Abstract

It has been proven that to any electric circuit there exists a corresponding two pairs of conjugate linear vector spaces. One of these pairs is generated by a homological group, while the other is cohomological. A new method of analysis of mechanical and electric circuits is proposed, which consists of representing the main variables and matrices of oscillatory circuits in terms of many-dimensional tensor objects. A solution is obtained for the problem of defining eigenvalues of pure-loop and pure-node circuits. A new method is developed for defining a full range of eigenvalues of linear oscil

Abstract

La mécanique des fluides est abordée sous deux points de vue, physique et mathématique. Les bases de la mécanique des milieux continus sont d'abord présentées en détail en précisant les hypothèses et approximations qui conduisent aux lois de conservation. Les outils d'analyse des équations générales, étude en ordres de grandeurs, analyse adimensionnelle et similitude, permettent ensuite d'introduire les approximations de fluide parfait d'Euler, de fluides visqueux en régime de Stokes et de la couche limite de Prandtl. Les notions de stabilité des écoulements, de turbulence et les écoulements compressibles sont ensuite présentés. Les écoulements multiphysiques ouvrent des perspectives pour la recherche et le traitement d'applications complexes. In this book, fluid mechanics is addressed from both physical and mathematical perspectives. As a first step, the basic theory of continuum mechanics is detailed, pointing out the different assumptions and approximations that lead to conservation laws. As a second step, scaling studies, dimensional analysis and similitude of the general equations help to introduce the inviscid Euler fluid approximation, the Stokes approximation of viscous flow and Prandtl’s boundary layer approximation. Lastly, the concepts of stability, turbulence and compressible flows are presented. Multiphysics approach of flows will provide readers with deeper insights into basic and applied research on complex processing.

Abstract

The goal of this book is to expose the reader to the indispensable role that mathematics---often very abstract---plays in modern physics. Starting with the notion of vector spaces, the first half of the book develops topics as diverse as algebras, classical orthogonal polynomials, Fourier analysis, complex analysis, differential and integral equations, operator theory, and multi-dimensional Green's functions. The second half of the book introduces groups, manifolds, Lie groups and their representations, Clifford algebras and their representations, and fiber bundles and their applications to differential geometry and gauge theories. This second edition is a substantial revision of the first one with a complete rewriting of many chapters and the addition of new ones, including chapters on algebras, representation of Clifford algebras and spinors, fiber bundles, and gauge theories. The spirit of the first edition, namely the balance between rigor and physical application, has been maintained, as is the abundance of historical notes and worked out examples that demonstrate the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in modern physics. Einstein has famously said, "The most incomprehensible thing about nature is that it is comprehensible." What he had in mind was reiterated in another one of his famous quotes concerning the question of how " ... mathematics, being after all a product of human thought, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality." It is a question that comes to everyone's mind when encountering the highly abstract mathematics required for a deep understanding of modern physics. It is the experience that Eugene Wigner so profoundly described as "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences.".

Abstract

This contributed volume focuses on aspects of dynamic game theory including differential games, evolutionary games, and stochastic games. It covers theoretical developments, algorithmic methods, and applications to fields as varied as mathematical biology, environmental management, economics, engineering, guidance and control, and social interaction. It will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience of researchers, practitioners, and advanced graduate students. Advances in Dynamic Games presents state-of-the-art research that serves as a testament to the vitality and growth of the field of dynamic games and their applications. Its contributions, written by experts in their respective disciplines, are outgrowths of presentations originally given at the 15th International Symposium of Dynamic Games and Applications held July 19–22, 2012, in Byšice, Czech Republic.

Abstract

One could make the claim that all branches of physics are basically generalizations of classical mechanics. It is also often the first course which is taught to physics students. The approach of this book is to construct an intermediate discipline between general courses of physics and analytical mechanics, using more sophisticated mathematical tools. The aim of this book is to prepare a self-consistent and compact text that is very useful for teachers as well as for independent study.

Abstract

La Matematica Numerica una disciplina che si sviluppa in simbiosi con il calcolatore; essa fa uso di linguaggi di programmazione che consentono di tradurre gli algoritmi in programmi eseguibili. Questo testo si propone di aiutare lo studente nella transizione fra i concetti teorici e metodologici della Matematica Numerica e la loro implementazione al computer. A questo scopo vengono proposti Esercizi teorici da risolvere con carta e penna atti a far comprendere meglio al lettore la teoria, e Laboratori, in cui per un dato problema si debbono scegliere gli algoritmi pi adatti, realizzare un programma in linguaggio MATLAB per la loro implementazione, rappresentare graficamente in maniera idonea i risultati ottenuti dal calcolatore, infine interpretarli ed analizzarli alla luce della teoria. Per ogni Esercizio ed ogni Laboratorio si presenta una risoluzione dettagliata,completata da una ampia discussione critica. Per una migliore fruizione degli argomenti sviluppati, il testo si apre con una introduzione allambiente di programmazione MATLAB. Il testo contiene infine alcuni Progetti. Il primo concerne gli algoritmi di page ranking dei moderni motori di ricerca, il secondo la determinazione del campo elettrico fra due conduttori e il calcolo della capacit di un condensatore, il terzo lo studio di sistemi dinamici oscillanti di grande rilevanza in applicazioni elettroniche e biologiche. Il testo rivolto a studenti dei corsi di laurea in Matematica, Ingegneria, Fisica e Informatica. La seconda edizione stata arricchita con numerosi nuovi Esercizi e Progetti.

Abstract

"Artificial Boundary Method" systematically introduces the artificial boundary method for the numerical solutions of partial differential equations in unbounded domains. Detailed discussions treat different types of problems, including Laplace, Helmholtz, heat, Schrodinger, and Navier and Stokes equations. Both numerical methods and error analysis are discussed. The book is intended for researchers working in the fields of computational mathematics and mechanical engineering. Prof. Houde Han works at Tsinghua University, China; Prof. Xiaonan Wu works at Hong Kong Baptist University, China.

Abstract

This book presents a numerical scheme for the solution of field problems governed by partial differential equations: the cell method. The technique lends itself naturally to the solution of multiphysics problems with several interacting phenomena. The Cell Method, based on a space-time tessellation, is intimately related to the work of Tonti and to his ideas of classification diagrams or, as they are nowadays called, Tonti diagrams: a graphical representation of the problem's equations made possible by a suitable selection of a space-time framework relating physical variables to each other. The main features of the cell method are presented and links with many other discrete numerical methods (finite integration techniques, finite difference time domain, finite volumes, mimetic finite differences, etc.) are discussed. After outlining the theoretical basis of the method, a set of physical problems which have been solved with the cell method is described. These single and multiphysics problems stem from the authors' research experience in the fields of electromagnetism, elasticity, thermo-elasticity and others. Finally, the implementation of the numerical technique is described in all its main components: space-time discretization, problem formulation, solution and representation of the resulting physical fields.  .
