Ali Hasan Nayfeh (Arabic: علي نايفة) (21 December 1933 – 27 March 2017) [1] was a Palestinian-Jordanian mathematician, mechanical engineer and physicist. [2] He is regarded as the most influential scholar and scientist in the area of applied nonlinear dynamics in mechanics and engineering. [3]
Dynamical neuroscience describes the non-linear dynamics at many levels of the brain from single neural cells [3] to cognitive processes, sleep states and the behavior of neurons in large-scale neuronal simulation. [4] Neurons have been modeled as nonlinear systems for decades, but dynamical systems are not constrained to neurons.
Nonlinear Dynamics. Models of bifurcation and chaos by Elmer G. Wiens; Sci.Nonlinear FAQ 2.0 (Sept 2003) provides definitions, explanations and resources related to nonlinear science; Online books or lecture notes. Geometrical theory of dynamical systems. Nils Berglund's lecture notes for a course at ETH at the advanced undergraduate level.
He is considered one of the founders of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. His work on turbulence contributed to an understanding of the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. He provided contributions to the description of a laser using nonlinear dynamics. With Stefan Thomae he produced a value for the Feigenbaum constant. [1]
In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. [8]
System dynamics is an approach to understanding the behaviour of systems over time. It deals with internal feedback loops and time delays that affect the behaviour and state of the entire system. [3] What makes using system dynamics different from other approaches to studying systems is the language used to describe feedback loops with stocks ...
Nonlinear control theory is the area of control theory which deals with systems that are nonlinear, time-variant, or both. Control theory is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and mathematics that is concerned with the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how to modify the output by changes in the input using feedback ...
Muthusamy Lakshmanan was born on 25 March 1946 in Pollachi, in the Coimbatore district of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.He graduated in science from NGM College in Pollachi in 1966 and earned his master's degree in physics (MSc) at Madras Christian College of the University of Madras in 1969.
