Product Description: This monograph has the ambitious aim of developing a mathematical theory of complex biological systems with special attention to the phenomena of ageing, degeneration and repair of biological tissues under individual self-repair actions that may have good potential in medical therapy...read more

Product Description: This book presents contributions on the following topics: discretization methods in the velocity and space, analysis of the conservation properties, asymptotic convergence to the continuous equation when the number of velocities tends to infinity, and application of discrete models...read more

Product Description: This volume contains papers presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Stochastic Mechanics held in Turin in July 1991. The symposium concentrated on fundamental aspects (stochastic analysis and mathematical methods), on specific applications in various branches of mechanics, engineering and applied sciences as well as on related fields such as analysis of large systems, system identification and earthquake prediction...read more
