Sommario/riassunto |
|
With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social |

Sommario/riassunto |

This book, the ninth of 15 related monographs, discusses a two product-cubic dynamical system possessing different product-cubic structures and the equilibrium and flow singularity and bifurcations for appearing and switching bifurcations. The appearing bifurcations herein are parabola-saddles, saddle-sources (sinks), hyperbolic-to- |

hyperbolic-secant flows, and inflection-source (sink) flows. The switching bifurcations for saddle-source (sink) with hyperbolic-to-hyperbolic-secant flows and parabola-saddles with inflection-source (sink) flows are based on the parabola-source (sink), parabola-saddles, inflection-saddles infinite-equilibriums. The switching bifurcations for the network of the simple equilibriums with hyperbolic flows are parabola-saddles and inflection-source (sink) on the inflection-source and sink infinite-equilibriums. Readers will learn new concepts, theory, phenomena, and analysis techniques. · Two-different product-cubic systems · Hybrid networks of higher-order equilibriums and flows · Hybrid series of simple equilibriums and hyperbolic flows · Higher-singular equilibrium appearing bifurcations · Higher-order singular flow appearing bifurcations · Parabola-source (sink) infinite-equilibriums · Parabola-saddle infinite-equilibriums · Inflection-saddle infinite-equilibriums · Inflection-source (sink) infinite-equilibriums · Infinite-equilibrium switching bifurcations. Develops a theory of nonlinear dynamics and singularity of two-different product-cubic dynamical systems; Presents networks of singular and simple equilibriums and hyperbolic flows in such different structure product-cubic systems; Reveals network switching bifurcations through infinite-equilibriums of parabola-source (sink) and parabola-saddles. |
