Download or read book Ergodic Theory, Analysis, and Efficient Simulation of Dynamical Systems written by Bernold Fiedler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes and highlights progress in Dynamical Systems achieved during six years of the German Priority Research Program "Ergotic Theory, Analysis, and Efficient Simulation of Dynamical Systems", funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The three fundamental topics of large time behavior, dimension, and measure are tackled with by a rich circle of uncompromisingly rigorous mathematical concepts. The range of applied issues comprises such diverse areas as crystallization and dendrite growth, the dynamo effect, efficient simulation of biomolecules, fluid dynamics and reacting flows, mechanical problems involving friction, population biology, the spread of infectious diseases, and quantum chaos. The surveys in the book are addressed to experts and non-experts in the mathematical community alike. In addition they intend to convey the significance of the results for applications fair into the neighboring disciplines of Science.
