The chapters in this volume, written by international experts from different fields of mathematics, are devoted to honoring George Isac, a renowned mathematician. These contributions focus on recent developments in complementarity theory, variational principles, stability theory of functional equations, nonsmooth optimization, and several other important topics at the forefront of nonlinear analysis and optimization.
Nonlinear analysis is a broad, interdisciplinary field characterized by a remarkable mixture of analysis, topology, and applications. Its concepts and techniques provide the tools for developing more realistic and accurate models for a variety of phenomena encountered in fields ranging from engineering and chemistry to economics and biology.

Much work on fuzzy control, covering research, development and applications, has been developed in Europe since the 90's. Nevertheless, the existing books in the field are compilations of articles without interconnection or logical structure or they express the personal point of view of the author. This book compiles the developments of researchers with demonstrated experience in the field of fuzzy control following a logic structure and a unified the style. The first chapters of the book are dedicated to the introduction of the main fuzzy logic techniques, where the following chapters focus on concrete applications. This book is supported by the EUSFLAT and CEA-IFAC societies, which include a large number of researchers in the field of fuzzy logic and control. The central topic of the book, Fuzzy Control, is one of the main research and development lines covered by these associations.
This book highlights the potential of getting benefits from various applications of computational intelligence techniques. The present book is structured such that to include a set of selected and extended papers from the 6th IEEE International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics SACI 2011, held in Timisoara, Romania, from 19 to 21 May 2011. After a serious paper review performed by the Technical Program Committee only 116 submissions were accepted, leading to a paper acceptance ratio of 65 %. A further refinement was made after the symposium, based also on the assessment of the presentation quality. Concluding, this book includes the extended and revised versions...
We often come across computational optimization virtually in all branches of engineering and industry. Many engineering problems involve heuristic search and optimization, and, once discretized, may become combinatorial in nature, which gives rise to certain difficulties in terms of solution procedure. Some of these problems have enormous search spaces, are NP-hard and hence require heuristic solution techniques. Another difficulty is the lack of ability of classical solution techniques to determine appropriate optima of non-convex problems. Under these conditions, recent advances in computational optimization techniques have been shown to be advantageous and successful compared to classical...
Bringing new contributions to science might be challenging, however, this is our path to evolution. We cannot assume that we know everything, but it is only our curiosity that can lead us to answers. Therefore, we can and we should keep trying, seeking new and different paths. There is always a starting point: asking yourself „Why?”, and the answer will follow… The purpose of the present book is the study of some mathematical models of cell dynamics and convex optimization problems applied to chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of leukemia also known as chronic myelogenous leukemia. We take into consideration basic concepts, methods and results from the theory of differential equations, such as: existence, uniqueness, monotonicity, boundedness, continuous dependence on data and stability of solutions.
This book contains a collection of articles on the topics mentioned in the title or closely related to them, and is dedicated to Prof Aristide Halanay from the University of Bucharest, Romania, in occasion of his 70th birthday. The authors are in most cases former students of Halanay or research associates from the University of Bucharest, the Mathematical Institute of the Romanian Academy and the Technical University of Bucharest. There are contributions from mathematicians from Finland, Belgium, the United States of America, Morocco, India and Ireland.The topics indicated above are in most cases related to Halanay's work and constitute significant contemporary research items in Applied Mathematics and Engineering. The book is written at research level and is primarily addressing mathematicians interested in the above mentioned areas as well as research engineers. The book will be also useful to graduate students with specialization in the areas listed above.More than 25 authors have contributed to the volume.
This book discusses almost periodic and almost automorphic solutions to abstract integro-differential Volterra equations that are degenerate in time, and in particular equations whose solutions are governed by (degenerate) solution operator families with removable singularities at zero. It particularly covers abstract fractional equations and inclusions with multivalued linear operators as well as abstract fractional semilinear Cauchy problems.
Since the 1960s, many researchers have extended topological degree theory to various non-compact type nonlinear mappings, and it has become a valuable tool in nonlinear analysis. Presenting a survey of advances made in generalizations of degree theory during the past decade, this book focuses on topological degree theory in normed spaces and its ap
Stem cell and regenerative medicine research is a hot area of research which promises to change the face of medicine as it will be practiced in the years to come. Challenges in the 21st century to combat diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer and related diseases may well be addressed employing stem cell therapies and tissue regeneration. Frontiers in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research is essential reading for researchers seeking updates in stem cell therapeutics and regenerative medicine. This volume includes reviews on the following topics: -the role of microvesicles and exosomes in mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) in treating diseases while overcoming side effects -alternative models for understanding cancer stem cell biology -stem cells treatments for orthopaedic injury and endocrine disorders -wound healing biomaterials -theoretical models of hematopoietic cell dynamics (with implications for bone marrow transplants)
