Journal of Difference Equations and Applications presents state-of-the-art papers on difference equations and discrete dynamical systems and the academic, pure and applied problems in which they arise. The Journal is composed of original research, expository and review articles, and papers that present novel concepts in application and techniques.The scope of the Journal includes all areas in mathematics that contain significant theory or applications in difference equations or discrete dynamical systems. Topics include iteration theory, chaos theory, complex dynamics, mathematical biology, control theory, stability theory, dynamic equations on time scales, boundary value problems, symmetries and integrable systems, q-difference equations, ergodic theory, numerical analysis, difference-differential equations, computational linear algebra, combinatorics, evolutionary game theory and other fields at the Editors' discretion.The Journal also welcomes the submission of open problems, book reviews, short notes and conjectures. 2009 5-year Impact Factor: 0.836169; 2010 Thomson Reuters, 2009 Journal Citation Reports174;All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

nternational Press of Boston, Inc. is an academic publishing company founded in 1992. After eighteen years of growth, International Press now publishes fifteen journals in various fields of academic mathematics research, including a prestigious journal of statistics. International Press also publishes high-level mathematics and mathematical physics book titles, including monographs, textbooks, and more.International Press enjoys a productive partnership with the American Mathematical Society, with whom we have co-published the AMS/IP Studies in Advanced Mathematics book series since 1997.Having close ties to the Chinese mathematics community, International Press has also developed a close partnership with Higher Education Press of Beijing—the leading Chinese curriculum planner, and publisher and distributor of academic books—as well as with the Chinese publishers Tsinghua University Press, Hunan Science and Technology Press, and others. .

Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems examines the entire spectrum of issues related to dynamical systems, focusing on the theory of smooth dynamical systems with analyses of measure-theoretical, topological, and bifurcational aspects. It covers all essential branches of the theory--local, semilocal, and global--including the theory of foliations. The journal also features in-depth papers devoted to control systems research that spotlight the geometric control theory, which unifies Lie-algebraic and differential-geometric methods of investigation in control and optimization, and ultimately relates to the general theory of dynamical systems. Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems presents peer-reviewed survey and original research articles. Accessible to a broad range of scholars, each survey paper contains all necessary definitions and explanations, a complete over-view of the problem discussed, and a description of its importance and relationship to basic research on the subject.
