TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a numerical method for the stability analysis of linear delayed systems based on a special kind of discretization technique with respect to the past effect only.
Abstract: SUMMARY The paper presents an ecient numerical method for the stability analysis of linear delayed systems. The method is based on a special kind of discretization technique with respect to the past eect only. The resulting approximate system is delayed and also time periodic, but still, it can be transformed analytically into a high-dimensional linear discrete system. The method is applied to determine the stability charts of the Mathieu equation with continuous time delay. Copyright ? 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: In this paper, an updated version of the semi-discretization method is presented for periodic systems with a single discrete time delay, where the delayed term is approximated as a weighted sum of two neighboring discrete delayed state values and the transition matrix over a single period is determined.
Abstract: An updated version of the semi-discretization method is presented for periodic systems with a single discrete time delay. The delayed term is approximated as a weighted sum of two neighbouring discrete delayed state values and the transition matrix over a single period is determined. Stability charts are constructed for the damped and delayed Mathieu equation for different time-period/time-delay ratios. The convergence of the method is investigated by examples. Stability charts are constructed for 1 and 2 degree of freedom milling models. The codes of the algorithm are also attached in the appendix. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: To the best of our knowledge, there is only one application of mathematical modelling to face recognition as mentioned in this paper, and it is a face recognition problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has attracted the attention of some fine minds.
Abstract: to be done in this area. Face recognition is a problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has involved a wide range of techniques and has attracted the attention of some fine minds (David Mumford was a Fields Medallist in 1974). This singular application of mathematical modelling to a messy applied problem of obvious utility and importance but with no unique solution is a pretty one to share with students: perhaps, returning to the source of our opening quotation, we may invert Duncan's earlier observation, 'There is an art to find the mind's construction in the face!'.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore questions of existence and uniqueness for solutions to stochastic differential equations and offer a study of their properties, using diffusion processes as a model of a Markov process with continuous sample paths.
Abstract: We explore in this chapter questions of existence and uniqueness for solutions to stochastic differential equations and offer a study of their properties. This endeavor is really a study of diffusion processes. Loosely speaking, the term diffusion is attributed to a Markov process which has continuous sample paths and can be characterized in terms of its infinitesimal generator.
