This book is devoted to bifurcations of periodic, subharmonic and chaotic oscillations, and travelling waves in nonlinear differential equations and discrete dynamical systems by using the topological degree theory both for single-valued and multi-valued mappings in Banach spaces. Original bifurcation results are proved with applications to a broad variety of nonlinear problems ranging from non-smooth and discontinuous mechanical systems, weakly coupled oscillators, systems with relay hysteresis, through infinite chains of differential equations on lattices involving also spatially...

The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs which cover progresses in fractional calculus research in mathematics and applications in physics, mechanics, engineering and biology etc. Methodological aspects e.g., theory, modeling and computational methods are presented from mathematical point of view, and emphases are placed in computer simulation, analysis, design and control of application-oriented issues in various scientific disciplines. It is designed for mathematicians, and researchers using fractional calculus as a tool in the field of physics, mechanics,...

This book introduces iterative learning control (ILC) and its applications to the new equations such as fractional order equations, impulsive equations, delay equations, and multi-agent systems, which have not been presented in other books on conventional fields. ILC is an important branch of intelligent control, which is applicable to robotics, process control, and biological systems. The fractional version of ILC updating laws and formation control are presented in this book. ILC design for impulsive equations and inclusions are also established. The broad variety of achieved results...
