Chaotic Transitions in Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamical Systems : Applications of Melnikov Processes in Engineering, Physics, and Neuroscience.

The classical Melnikov method provides information on the behavior of deterministic planar systems that may exhibit transitions, i.e. escapes from and captures into preferred regions of phase space. This book develops a unified treatment of deterministic and stochastic systems that extends the appli...
