Dynamics of Dissipation
P. Garbaczewski
Hardcover - $264.95
This collection of lectures treats the dynamics of open systems with a strong emphasis on dissipation phenomena related to dynamical chaos. This research area is very broad, covering topics such as nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, environment-sy ...
Chaos, Scattering and Statistical Mechanics
Pierre Gaspard
Paperback - $170.95
This book describes recent advances in the application of chaos theory to classical scattering and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics generally, and to transport by deterministic diffusion in particular. The author presents the basic tools of dynam ...
Worldviews, Science and Us : Philosophy and Complexity
Carlos Gershenson
Hardcover - $193.95
Scientific, technological, and cultural changes have always had an impact upon philosophy. They can force a change in the way we perceive the world, reveal new kinds of phenomena to be understood, and provide new ways of understanding phenomena. Comp ...
Pattern Formation in Continuous and Coupled Systems : A Survey Volume
Martin Golubitsky
Hardcover - $210.95
The Impact of Chaos on Science and Society
Celso Grebogi
Paperback - $60.95
In the past decade there has been an explosion of interest in chaotic dynamics. Prompted by the growing body of knowledge about chaotic behavior in an increasing number of scientific disciplines, this volume brings together a distinguished group of e ...
Deep Simplicity : Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity
John R. Gribbin
Hardcover - $39.95
Why do traffic jams seem to happen for no apparent reason? Can major earthquakes be predicted? Why does the stock market have its ups and downs? How do species evolve? Where do galaxies come from? What is the origin of life on Earth? "What if all the ...
Nonlinear Oscillations, Dynamical Systems, and Bifurcations of Vector Fields
John Guckenheimer
Hardcover - $138.95
From the reviews: "This book is concerned with the application of methods from dynamical systems and bifurcation theories to the study of nonlinear oscillations. Chapter 1 provides a review of basic results in the theory of dynamical systems, coverin ...
Quantum Signatures of Chaos
Fritz Haake
Hardcover - $220.95
This textbook provides an excellent introduction to a new and rapidly developing field of research. The topics treated include a detailed exploration of the quantum aspects of nonlinear dynamics, quantum criteria to distinguish regular and irregular ...
Chaos Near Resonance
Gyorgy Haller
Hardcover - $208.95
Resonances are ubiquitous in dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom. They have the basic effect of introducing slow-fast behavior in an evolutionary system which, coupled with instabilities, can result in highly irregular behavior. This book ...
