Without Bounds: A Scientific Canvas of Nonlinearity and Complex Dynamics

by Ramon G. Rubio (Editor), Yuri S. Ryazantsev (Editor), Victor M Starov (Editor), Guo-Xiang Huang (Editor), Alexander P Chetverikov (Editor)

Overview

Bringing together over fifty contributions on all aspects of nonlinear and complex dynamics, this impressive topical collection is both a scientific and personal tribute, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, by many outstanding colleagues in the broad fields of research pursued by Prof. Manuel G Velarde. The topics selected reflect the research areas covered by the famous Instituto Pluridisciplinar at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, which he co-founded over two decades ago, and include: fluid physics and related nonlinear phenomena at interfaces and in other geometries, wetting and spreading dynamics, geophysical and astrophysical flows, and novel aspects of electronic transport in anharmonic lattices, as well as topics in neurodynamics and robotics.
