Introduction -- 2. Nonautonomous problems -- 3.Autonomous problems -- 4.Convex Autonomous Problems -- References -- Index.Structure of Solutions of Variational Problems is devoted to recent progress made in the studies of the structure of approximate solutions of variational problems considered on subintervals of a real line.  Results on properties of approximate solutions which are independent of the length of the interval, for all sufficiently large intervals are presented in a clear manner. Solutions, new approaches, techniques and methods to a number of difficult problems in the calculus of variations  are illustrated throughout this book. This book also contains significant results and information about the turnpike property of the variational problems. This well-known property is a general phenomenon which holds for large classes of variational problems. The author examines the following in relation to the turnpike property  in individual  (non-generic) turnpike results, sufficient and necessary conditions for the turnpike phenomenon as well as in the non-intersection property for extremals of variational problems. This book appeals to mathematicians  working in optimal control and the calculus as  well as with graduate students.SpringerBriefs in optimization.Calculus of variationsCalculus of variations.516.3516.36Zaslavski Alexander J721713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910739440603321Structure of Solutions of Variational Problems3552709UNINA04442nam 22006615 450 991102042250332120250807130555.09783031973635(electronic bk.)978303197362810.1007/978-3-031-97363-5(MiAaPQ)EBC32256203(Au-PeEL)EBL32256203(CKB)40138069900041(DE-He213)978-3-031-97363-5(EXLCZ)994013806990004120250807d2025 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCattle, Their Predators and Geomatics Research /by Michael O'Neal Campbell1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (595 pages)Print version: Campbell, Michael O'Neal Cattle, Their Predators and Geomatics Research Cham : Springer,c2025 9783031973628 Wild Cattle Species and Their Ecology -- Wild Cattle and their Carnivores -- Cattle Ancestry, Domestication and Carnivores -- Cattle Ancestry and Ancient Carnivores -- Predators of Cattle in Europe -- Predators of Cattle in Africa -- Predators of Cattle in North America -- Predators of Cattle in South America -- Conclusions.Cattle are currently the most important domesticated mammals, with populations numbering in the hundreds of millions and occupying large tracts of land, while the conservation of large mammalian carnivores is becoming a dominant discourse in modern geopolitics, also claiming large portions of the Earth's land surface. Computer-based surveying and communication systems, including geomatics, Big Data and Big Tech, are becoming an essential part of human communication and environmental assessments and are critical to large-scale assessments of land conflicts. A current, critical, potent but neglected issue concerns the measurement of the interfaces of large carnivore and cattle ecologies, in a cross continental format. This book offers a novel approach to the interfaces of the sciences of conservation biology, animal ecology, agricultural development and geomatics, which are increasingly interconnected in modern, global development scenarios. For animal ecology and conservation biology, it is about the management systems that have developed from ecological and human parameters. For agricultural development, topics concern ancestral development, physiological characteristics, ecological requirements, and predation opportunities and conflicts of cattle breeds. For geomatics, the topics concern the image-based and survey-based technologies that enable more critical environmental assessments. The book takes a novel approach by examining the ancestry of cattle, including the aurochs and current wild buffalos, gaur, banteng, yaks, bison, the process of domestication into taurine and indicine cattle, the semi-domestication of yaks and water buffalo, the ecologies of ancestral and modern large carnivores, including bears, big cats and canids, and how the requirements of these large charismatic mammals conflict with the requirements of cattle and agricultural development, in Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America. This integrative approach contributes to the interests of academic researchers, students, practitioners and policy makers, and general readers.Conservation biologyEcologyAnimal cultureAnimal migrationAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsGenomicsConservation BiologyAnimal ScienceAnimal MigrationAnimal EthicsGenomicsConservation biology.Ecology.Animal culture.Animal migration.Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Genomics.Conservation Biology.Animal Science.Animal Migration.Animal Ethics.Genomics.333.9516Campbell Michael O'Neal1460593MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9911020422503321Cattle, Their Predators and Geomatics Research4420261UNINA
