Nonlinear Studies

Nonlinear Studies, (formally Nonlinear Times and Digest), which is a journal of scholarly research in its own right, and also includes the coverage of newsworthy developments concerning the activities of IFNA and the Regional Federations. Carfax Publishing is the journal for IFNA, and it is provided free to IFNA members.

Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods, and Applications

Nonlinear Analysis, Theory, Methods & Applications is concerned, as the title stresses, with three major activities. It is a multidisciplinary journal, which has applications in main academic subjects as well as in industry and government. The journal publishes important research and expository papers and preliminary communications devoted to solving nonlinear problems in all areas of theory, methods and applications of nonlinear analysis. Clearly, papers that tend to integrate and interrelate theory, methods and applications within the scope of the journal will be particularly welcomed.

Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications

The scholarly journal, Nonlinear World, commenced its publication by Walter de Gruyter & Co. in cooperation with IFNA in 1994. Since then, IFNA published its own issues for 1997. Now, we are happy to announce that Elsevier Publishing, Ltd. will be publishing it as a subseries of Nonlinear Analysis namely, Nonlinear Analysis Series B: Real World Applications. There will still be four issues totalling 500 pages slated per year. Series B welcomes papers in any discipline that address advances which attempt to understand, model, experiment, compute, predict and provide basic theories for analyzing and solving nonlinear problems that confront the real world. Papers that emphasize and demonstrate interdisciplinary interactions and are presented such that nonlinear analysts from diverse fields can at least grasp the main result, techniques, and their potential applications are preferred. Papers of an applied nature are welcome and encouraged.

Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems and Applications

The interest in the study of hybrid systems has grown exponentially over the last few years because of the theoretical challenges involved in the investigation of such systems and also because of the impact on applications in several disciplines and industrial contexts. At a conceptual level, scientists identify computational systems with processing tools of the available information. In own turn, information may arise either from already formalized knowledge, or from sharp observations of a phenomenon, or even from rough information granules linked to the observations. Recent technological innovations have caused a considerable interest in the study of dynamical processes of a heterogeneous continuous and discrete nature, denoted as hybrid systems, characterized by the interaction of a continuous time models, governed by differential or difference equations, and of logic rules and discrete event systems and discrete components. Hybrid systems switch between many operating modes where each mode is governed by its own characteristic dynamical laws. Typical hybrid systems are embedded systems that are at the heart of a wide area of applications. Also, hybrid systems arise frequently in the supervision of complex dynamical processes that may exhibit a highly complex behavior which can only be effectively analyzed by computationally effective methods for modeling, analysis and synthesis of hybrid systems. Moreover, impulsive differential equations with variable structure generated by switching into a new differential system and dynamic systems on time scale where the time is an arbitrary closed set may also be considered as hybrid system applicable to real world problems. The scientific literature of hybrid systems covers almost all branches of disciplines. For example, we find that research work in agricultural and biological sciences, chemistry and chemical engineering, astronomy, earth and planetary sciences, computer science, engineering, energy and technology, environmental sciences, economics, business and management, life sciences, materials science, mathematics, medicine, neuroscience, pharmacology, psychology, social and behavioral sciences, languages and linguistics, and law.
