The principal theme of this book is combinatorial scheduling. All coverage is confined to deterministic results and includes conventional models involving single and multiple processors as well as ones of the classic flow and job shop-like variety. In addition, the book discusses workforce staffing models, timetabling problems, the classroom assignment model, and even problems related to traversals in graphs. The author has included understandable descriptions of computational algorithms, demonstrations of algorithms and theorems with sample problems, and substantial lists of end-of-chapter

A new edition of this well-established monograph, this volume provides a comprehensive overview over the still fascinating field of chaos research. The authors include recent developments such as systems with restricted degrees of freedom but put also a strong emphasis on the mathematical foundations. Partly illustrated in color, this fourth edition features new sections from applied nonlinear science, like control of chaos, synchronisation of nonlinear systems, and turbulence, as well as recent theoretical concepts like strange nonchaotic attractors, on-off intermittency and spatio-temporal c

The new edition contains modifications and additions which take into account recent developments in the field. From the reviews of earlier editions: "The book is clearly written and lucidly structured. In particular, the used notations are thoroughly defined, the diverse ideas are well explained, and the results are beautifully motivated." (ZOR. Methods and Models of Operations Research). This book develops a systematic and unifying approach to the most important classes of constrained global optimization and their solution techniques. The main problem classes treated are concave minimization,

This work presents a general theory as well as constructive methodology in order to solve "observation problems," namely, those problems that pertain to reconstructing the full information about a dynamical process on the basis of partial observed data. A general methodology to control processes on the basis of the observations is also developed. Illustrative but practical applications in the chemical and petroleum industries are shown.

Deterministic and Stochastic Time-Delay Systems provides professionals and advanced students in control engineering with the most recent results on deterministic and stochastic time-delay systems. It is an excellent text/reference for graduate level engineering students, or a reference for practicing control engineers, and researchers in control engineering. The control of uncertain systems has dominated the research effort of the control community during the last two decades. Some practical dynamical systems have time-delay in their dynamics, which makes their control a complicated task eve
