Airports are dynamic infrastructure assets and organisations, which are subject to constant change as a result of increasing traffic, ownership changes, environmental, economic, safety and technological changes. Customers (airlines, passengers and freight organisations) and stakeholders (government, community) also put pressure on airports to change.This book examines the pressures to change faced by airports of different sizes, from small community airports to intercontinental meg...

This book studies the theoretical aspects for a variety of coupled fractional differential systems involving Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, ψ-Riemann--Liouville, Hilfer, ψ--Hilfer, Hadamard, Hilfer--Hadamard, Erdelyi--Kober, (k, ψ)-Hilfer, generalized, Proportional, ψ-Proportional, Hilfer--proportional, ψ-Hilfer--proportional type fractional derivative operators, subject to different types of nonlocal boundary conditions. The topic of fractional differential systems is one of the hot and impor...

The field of fractional calculus (FC) is more than 300 years old, and it presumably stemmed from a question about a fractional-order derivative raised in communication between L'Hopital and Leibniz in the year 1695. This branch of mathematical analysis is regarded as the generalization of classical calculus, as it deals with the derivative and integral operators of fractional order. The tools of fractional calculus are found to be of great utility in improving the mathematical modeling of ...

There has been a great advancement in the study of fractional-order nonlocal nonlinear boundary value problems during the last few decades. The interest in the subject of fractional-order boundary value problems owes to the extensive application of fractional differential equations in many engineering and scientific disciplines. Fractional-order differential and integral operators provide an excellent instrument for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials a...

This book focuses on the recent development of fractional differential equations, integro-differential equations, and inclusions and inequalities involving the Hadamard derivative and integral. Through a comprehensive study based in part on their recent research, the authors address the issues related to initial and boundary value problems involving Hadamard type differential equations and inclusions as well as their functional counterparts. The book covers fundamental concepts of multival...

This book is devoted to the study of existence of solutions or positive solutions for various classes of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional differential equations, and systems of fractional differential equations subject to nonlocal boundary conditions. The monograph draws together many of the authors' results, that have been obtained and highly cited in the literature in the last four years.In each chapter, various examples are presented which support the main results. The methods us...

The main objective of this book is to extend the scope of the q-calculus based on the definition of q-derivative [Jackson (1910)] to make it applicable to dense domains. As a matter of fact, Jackson's definition of q-derivative fails to work for impulse points while this situation does not arise for impulsive equations on q-time scales as the domains consist of isolated points covering the case of consecutive points. In precise terms, we study quantum calculus on finite intervals.In the fi...

The fascinating book not only highlights the various aspects of the life of Holy Prophet but also presents the prominent events and episodes in the history of Islam with solid historical testimonies.

Honoring Andrei Agrachev's 60th birthday, this volume presents recent advances in the interaction between Geometric Control Theory and sub-Riemannian geometry. On the one hand, Geometric Control Theory used the differential geometric and Lie algebraic language for studying controllability, motion planning, stabilizability and optimality for control systems. The geometric approach turned out to be fruitful in applications to robotics, vision modeling, mathematical physics etc. On the other ...

This book contains an extensive collection of exercises and problems that address relevant topics in linear algebra. Topics that the author finds missing or inadequately covered in most existing books are also included. The exercises will be both interesting and helpful to an average student. Some are fairly routine calculations, while others require serious thought.The format of the questions makes them suitable for teachers to use in quizzes and assigned homework. Some of the problems ma...

The contributions in this volume—dedicated to the work and mathematical interests of Oleg Viro on the occasion of his 60th birthday—are invited papers from the Marcus Wallenberg symposium and focus on research topics that bridge the gap among analysis, geometry, and topology. The encounters among these three fields are widespread and often provide impetus for major breakthroughs in applications.Topics covered include new developments in low-dimensional topology related to invariant...
