This book presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the area dissipative optical solitons, with theoretical and experimental results

This work focuses on the invariance of important properties between continuous and discrete models of systems which can be useful in the control design of large-scale systems and their software implementations. In particular, this paper discusses the relationships between the QSR dissipativity of a continuous state dynamical system and of its abstractions obtained through approximate input-outp...

u(0) = u0(x), with given parameters λ ∈ R and σ > 0, the latter describing the strength of the dissipation within our model. We shall consider the physically relevant situation of d 6 3 spatial dimensions and assume that the dissipative nonlinearity is at least of the same order as the cubic one, i.e. p > 3. However, in dimension d = 3, we shall restrict ourselves to 3 6 p 6 5. In other words, ...

We consider a gravity dual description of time dependent, strongly interacting large-Nc N = 4 SYM. We regard the gauge theory system as a fluid with shear viscosity. Our fluid is expanding in one direction following the Bjorken’s picture that is relevant to RHIC experiments. We obtain the dual geometry at the late time that is consistent with dissipative hydrodynamics. We show that the integrat...

We consider the following problem: given two mathematical system models, one representing accurately a physical system and the other representing its approximation, what passivity properties of the system can be inferred from studying only the approximate model. Our results show that an excess of passivity (whether in the form of input strictly passive, output strictly passive or very strictly ...

How can the origins of life sciences inform design thinking in an ecological era? This paper considers the possibility of the origins of life sciences as being more than a blue sky practice for the development of advanced scientific theories but also offers a technical platform for designing and engineering life-like solutions for an ecological era. A design-led study of dissipative systems is ...

This paper analyzed the characteristic of the tourism destination ecosystem from perspective of entropy in Dunhuang City. Given these circumstances, an evaluation index system that considers the potential of sustainable development was formed based on dissipative structure and entropy change for the tourism destination ecosystem. The sustainable development potential evaluation model for touris...

We study the detailed dynamics of DPD particles by looking at the velocity autocorrelation function. We observe that in the regimes of interest for simulations, the velocity autocorrelation function reflects the hydrodynamic behavior of these particles.  1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
