Either/or thinking is a major stumbling block to human development and understanding. In this book Kelso & Engstrøm offer a whole new way of looking at the world, awakening a “sixth sense” that people didn’t realize they had. It draws on the profound relationship between nature’s many complementary contraries and the paradigm shifting science of coordination called Coordination Dynamics. The human brain~mind, through the multi- and metastable modes of its coordination dynamics, gives rise to a sentient faculty called the squiggle sense. Nature's contraries are...

This book addresses the problem of accurate state estimation in nonlinear continuous-time stochastic models with additive noise and discrete measurements. Its main focus is on numerical aspects of computation of the expectation and covariance in Kalman-like filters rather than on statistical properties determining a model of the system state. Nevertheless, it provides the sound theoretical background and covers all contemporary state estimation techniques beginning at the celebrated Kalman filter, including its versions extended to nonlinear stochastic models, and till the most advanced...

This book provides a complete round-up of developments concerned with the application of partial moments in system identification and data-driven modelling; it captures the essence of work carried out at the Laboratoire d'Informatique et d'Automatique pour les Systèmes for more than 40 years.

The book begins with introductory material, describing both the mathematical tools associated with partial moments and reinitialized partial moments and an example demonstrating their use. The authors then proceed to show how these tools can be used for the identification of...

The aim of this book is to quickly elevate students to a proficiency level where they can solve linear and nonlinear partial differential equations using state-of-the-art numerical methods. It covers numerous topics typically absent in introductory texts on ODEs and PDEs, including:

• Computing solutions to chaotic dynamical systems with TRBDF2


• Simulating the nonlinear diffusion equation with TRBDF2


• Applying Newton’s method and GMRES to the nonlinear Laplace equation


• Analyzing gas dynamics with WENO3 (1D Riemann problems and 2D supersonic...
