Recenzje

"The basic aim of this book is to present very recent analytical methods in nonlinear systems, which mainly have been developed during the past few decades. It can be useful for researchers and graduate students, who are pursuing research studies on nonlinear differential equations and systems as well as on nonlinear oscillations, analytical dynamics and applied mathematics. It may also be considered as a broad reference source for those seeking advanced knowledge in the area of nonlinear differential equations and systems." (V. A. Pron'ko, zbMATH 1439.34002, 2020)
