Bifurcation without Parameters
Targeted at mathematicians having at least a basic familiarity with classical bifurcation theory, this monograph provides a systematic classification and analysis of bifurcations without parameters in dynamical systems. Although the methods and concepts are briefly introduced, a prior knowledge of center-manifold reductions and normal-form calculations will help the reader to appreciate the pre…

Lie and non-Lie Symmetries : Theory and Applications for Solving Nonlinear Mo…
Since the end of the 19th century when the prominent Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie created the theory of Lie algebras and Lie groups and developed the method of their applications for solving differential equations, his theory and method have continuously been the research focus of many well-known mathematicians and physicists. This book is devoted to recent development in Lie theory and i…

Beyond GDP : National Accounting in the Age of Resource Depletion
This book uses the metaphor “The economy is society's metabolism” as a springboard to develop a rigorous theoretical framework for a better system of national accounts which goes “Beyond GDP” and is relevant to the age of resource depletion. Society is entering a new era in which biophysical limits related to natural resource extraction rates and the biosphere's waste assimilation capac…

Quantum simulation experiments with superconducting circuits
While the universal quantum computer seems not in reach for the near future, this work focusses on analog quantum simulation of intriguing quantum models of light-matter interactions, with the goal of achieving a computational speed-up as compared to classical hardware. Existing building blocks of quantum hardware are used from superconducting circuits, that have proven to be a very suitable ex…

Beyond Economic Interests : Critical Perspectives on Adult Literacy and Numer…
Over the last two decades, an increasingly economistic discourse has dominated discussions about adult literacy and numeracy. This book provides critiques of, and alternative narratives to the dominant discourse. Authors provide tools and methodologies of critique, including ways of seeing how policies in the countries of focus come to be captured almost completely by the interests of business…
