Benefits and complications arise when animal behavior is seen through a ‘rationality’ point of view. First, we refer to diverse ways in which the notion of rationality may play a heuristic role in driving both mechanistic ...

In many courses with a strong mathematical background, students often experience difficulties when concepts are put into practice to solve problems. In our teaching experience, the R language for statistical computing is ...

Scientific computing over the Internet can suit many activities that have not, in the authors’ opinion, been explored enough in general. Resources such as executables, languages, packages, can be used from a remote computing ...

In this chapter several examples of physical systems whose dynamic behaviour can be approximated by several forms of the Duffing equation are given. The physical systems are chosen to illustrate the physical phenomena that ...

The advantages of networking are widely known in many areas (from business to personal ones). One particular area where networks have also proved their benefits is education. Taking the secondary school education level ...

This paper deals with exponential stability of discrete-time singular systems with Markov jump parameters. We propose a set of coupled generalized Lyapunov equations (CGLE) that provides sufficient conditions to check this ...
