Download or read book Singular Perturbations and Hysteresis written by Michael P. Mortell and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together many important recent developments in the analysis of singular perturbation and hysteresis phenomena in an accessible and reasonably comprehensive fashion. To bridge a gap between practitioners of these phenomena, the editors conducted a workshop in April 2002 at University College Cork to provide a forum for experts in both fields to share their interests and knowledge. For this book, the editors have compiled research from those practitioners in areas such as reacting systems, semiconductor lasers, shock phenomena in economic modeling, and fluid mechanics, all with an emphasis on hysteresis and singular perturbations.
