Autorentext
Xiaoying Han obtained her PhD from the University at Buffalo, USA in 2007 and is currently a professor at Auburn University, USA. Her main research interests are in random and nonautonomous dynamical systems and their applications. In addition to mathematical analysis of dynamical systems, she is also interested in the modelling and simulation of applied dynamical systems in biology, chemical engineering, ecology, material sciences, etc. Professor Han is a co-author of the books Applied Nonautonomous and Random Dynamical Systems (with T. Caraballo) published in the SpringerBrief series and Random Ordinary Differential Equations and Their Numerical Solutions (with P. E. Kloeden) published by Springer. Peter E. Kloeden completed his PhD and DSc at the University of Queensland, Australia in 1975 and 1995. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Huazhong University of Science & Technology in China, and an affiliated professor at Auburn University, USA. He has wide interests in the applications of mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, stochastic analysis and dynamical systems. Professor Kloeden is a co-author of several influential books on nonautonomous dynamical systems, metric spaces of fuzzy sets, and in particular Numerical Solutions of Stochastic Differential equations (with E. Platen) published by Springer in 1992. He is a Fellow of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics and was awarded the W.T. & Idalia Reid Prize in 2006. His current interests focus on nonautonomous and random dynamical systems and their applications in the biological sciences.
