《非线性物理科学：离散和切换动力系统（英文版）》用一种清晰简明、独特的观点讨论非线性离散动力系统稳定性和分叉理论，并分析了离散动力系统中稳定性及其切换的复杂性。本书首先介绍了含多重特征根的线性离散系统的解析解和稳定性理论，给出了详细的离散非线性动力系统的稳定性和奇异性分类；然后通过众多例子展示离散动力系统中的混沌及其分形性，并应用正映射和负映射讨论了非线性离散动力系统完整动力学，包括其不动点和混沌的阴阳解。本书还系统地讨论了具有搬运跳跃律的切换系统稳定性，将其作为描述连续和离散混合系统最一般的形式；并介绍了一种广义的符号动力学——映射动力学，通过此动力学讨论在边界不连续动力系统的擦边分叉以及奇异吸引子碎裂机理，以帮助读者更好地理解离散、切换不连续和边界不连续动力系统中的规则性和复杂性。
　　本书可作为应用数学、物理、工程学、经济动力学和金融专业大学生的教材或参考书，也可供这些领域的教授和研究人员参考。
