  1. Orbit Dynamics, Stability and Chaos in Planetary Systems

    Let us start with a problem of dynamical biology, which was posed about 800 years ago by Fibonacci1
    Rudolf Dvorak, Florian Freistetter in Chaos and Stability in Planetary Systems
    Chapter

  2. 4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control

    In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve...

    Chapter

  3. Basics of Plasma Physics

    Basic properties of plasmas are introduced, which are valid for an extremely wide range of plasma parameters. Plasmas are classified by different...
    U. Schumacher in Plasma Physics
    Chapter

  4. Strongly Coupled Plasmas

    We give a brief introduction into the basic many-particle effectes in strongly coupled plasmas and their theoretical treatment. Exemplary results are...

  5. Aerothermodynamics, Nonlinear Acoustics and the Meteorological Equations

    The study of low-Mach-number flows occurs in the general context of asymptotic modelling of fluid flows, and in a recent book (Zeytounian 2004, Chap....

  6. Planet Formation

    Motivating the study of planet formation is not difficult for any curious audience. One of the fundamental human questions is that of origins: “where...

  10. 6 Stochastic Passivity

    Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive...
