Nota di contenuto

Nonlinear waves, solitons and IST -- Integrability — and how to detect it -- to the Hirota bilinear method -- Lie bialgebras, poisson Lie groups and dressing transformations -- Analytic and asymptotic methods for nonlinear singularity analysis: a review and extensions of tests for the Painlevé property -- Bifurcations, chaos, controlling and synchronization of certain nonlinear oscillators -- Eight lectures on integrable systems -- Bilinear formalism in solition theory -- Quantum and classical integrable systems.

Sommario/riassunto

The theory of nonlinear systems and, in particular, of integrable systems is related to several very active fields of research in theoretical physics. Many mathematical aspects of nonlinear systems, both continuous and discrete, are analyzed here with particular emphasis on the domains of inverse-scattering techniques, singularity analysis, the bilinear formalism, chaos in nonlinear oscillators, Lie-algebraic and group-theoretical methods, classical and quantum integrability, bihamiltonian structures. The book will be of considerable interest to



those who wish to study integrable systems, and to follow the future developments, both in mathematics and in theoretical physics, of the theory of integrability.

Sommario/riassunto

The Museum of Natural History of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo d'Asburgo Lorena, is one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific museums in the world. The fourth volume on the Collections of the Mineralogy and Lithology Section, published like the previous volumes by the Firenze University Press, fits perfectly in the series dedicated to the collections of the University's Museum System. The first part of the book describes in great detail the paths that led to the formation of the collections, starting with those dating to the Medici period and arriving at the specimens collected during recent expeditions. The second part illustrates and documents the extraordinary specimens of minerals, hardstone carvings and meteorites which represent the material



patrimony of this section. Particular attention is given to the holotypes, the Elban Collection and the minerals of pegmatites, as well as the methods and solutions adopted to realize the project of the new museum exhibition set-up. The third and last part describes the studies carried out on the materials: from the minerals of the systematic collections to the rock specimens that recount not only the geodiversity of a region but also the history of a city.
