Recenzii

“The author combines in the book theoretical elements with their applications, realizing an interesting work with potential practical applications in the domain of complex and adaptive dynamical systems. The book can be read without advanced knowledge in the domain and can be useful to researchers dealing with complex and adaptive dynamical systems.” (Gheorghe Tigan, zbMATH 1317.93001, 2015)

Notă biografică

Professor Claudius Gros currently holds a chair in theoretical physics at Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He completed his PhD in theoretical condensed-matter physics in 1988 at ETH in Zürich, Switzerland. Afterward, Prof. Gros served as the Chester-Davies fellow at Indiana University, US, before returning to Germany. His current research interests revolve around complex systems theory, including self-organized robotics and the physics of AI.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This primer offers readers an introduction to the central concepts that form our modern understanding of complex and emergent behavior, together with detailed coverage of accompanying mathematical methods. All calculations are presented step by step and are easy to follow.
This new fourth edition has been fully reorganized and includes new chapters, figures and exercises. The core aspects of modern complex system sciences are presented in the first chapters, covering network theory, dynamical systems, bifurcation and catastrophe theory, chaos and adaptive processes, together with the principle of self-organization in reaction-diffusion systems and social animals. Modern information theoretical principles are treated in further chapters, together with the concept of self-organized criticality, gene regulation networks, hypercycles and coevolutionary avalanches, synchronization phenomena, absorbing phase transitions and the cognitive system approach to the brain.
Technical course prerequisites are the standard mathematical tools for an advanced undergraduate course in the natural sciences or engineering. Each chapter includes exercises and suggestions for further reading, and the solutions to all exercises are provided in the last chapter.
From the reviews of previous editions:
This is a very interesting introductory book written for a broad audience of graduate students in natural sciences and engineering. It can be equally well used both for teac
hing and self-education. Very well structured and every topic is illustrated with simple and motivating examples. This is a true guidebook to the world of complex nonlinear phenomena. (Ilya Pavlyukevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1146, 2008) Claudius Gros’ Complex and Adaptive Dynamical Systems: A Primer is a welcome addition to the literature. A particular strength of the book is its emphasis on analytical techniques for studying complex systems. (David P. Feldman, Physics Today, July, 2009)
