Surface Chaos and Its Applications

This book introduces the chaos and bifurcation behavior of surface dynamics in the sense of Li Yorke, the basic properties, Lyapunov exponent and Feigenbaum constant of nonlinear behavior of surface, and obtained the wave behavior of chaotic process in surface motion, the control of surface chaos and bifurcation, and the wide application of surface chaos in engineering technology.

Shu Tang Liu, Ph.D., second grade professor of Shandong University, doctoral supervisor. 

He received the Ph. D. degree from South China University of Technology in 2002(jointing training by City University of Hong Kong and South China University of Technology). He is the winner of one hundred Excellent Doctoral Dissertations in 2004 in China (jointly organized and implemented by the academic degree office of the State Council and the Ministry of education, discipline of control theory and control engineering). He won the first prize of excellent scientific research achievements of Shandong colleges and universities. 

He is also a member of the center for chaos and complex networks, a commentator of American Mathematical Reviews, a member of the American Mathematical Society, and a member of the international WSEAS automatic control academic committee. He is the reviewer of international magazines such as Complex Systems, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I-Regular Paper, Automatica, Fractals, Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Science China, Chinese Science Bulletin, and Acta Automatica Sinica. 

He has been engaged in scientific research in the fields of nonlinear system theory, fractal and chaos theory, nonlinear control and application, physical oceanography, marine environment and marine ecology. He published three monographs in Springer as the first author: «Fractal Control Theory»,«Fractal Control and Its Appllications»and «Mathematical Principle and Fractal Analysis of Mesoscale Eddy», and published more than 200 papers in top journals and other journals at home and abroad.
