Advances in Difference Equations


Free Download Advances in Difference Equations by Azhar Ali Zafar, Nehad Ali Shah, Nehad Ali Shah
English | PDF (True) | 2024 | 194 Pages | ISBN : 3725823596 | 5.3 MB
The aim of this reprint is to highlight the significance of difference equations and their applications in applied mathematics. Difference equations provide a robust and widely recognized framework for modeling complex dynamical systems. In recent years, non-integer order derivative operators have gained attention, particularly for understanding anomalous behaviors in social and physical sciences. The following Special Issue introduces several important developments, including new partial fractional derivatives, a novel nonlinear delayed integral inequality for studying integro-differential equations, and a neural network approach for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear differential equations with impulses at variable times are discussed, as well as the oscillatory behavior of nonlinear second-order differential equations. Ultimately, this reprint bridges theory and application, offering novel insights with a focus on differential and difference equations.

By not learning how to manage your money, you become a servant to your finances. Even though you may have a heart that wants to boldly serve God, you can end up serving money by default simply because of your financial situation in life.

Health and Difference Rendering Human Variation in Colonial Engagements


Free Download Alexandra Widmer, "Health and Difference: Rendering Human Variation in Colonial Engagements "
English | ISBN: 1785332716 | 2016 | 250 pages | PDF | 1464 KB
Human variation represented a central research topic for life scientists and posed challenging administrative issues for colonial bureaucrats in the first half of the 20th century. By following scientists’ and administrators’ interests in innovating styles and tools for making and circulating documents, in reshaping landscapes and environments, and in fixing distances between humans, the book advances new understandings of the materiality of colonial institutional life and governance.
