"This book presents recent developments in nonlinear dynamics with an emphasis on complex systems. The volume illustrates new methods to characterize the solutions of nonlinear dynamics associated with complex systems. This book contains the following topics: new solutions of the functional equations, optimization algorithm for traveling salesman problem, fractals, control, fractional calculus models, fractional discretization, local fractional partial differential equations and their applications, and solutions of fractional kinetic equations."

"Themes that are highlighted include :

• the role of language : the models developed for engineering design have resulted in new ways of talking about technological systems
• communities of practice : related to the previous point, particular engineering communities have particular ways of sharing and developing knowledge
• graphical (re)presentation : engineers have developed many ways of reducing quite complex mathematical models to more simple representations
• reification : highly abstract mathematical models are turned into ‘objects’ that can be manipulated almost like components of a physical system
• machines : not only the currently ubiquitous digital computer, but also older analogue devices, slide rules, physical models, wind tunnels and other small-scale simulators, as well as mechanical, electrical and electronic analogue computers
• mathematics and modelling as a bridging tool between disciplines

"This monograph presents a survey of mathematical models useful in solving reliability problems. It includes a detailed discussion of life distributions corresponding to wearout and their use in determining maintenance policies, and covers important topics such as the theory of increasing (decreasing) failure rate distributions, optimum maintenance policies, and the theory of coherent systems. The emphasis throughout the book is on making minimal assumptions--and only those based on plausible physical considerations--so that the resulting mathematical deductions may be safely made about a large variety of commonly occurring reliability situations. The first part of the book is concerned with component reliability, while the second part covers system reliability, including problems that are as important today as they were in the 1960s."
