Mathematical Methods in Engineering

This book presents a careful selection of the contributions presented at the Mathematical Methods in Engineering (MME10) International Symposium, held at the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra- Engineering Institute of Coimbra (IPC/ISEC), Portugal, October 21-24, 2010. The volumediscusses recent developments about theoretical and applied mathematics toward the solution of engineering problems, thus covering a wide range of topics, such as: Automatic Control, Autonomous Systems, Computer Science,Dynamical Systems and Control,Electronics,Finance and Economics,Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer,Fractional Mathematics,Fractional Transforms and Their Applications, Fuzzy Sets and Systems,Image and Signal Analysis,Image Processing,Mechanics,Mechatronics,Motor Control and Human Movement Analysis, Nonlinear Dynamics,Partial Differential Equations, Robotics, Acoustics, Vibration and Control, andWavelets.
