Nonlinear Systems

by P.G. Drazin

Book Overview

A coherent treatment of nonlinear systems covering chaos, fractals, and bifurcation, as well as equilibrium, stability, and nonlinear oscillations. The systems treated are mostly of difference and differential equations. The author introduces the mathematical properties of nonlinear systems as an integrated theory, rather than simply presenting isolated fashionable topics. The topics are discussed in as concrete a way as possible, worked examples...

Examples and problems work well with MathCad

Book offers an over view of the problem, without becoming bogged in "favorite" topics. Integration of soln. with Mathcad and actual simulations are relatively easy. Description of z^2 plane fractals as an exception (also the start of fractals in more complex systems)is worth price of book alone. Drazin's "outline" for the analysis of non-linear systems is a pure bonus.
