Book Review: Elements of applied bifurcation theory

Elements of Finite Model Theory [book review]

Book Review: 'Health Humanities and Applied Literature'

Health Humanities written by Paul Crawford, Brian Brown, Charley Baker, Victoria Tischler, and Brian Adams was first published in 2015 by Palgrave Macmillan, UK. The book is a result of many years of experience of work in the field and comes at a right time after the successful organisation of some international conferences on health humanities by Professor Paul Crawford, et al. in the precedin...

Book Review: Contemporary Sensorimotor Theory

Consciousness, with its irreducible subjective character, was almost exclusively a philosophical topic until relatively recently. Today, however, the problem of explaining the felt quality of experience has also become relevant to science and engineering, including robotics andAI: “What would we have to build into a robot so that it really felt the touch of a finger, the redness of red, or the ...

Bifurcation Theory Applied to the Analysis of Power Systems

In this paper, several nonlinear phenomena found in the study of power system networks are described in the context of bifurcation theory. Toward this end, a widely studied 3-bus power system model is considered. The mechanisms leading to static and dynamic bifurcations of equilibria as well as a cascade of period doubling bifurcations of periodic orbits are investigated. It is shown that the c...

Elements of Differentiable Dynamics and Bifurcation Theory (David Ruelle)

This book is a thin gem having two main parts: Part mDifferential Dynamical Systems and Part 2--Bifurcations. The approach to these subjects is a thorough grounding in dynamics on manifolds in finite-dimensional and Banach spaces, invariant sets and attractors, especially stable, unstable, and center manifolds for maps and semiflows; however, there is no mention of inertial manifolds, which are...
