Two-dimensional Single-Variable Cubic Nonlinear Systems, Vol II: A Crossing-variable Cubic Vector Field: 2 - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Albert C. J. Luo is a Distinguished Research Professor at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, in Edwardsville, IL, USA. Dr. Luo worked on Nonlinear Mechanics, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Applied Mathematics. He proposed and systematically developed: (i) the discontinuous dynamical system theory, (ii) analytical solutions for periodic motions in nonlinear dynamical systems, (iii) the theory of dynamical system synchronization, (iv) the accurate theory of nonlinear deformable-body dynamics, (v) new theories for stability and bifurcations of nonlinear dynamical systems. He discovered new phenomena in nonlinear dynamical systems. His methods and theories can help understanding and solving the Hilbert sixteenth problems and other nonlinear physics problems. The main results were scattered in 45 monographs in Springer, Wiley, Elsevier, and World Scientific, over 200 prestigious journal papers, and over 150 peer-reviewed conference papers.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book, the second of 15 related monographs, presents systematically a theory of cubic nonlinear systems with single-variable vector fields. The cubic vector fields are of crossing-variables, which are discussed as the second part. The 1-dimensional flow singularity and bifurcations are discussed in such cubic systems. The appearing and switching bifurcations of the 1-dimensional flows in such 2-diemnsional cubic systems are for the first time to be presented. Third-order parabola flows are presented, and the upper and lower saddle flows are also presented. The infinite-equilibriums are the switching bifurcations for the first and third-order parabola flows, and inflection flows with the first source and sink flows, and the upper and lower-saddle flows.  The appearing bifurcations in such cubic systems includes inflection flows and third-order parabola flows, upper and lower-saddle flows.
