51933Nonlinear dynamics : the Richard Rand 50th anniversary volume
Rapid developments in system dynamics and control, areas closely related to many other topics in applied mathematics, call for a comprehensive presentation of current topics. This text, the second of two volumes, contains ten thematically organized research or pedagogical articles addressing key topics in applied dynamics. The material should be of interest to a general scientific and engineering readership, and is also mathematically precise enough to be a useful reference for research specialists in mechanics and control nonlinear dynamics, and in applied mathematics and physics.
51934Nonlinear dynamics in particle accelerators
This book is an introductory course to accelerator physics at the level of graduate students. It has been written for a large audience which includes users of accelerator facilities, accelerator physicists and engineers, and undergraduates aiming to learn the basic principles of construction, operation and applications of accelerators. The new concepts of dynamical systems developed in the last 20 years give the theoretical setting to analyze the stability of particle beams in acclerator. In this book a common language to both accelerator physics and dynamical systems is integrated and developed, aiming to eliminate the difficulties faced by accelerator physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians when they try to join efforts in the attempt to control the nonlinearities disturbing particle beams.

51937Nonlinear periodic waves and their modulations : an introductory course
This volume develops the techniques of the theory of nonlinear periodic waves at elementary level and in pedagogical detail. It provides an introduction to a Whitham's theory of modulation in a form suitable for applications. The exposition is based on an analysis of representative examples taken from fluid mechanics, nonlinear optics and plasma physics rather than on the formulation and study of a mathematical theory. Much attention is paid to physical motivations of the mathematical methods developed in the book. The main applications covered include the theory of collisionless shock waves in dispersive systems and the nonlinear theory of soliton formation in modulationally unstable systems. Exercises are provided to amplify the discussion of important topics such as singular perturbation theory, Riemann invariants, the finite gap integration method, and Whitham equations and their solutions.

51939Non-LTE radiative transfer in the atmosphere : series on atmospheric, ocean and planetary physics
This important book provides the first comprehensive and "global" description of non-LTE infrared emissions in the atmosphere of the Earth and other planets, starting with the theoretical foundations and progressing to the most important applications. Besides giving an introduction to this complex subject, it is a guide to the state-of-the-art in incorporating non-LTE processes into radiative transfer algorithms and computer models of the atmosphere. Numerous examples are presented of the application of these methods to (a) atmospheric remote sensing, (b) atmospheric energy budget (cooling and heating rate) calculations, and (c) atmospheres other than the Earth's.
