6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

6G is currently under definition being often addressed from a plain telecommunications perspective as an evolutionary paradigm that represents an extension of 5G. Having as a horizon 2030 6G initiatives are being deployed across the globe to further ignite the development of 6G services. At its philosophical core 6G embodies the human in the loop principle. The research effort being developed towards 6G requires an interdisciplinary approach that ignites discussion across different key technological sectors ranging from communications up to services and business cases. The contributions of this book to research in the field concern an evolutionary and interdisciplinary design of 6G as a paradigm that can be addressed by working together four different computational areas: communications; satellites and navigation; sensing; services. The book is derived from initial brainstorming that was developed during the 11th CONASENSE Symposium held in October 2021 in fortiss Munich Germany. Several international experts contribute to an overview of 6G key challenges new networking trends and challenges to be overcome and advanced 6G services. The book starts with a perspective on 6G challenges and use-cases beyond the 2030 horizon to then continue to address the role of non-terrestrial networks and cognitive service-centric satellite networks in future 6G services. Still with focus on 6G adaptive networking the book continues with a debate on the need to integrate social awareness based on an interdisciplinary approach in network operations. Then specific examples of advanced services (quantum imaging and holography; localization of the Internet of remote things) are discussed. The book is therefore intended to assist in developing critical thinking to back up novel networking applications and services towards 6G. | 6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Many scientific and real-world problems that occur in science engineering and medicine can be represented in differential equations. There is a vital role for differential equations in studying the behavior of different types of real-world problems. Thus it becomes crucial to know the existence and uniqueness properties of differential equations and various methods of finding differential equation solutions in explicit form. It is also essential to know different kinds of differential equations in terms of eigenvalues termed eigenvalue problems and some special functions used in finding the solution to differential equations. The study of nonlinear problems also plays a significant role in different real-world situations. There is a necessity to know the behavior of solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Still there are very few forms of differential equations whose solution can be found in explicit form. For the differential equations whose solutions cannot be found in explicit form one has to study the properties of solutions of the given differential equation to guess an approximate solution of it. This book aims to introduce all the necessary topics of differential equations in one book so that laymen can easily understand the subject and apply it in their research areas. The novel approach used in this book is the introduction of different analytical methods for finding the solution of differential equations with sufficient theorems corollaries and examples and the geometrical interpretations in each topic. This textbook is intended to study the theory and methods of finding the explicit solutions to differential equations wherever possible and in the absence of finding explicit solutions it is intended to study the properties of solutions to the given differential equations. This book is based on syllabi of the theory of differential equations prescribed for postgraduate students of mathematics and applied mathematics in different institutions and universities of India and abroad. This book will be helpful for competitive examinations as well. | Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach
