This monograph presents new insights into the perturbation theory of dynamical systems based on the Gromov-Hausdorff distance.  In the first part, the authors introduce the notion of Gromov-Hausdorff distance between compact metric spaces, along with the corresponding distance for continuous maps, flows, and group actions on these spaces. They also focus on the stability of certain dynamical objects like shifts, global attractors, and inertial manifolds.  Applications to dissipative PDEs, such as the reaction-diffusion and Chafee-Infante equations, are explored in the second part.  This...

This monograph thoroughly explores the development of the theory of varieties of semigroups and of two related algebras: involution semigroups and monoids. Through this in-depth analysis, readers will attain a deeper understanding of the differences between these three types of varieties, which may otherwise seem counterintuitive. New results with detailed proofs are also presented that answer previously unsolved fundamental problems. Featuring both a comprehensive overview as well as highlighting the author’s own significant contributions to the area, this book will help establish this...
