    • English
    Difference Equations and Applications provides unique coverage of high-level topics in the application of difference equations and dynamical systems. The book begins with extensive coverage of the calculus of difference equations, including contemporary topics on l_p stability, exponential stability, and parameters that can be used to qualitatively study solutions to non-linear difference equations, including variations of parameters and equations with constant coefficients, before moving on to the Z-Transform and its various functions, scalings, and applications. It covers systems, Lyapunov functions, and stability, a subject rarely covered in competitor titles, before concluding with a comprehensive section on new variations of parameters.Exercises are provided after each section, ranging from an easy to medium level of difficulty. When finished, students are set up to conduct meaningful research in discrete dynamical systems. In summary, this book is a comprehensive resource that delves into the mathematical theory of difference equations while highlighting their practical applications in various dynamic systems. It is highly likely to be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals in fields where discrete modeling and analysis are essential.

  • The 50th Anniversary Issue of Fish Physiology

    Physiological Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40B
    • English
    Fish Physiology, Volume 40B recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary. The editors of the series have produced a total of 47 books (several volumes have two books) that contain almost 500 chapters since the inaugural volume published in 1969. Initial volumes were devoted to understanding the basic mechanisms and principles of fish physiology, with a focus on a few model species and some application to natural environmental conditions. Then, as the field better understood mechanisms, the approach was broadened to not only delve deeper into system physiology (e.g., chapters in early volumes were expanded to become books), but also interspecific differences in physiology.Finally, as interspecific physiological mechanisms were further resolved, it became possible to discuss physiology in light of a changing world. Thus, physiology can now inform on conservation, sustainability and management, as exemplified with the most recent volumes. This anniversary issue celebrates the series by highlighting some of the very important early work in the field that was published in the series.
