Mathematical Modelling: Selected Objects And Processes

This is the first book on the problems of mathematical modelling that combines a generalised approach to the problem of mathematical modelling processes and phenomena in the real world with developing modelling methods in relation to specific objects and processes. Some of the problems discussed here include the stability and bifurcation of simplified models of supply and demand, and resultants of various approaches, such as standardisation, unification, partial ordering and data packaging.As well as touching upon the general principles of modelling, the book studies the stability of mathematical models using the generalised direct Lyapunov method based on matrix-valued auxiliary functions. It has significant potential for application in the design of new moving objects (nano-robots, manipulators, drones, etc.) and processes related to artificial intelligence (multidimensional interaction of related data arrays) that can be described by differential equations of different types.Written by two respected specialists in the field of the qualitative theory of equations and problems of modelling real-world phenomena, this book is primarily targeted at specialists in the field of engineering sciences, but is also suitable for graduate courses.

Fluid Dynamic and Kinetic Modeling of the Near-Cathode Region in Thermal Plasmas

High intensity discharge (HID) lamps are often found in high power lighting applications, such as car head lights, video projectors, or stadium lights. The characteristics of such discharges are mainly determined by the plasma in the near-cathode region. This work investigates the near-cathode region with fluid dynamic and kinetic methods. The kinetic model, which is solved by expanding the heavy particle distribution functions into Hermite and Laguerre polynomials, proves to be more powerful and accurate.
