Long-Time Prediction in Dynamics

by C.W. Horton (Editor), Linda E. Reichl (Editor), Victor G. Szebehely (Editor)

A unique selection of articles on predicting time evolution in nonlinear dynamical systems. Leading international scientists analyze systems ranging from the simple area preserving two-dimensional maps to the question of the foundations of kinetic theory in statistical physics and plasma theory. Covers problems such as the dynamics and statistical physics of atomic gravitational and plasma systems; the orbits of particle beam accelerators and magnetic fusion systems; and space applications of gravitational systems.
