Description
Bridges studies the origin of Korteweg-de Vries equation using phase modulation and its implications in dynamical systems and nonlinear waves.
About the Author
Thomas J. Bridges is currently Professor of Mathematics at the University of Surrey. He has been researching the theory of nonlinear waves for over 25 years. He is co-editor of the volume Lectures on the Theory of Water Waves (Cambridge, 2016) and he has over 140 published papers on such diverse topics as multisymplectic structures, Hamiltonian dynamics, ocean wave energy harvesting, geometric numerical integration, stability of nonlinear waves, the geometry of the Hopf bundle, theory of water waves and phase modulation.
Reviews
'This book has been written by a well-established researcher in the field. His expertise is evidenced by the deft exposition of relatively challenging material. In that regard, one of the very useful functions of this book is its provision of a number of background mathematical techniques in Hamiltonians systems, symplectic geometry, Noether theory and Lagrangian field theory.' K. Alan Shore, Contemporary Physics
'The book is clearly written, and only the most basic knowledge of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian theories is required.' Wen-Xiu Ma, MathSciNet
