From the reviews:
“The usefulness of the book is as a good auxiliary textbook for such courses as Mathematical Modeling, Dynamical Systems, Equations of Mathematical Physics.” (Vladimir Răsvan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1195, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
About the author
Professor Yoshida's contributions range from the mathematical physics to leading an experimental team of plasma physics. He has studied the self-organization of structures in plasmas using various theoretical methods such as variational principles, singular perturbation theory, operator theory, functional analysis, topological methods, etc., and, in particular, is well known for important contributions to the mathematical theory of the curl operator, which he has developed to extend and deepen the understanding of nonlinear structures in general vortex dynamics systems.
