The theory of multivalued maps and the theory of differential inclusions are closely connected and intensively developing branches of contemporary mathematics. They have effective and interesting applications in control theory, optimization, calculus of variations, non-smooth and convex analysis, game theory, mathematical economics and in other fields. This book presents a user-friendly and self-contained introduction to both subjects. It is aimed at 'beginners', starting with students of senior courses. The book will be useful both for readers whose interests lie in the sphere of pure mathematics, as well as for those who are involved in applicable aspects of the theory. In Chapter 0, basic definitions and fundamental results in topology are collected. Chapter 1 begins with examples showing how naturally the idea of a multivalued map arises in diverse areas of mathematics, continues with the description of a variety of properties of multivalued maps and finishes with measurable multivalued functions. Chapter 2 is devoted to the theory of fixed points of multivalued maps. The whole of Chapter 3 focuses on the study of differential inclusions and their applications in control theory. The subject of last Chapter 4 is the applications in dynamical systems, game theory, and mathematical economics. The book is completed with the bibliographic commentaries and additions containing the exposition related both to the sections described in the book and to those which left outside its framework. The extensive bibliography (including more than 400 items) leads from basic works to recent studies.

The book aims to present a comprehensive survey on biharmonic submanifolds and maps from the viewpoint of Riemannian geometry. It provides some basic knowledge and tools used in the study of the subject as well as an overall picture of the development of the subject with most up-to-date important results. Biharmonic submanifolds are submanifolds whose isometric immersions are biharmonic maps, thus biharmonic submanifolds include minimal submanifolds as a subclass. Biharmonic submanifolds also appeared in the study of finite type submanifolds in Euclidean spaces. Biharmonic maps are maps between Riemannian manifolds that are critical points of the bienergy. They are generalizations of harmonic maps and biharmonic functions which have many important applications and interesting links to many areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Since 2000, biharmonic submanifolds and maps have become a vibrant research field with a growing number of researchers around the world, with many interesting results have been obtained. This book containing basic knowledge, tools for some fundamental problems and a comprehensive survey on the study of biharmonic submanifolds and maps will be greatly beneficial for graduate students and beginning researchers who want to study the subject, as well as researchers who have already been working in the field.

Volume II is the second part of the 3-volume book Mathematics of Harmony as a New Interdisciplinary Direction and 'Golden' Paradigm of Modern Science. 'Mathematics of Harmony' rises in its origin to the 'harmonic ideas' of Pythagoras, Plato and Euclid, this 3-volume book aims to promote more deep understanding of ancient conception of the 'Universe Harmony,' the main conception of ancient Greek science, and implementation of this conception to modern science and education.This 3-volume book is a result of the authors' research in the field of Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Section and their applications. It provides a broad introduction to the fascinating and beautiful subject of the 'Mathematics of Harmony,' a new interdisciplinary direction of modern science. This direction has many unexpected applications in contemporary mathematics (a new approach to a history of mathematics, the generalized Fibonacci numbers and the generalized golden proportions, the generalized Binet's formulas), theoretical physics (new hyperbolic models of Nature) and computer science (algorithmic measurement theory, number systems with irrational bases, Fibonacci computers, ternary mirror-symmetrical arithmetic).The books are intended for a wide audience including mathematics teachers of high schools, students of colleges and universities and scientists in the field of mathematics, theoretical physics and computer science. The book may be used as an advanced textbook by graduate students and even ambitious undergraduates in mathematics and computer science.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Foundations of the Constructive (Algorithmic) Measurement Theory</li><li>Principle of Asymmetry of Measurement and Fibonacci Algorithms of Measurement</li><li>Evolution of Numeral Systems</li><li>Bergman's System and 'Golden' Number Theory</li><li>The 'Golden' Ternary Mirror-Symmetrical Arithmetic</li><li>Fibonacci <i>p</i>-Codes and Fibonacci Arithmetic for Mission-Critical Applications</li><li>Codes of the Golden <i>p</i>-Proportions</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> High school, college and university students, teachers, professionals, scientists and investors interested in history of mathematics, Fibonacci numbers, golden section and their generalization.Babylonian Numeral System;Golden Section;Platonic Solids;Pythagoreanism And Pythagorean Mathem's;Classical Mathematics;Mathematics of Harmony;“Golden” Paradigm;Fibonacci Numbers;Philosophy0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>In the world literature there is only one book, devoted to the «Mathematics of Harmony»</li><li>Scornful attitude towards the «school» and applied arithmetic and its problems</li><li>Can serve as the explanation of the fact why in the number theory attention was not given to numeral systems</li><li>The great interest was again shown to the methods of the representation of numbers and new computer arithmetic</li><li>The ternary computer «Setun», designed by the Russian engineer Nikolay Brousentsov on the basis of the ternary system, was the brightest example</li><li>Mathematics again returned to the period of its origin, when the numeral systems were as one of the main subjects of the ancient mathematics</li></ul>

En el norte del Cauca (Colombia), en torno a la finca tradicional afrocaucana, han emergido formas de organización local que ofrecen alternativas contrahegemónicas al deterioro laboral, social y ambiental de su espacio geográfico. Este es un territorio de acción, donde se gestan iniciativas populares desde abajo y se fomentan la seguridad socioeconómica y la sostenibilidad ambiental. Territorio en movimiento(s) muestra el potencial emancipatorio de las organizaciones sociales, el ideal de la justicia cognitiva y la democracia epistémica en este territorio, donde impera el monocultivo de caña de azúcar. De esta manera, responde a la necesidad de visibilizar la presencia de otras nociones de territorio, a través de la identificación de prácticas tradicionales y saberes emergentes, que buscan el mejoramiento de la condición humana en el marco de la esperanza y el reconocimiento de un futuro más justo y decente para el mundo.
