Reachable Sets of Dynamic Systems: Uncertainty, Sensitivity, and Complex Dynamics introduces differential inclusions, providing an overview as well as multiple examples of its interdisciplinary applications. The design of dynamic systems of any type is an important issue as is the influence of uncertainty in model parameters and model sensitivity. The possibility of calculating the reachable sets may be a powerful additional tool in such tasks. This book can help graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in the field of computer simulation and model building, in the calculation of reachable sets of dynamic models.

Introduces methodologies and approaches to the modeling and simulation of dynamic systems Presents uncertainty treatment and model sensitivity are described, and interdisciplinary examples Explores applications of differential inclusions in modeling and simulation

Simulation is the art of using tools – physical or conceptual models, or computer hardware and software, to attempt to create the illusion of reality. The discipline has in recent years expanded to include the modelling of systems that rely on human factors and therefore possess a large proportion of uncertainty, such as social, economic or commercial systems. These new applications make the discipline of modelling and simulation a field of dynamic growth and new research. Stanislaw Raczynski outlines the considerable and promising research that is being conducted to counter the problems of uncertainty surrounding the methods used to approach these new applications. It aims to stimulate the reader into seeking out new tools for modelling and simulation. Examines the state-of-the-art in recent research into methods of approaching new applications in the field of modelling and simulationProvides an introduction to new modelling tools such as differential inclusions, metric structures in the space of models, semi-discrete events, and use of simulation in parallel optimization techniquesDiscusses recently developed practical applications: for example the PASION simulation system, stock market simulation, a new fluid dynamics tool, manufacturing simulation and the simulation of social structuresIllustrated throughout with a series of case studiesModelling and Simulation: The Computer Science of Illusion will appeal to academics, postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners in the modelling and simulation of industrial computer systems. It will also be of interest to those using simulation as an auxiliary tool.

Computer Modeling and Simulation provides a comprehensive but concise analysis of the concepts, methods, and software for students, educators, and professionals in the field of modeling and simulation by computers. Stanislaw Raczynski's book can be used in preparing and delivering graduate-level courses. It is written rather as an encyclopedic reference rather a regular textbook. The book contains more than 130 topics, form the general methodological issues to the particular implementation and main existing software tools. Some new and original concepts are included, notably functional sensitivity, application of the differential inclusions, and determination of reachable sets of dynamic systems.

This introductory textbook/reference addresses the fundamental and mostly applied kinds of models. The focus is on models of dynamic systems that move and change over time. However, the work also proposes new methods of uncertainty treatment, offering supporting examples.Topics and features:Chapters suitable for textbook use in teaching modeling and simulationIncludes sections of questions and answers, helpful in didactic workProposes new methodology in addition to examining conventional approachesOffers some cognitive, more abstract models to give a wider insight on model buildingThe book’s readership may consist of researchers working on multidisciplinary problems, as well educators and students. It may be used while teaching computer simulation, applied mathematics, system analysis and system dynamics.

This book helps readers understand the basic concepts of electronic circuits. Although basic concepts are presented with the necessary theoretical background, the author uses descriptions of basic electronic circuits in a very compact form and the circuit functions are described in a very accessible manner.

This book presents examples of and the latest simulation studies on artificial societies and populations, highlighting innovative implementations of various models of artificial societies and populations using a new, C++-related simulation tool. It demonstrates that the prey-predator models—including spatial distribution, moving patterns, limited renewable food, fear, gregarious (herd) instinct, clustering, epidemics, and competition—are more complex than other publications have suggested, and highlights the great discrepancy between agent-based and conventional continuous models. The book also discusses the modeling and simulation of self-organization and interactions between organizations, including terror organizations, offering fascinating insights into organizational dynamics.The book provides a broad range of examples and comparisons with the classical dynamics approach, showing readers how to construct models of complex systems. It starts with descriptions ofthe behavior of interacting individuals and also includes important information on the macro-behavior of the whole system.

With agent-based modeling, possible catastrophes and unexpected events in artificial populations are simulated. During the simulations it is possible to observe the macro-behavior of the population, where some unexpected or "catastrophic" events occur.
