Over the last two decades there has been a great deal of research into nonlinear dynamic models in economics, finance and the social sciences. This book contains twenty papers that range over very recent applications in these areas. Topics covered include structural change and economic growth, disequilibrium dynamics and economic policy as well as models with boundedly rational agents. The book illustrates some of the most recent research tools in this area and will be of interest to economists working in economic dynamics and to mathematicians interested in seeing ideas from nonlinear...

Although the dynamic behavior of piecewise-smooth systems is still far from being understood completely, some significant results in this field have been achieved in the last twenty years. The investigation of these systems is important not only because they represent adequate models for many applications ranging from mechanical and electrical engineering up to financial markets, but also due to the importance of the phenomena observed in other types of dynamical systems as well. It is natural, therefore, to begin the analysis with the most simple subclass of piecewise-smooth systems (namely...

The materials in the book and on the accompanying disc are not solely developed with only the researcher and professional in mind, but also with consideration for the student: most of this material has been class-tested by the authors. The book is packed with some 100 computer graphics to illustrate the material, and the CD-ROM contains full-colour animations tied directly to the subject matter of the book itself. The cross-platform CD also contains the program ENDO, which enables users to create their own 2-D imagery with X-Windows. Maple scripts are provided to allow readers to work...

This text is devoted to complex dynamical behaviours of a class of maps (called endomorphisms) with a vanishing Jacobian and to the bifurications leading to such behaviours, or modifying them. These maps constitute models of discrete dynamic systems encountered in engineering and physics.
