Applied mathematics is a central connecting link between scientific observations and their theoretical interpretation. Nonlinear analysis has surely contributed major developments which nowadays shape the face of applied mathematics. At the beginning of the millennium, all sciences are expanding at increased speed. Technological, ecological, economical and medical problem solving is a central issue of every modern society. Mathematical models help to expose fundamental structures hidden in these problems and serve as unifying tools to deepen our understanding. What are the new challenges applied mathematics has to face with the increased diversity of scientific problems? In which direction should the classical tools of nonlinear analysis be developed further? How do new available technologies influence the development of the field? How can problems be solved which have been beyond reach in former times? It is the aim of this book to explore new developments in the field by way of discussion of selected topics from nonlinear analysis.

This third of three volumes from the inaugural NODYCON, held at the University of Rome, in February of 2019, presents papers devoted to New Trends in Nonlinear Dynamics. The collection features both well-established streams of research as well as novel areas and emerging fields of investigation. Topics in Volume III include NEMS/MEMS and nanomaterials: multi-sensors, actuators exploiting nonlinear working principles; adaptive, multifunctional, and meta material structures; nanocomposite structures (e.g., carbon nanotube/polymer composites, composites with functionalized nanoparticles); 0D,1D,2D,3D nanostructures; biomechanics applications, DNA modeling, walking dynamics, heart dynamics, neurodynamics, capsule robots, jellyfish-like robots, nanorobots; cryptography based on chaotic maps; ecosystem dynamics, social media dynamics (user behavior dynamics in multi-messages social hotspots, prediction models), financial engineering, complexity in engineering; and network dynamics (multi-agent systems, leader-follower dynamics, swarm dynamics, biological networks dynamics).

Non-linear analysis is a broad, interdisciplinary field characterised by a mixture of analysis, topology, and applications. Its concepts and techniques provide the tools for developing more realistic and accurate models for a variety of phenomena encountered in fields ranging from engineering and chemistry to economics and biology. This book presents the latest research from around the globe.

This book, published in honor of Professor Laurent Praly on the occasion of his 65th birthday, explores the responses of some leading international authorities to new challenges in nonlinear and adaptive control. The mitigation of the effects of uncertainty and nonlinearity – ubiquitous features of real-world engineering and natural systems – on closed-loop stability and robustness being of crucial importance, the contributions report the latest research into overcoming these difficulties in: autonomous systems; reset control systems; multiple-input–multiple-output nonlinear systems; input delays; partial differential equations; population games; and data-driven control. Trends in Nonlinear and Adaptive Control presents research inspired by and related to Professor Praly’s lifetime of contributions to control theory and is a valuable addition to the literature of advanced control.

This volume contains a selection of contributions by prominent mathematicians from the many interesting presentations delivered at the Conference of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics that was held in Fez, Morocco during the period of 28-30 October, 2008. Readers will find that this volume merges different approaches in nonlinear analysis, and covers, in a broad and balanced fashion, both the theoretical and numerical aspects of the subject. Graduate students, researchers and professionals with interest in the subject will find it useful while keeping abreast with the latest advancements in this field.
