prerequisite is a willingness to put pen to paper and do some mathematics.

The third edition of this widely popular textbook is authored by a master teacher. This book provides a mathematically rigorous introduction to analysis of real­valued functions of one variable. This intuitive, student-friendly text is written in a manner that will help to ease the transition from primarily computational to primarily theoretical mathematics. The material is presented clearly and as intuitive as possible while maintaining mathematical integrity. The author supplies the ideas of the proof and leaves the write-up as an exercise. The text also states why a step in a proof is the reasonable thing to do and which techniques are recurrent.Examples, while no substitute for a proof, are a valuable tool in helping to develop intuition and are an important feature of this text. Examples can also provide a vivid reminder that what one hopes might be true is not always true. Features of the Third Edition: Begins with a discussion of the axioms of the real number system. The limit is introduced via sequences. Examples motivate what is to come, highlight the need for hypothesis in a theorem, and make abstract ideas more concrete. A new section on the Cantor set and the Cantor function. Additional material on connectedness. Exercises range in difficulty from the routine'getting your feet wet'types of problems to the moderately challenging problems. Topology of the real number system is developed to obtain the familiar properties of continuous functions. Some exercises are devoted to the construction of counterexamples. The author presents the material to make the subject understandable and perhaps exciting to those who are beginning their study of abstract mathematics.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction The Real Number System Sequences of Real Numbers Topology of the Real Numbers Continuous Functions Differentiation Integration Series of Real Numbers Sequences and Series of Functions Fourier Series BibliographyHints and Answers to Selected ExercisesIndexBiographyJames R.

The volume presents recent results in fundamental problems for solving partial integro-differential equations in different settings such as Euclidean spaces, manifolds, Banach spaces, and many others. Discussions about the global and local solvability using micro-local and harmonic analysis methods, studies of new techniques and approaches arising from a physical perspective or the mathematical point of view have also been included. Several connected branches arising in this regard are shown. 2. Geometric analysis. The volume presents studies of modern techniques for elliptic and subelliptic PDEs that in recent times have been used to establish new results in differential geometry and differential topology. These topics involve the intrinsic research in microlocal analysis, geometric analysis, and harmonic analysis abroad. Different problems having relevant geometric information for different applications in mathematical physics and other problems of classification have been considered.

This volume collects the proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Developments in Mathematics (ICRDM), held at Canadian University Dubai, UAE, in August 2022. It is the first of two volumes, this first volume focuses on recent advances in algebra and analysis, and the second volume covers more applied topics. Each chapter identifies existing challenges in these theoretical areas, and highlights the importance of establishing new theorems and algorithms to address them. Recent Developments in Algebra and Analysis will appeal to a range of postgraduate students and researchers who are interested in exploring more on these areas and play an integral role in modern science.

This book provides an introduction to real analysis, a fundamental topic that is an essential requirement in the study of mathematics. It deals with the concepts of infinity and limits, which are the cornerstones in the development of calculus. Beginning with some basic proof techniques and the notions of sets and functions, the book rigorously constructs the real numbers and their related structures from the natural numbers. During this construction, the readers will encounter the notions of infinity, limits, real sequences, and real series. These concepts are then formalised and focused on as stand-alone objects. Finally, they are expanded to limits, sequences, and series of more general objects such as real-valued functions. Once the fundamental tools of the trade have been established, the readers are led into the classical study of calculus (continuity, differentiation, and Riemann integration) from first principles. The book concludes with an introduction to the studyof measures and how one can construct the Lebesgue integral as an extension of the Riemann integral. This textbook is aimed at undergraduate students in mathematics. As its title suggests, it covers a large amount of material, which can be taught in around three semesters. Many remarks and examples help to motivate and provide intuition for the abstract theoretical concepts discussed. In addition, more than 600 exercises are included in the book, some of which will lead the readers to more advanced topics and could be suitable for independent study projects. Since the book is fully self-contained, it is also ideal for self-study.

The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to different topics of the theory of elliptic partial differential equations by avoiding technicalities and complicated refinements. Apart from the basic theory of equations in divergence form, it includes subjects as singular perturbations, homogenization, computations, asymptotic behavior of problems in cylinders, elliptic systems, nonlinear problems, regularity theory, Navier-Stokes systems, p-Laplace type operators, large solutions, and mountain pass techniques. Just a minimum on Sobolev spaces has been introduced and work on integration on the boundary has been carefully avoided to keep the reader attention focused on the beauty and variety of these issues. The chapters are relatively independent of each other and can be read or taught separately. Numerous results presented here are original, and have not been published elsewhere. The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers specializing in partial differential equations.

This book is devoted to the spectral theory of localized resonances including surface plasmon/polariton resonances, atypical resonances, anomalous localized resonances and interior transmission resonances. Those resonance phenomena arise in different physical contexts, but share similar features. They form the fundamental basis for many cutting-edge technologies and applications including invisibility cloaking and super-resolution imaging. The book presents a systematic and comprehensive treatment on these resonance phenomena and the associated applications in a unified manner from a mathematical and spectral perspective, covering acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic wave scattering.The book can serve as a handy reference book for researchers in this field and it can also serve as a textbook or an inspiring source for postgraduate students who are interested in entering this field.

The second edition of this study guide is written and designed for students taking a precalculus course. It includes new and expanded exercises with final answers that will help students to review and sharpen their knowledge of the subject and enhance their performance in the classroom. The author uses methods typically found in instructor-recommended textbooks, offering detailed solutions, multiple methods for solving problems, and clear explanations of concepts. This hands-on guide will improve students'problem-solving skills and foster a solid understanding of calculus, which will benefit them in all of their calculus-based courses.

The aim of this volume is to present some new developments and ideas in partial differential equations and mathematical analysis, including spectral analysis and boundary value problems for PDE, harmonic analysis, inequalities, integral equations, and applications. This book is a collection of short summaries of reports from lectures delivered at Tbilisi Analysis & PDE seminars and workshops. In particular, it contains some applications and several open questions aimed at inspiring further research. The volume contains 21 research articles.

This work is closely tied to the renowned mathematics textbook series known as UNITEXT, tailored for university students pursuing bachelor's or master's degrees. What sets this particular book apart in the Springer collection is its unique origin: it has been crafted through a meticulous process involving interviews handled with and by world-class mathematicians. The content featured in this book revolve around a highly relevant and engaging topic: Optimal Transport. These conversations involve not only authors from the UNITEXT series, but also members of the series'Editorial Board. Additionally, they feature prominent figures in the field, including a Field Medalist. This work provides readers with a snapshot of remarkable vitality and freshness, guaranteed to captivate and engage anyone with an interest in mathematics. It's important to note that these interviews were initially shared as podcasts and originally broadcasted as online events on the Cassyni platform. Subsequently, advanced AI tools were employed under human supervision to transcribe the audios and edit them for better readability. A human copy-editor was involved during the whole process, and the authors revised the final copy-edited texts before publication. The content in each format – the interviews, the PODCASTS and the book – is self-contained and not a mere adaptation from one medium to another. Instead, it represents an independent exploration of the subject matter.

This book, developed during 20 years of the author teaching differential equations courses at his home university, is designed to serve as a text for a graduate level course focused on the central theory of the subject with attention paid to applications and connections to other advanced topics in mathematics. Core theory includes local existence and uniqueness, the phase plane, Poincaré-Bendixson theory, Lyapunov and linearized stability, linear systems, Floquet theory, the Grobman–Hartman theorem, persistence of rest points and periodic orbits, the stable and center manifold theorems, and bifurcation theory. This edition includes expanded treatment of deterministic chaos, perturbation theory for periodic solutions, boundary value problems, optimization, and a wide range of their applications. In addition, it contains a formulation and new proof of a theorem on instability of rest points in the presence of an eigenvalue with positive real part, and new proofs of differential inequalities and Lyapunov's center theorem. New sections present discussions of global bifurcation, the Crandall–Rabinowitz theorem, and Alekseev's formula. Of particular note is a new chapter on basic control theory, a discussion of optimal control, and a proof of a useful special case of the maximum principle. A key feature of earlier editions, a wide selection of original exercises, is respected in this edition with the inclusion of a wealth of new exercises. Reviews of the first edition:“As an applied mathematics text on linear and nonlinear equations, the book by Chicone is written with stimulating enthusiasm. It will certainly appeal to many students and researchers.”—F. Verhulst, SIAM Review “The author writes lucidly and in an engaging conversational style. His book is wide-ranging in its subject matter, thorough in its presentation, and written at a generally high level of generality, detail, and rigor.”—D. S. Shafer, Mathematical Reviews
