  • Stochastic Foundations in Movement Ecology

    Anomalous Diffusion, Front Propagation and Random Searches

    by Vicenç Méndez, Daniel Campos, Frederic Bartumeus ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents the fundamental theory for non-standard diffusion problems in movement ecology. Lévy processes and anomalous diffusion have shown to be both powerful and useful tools for qualitatively and quantitatively describing a wide variety of spatial population ecological phenomena and dynamics, such as invasion fronts and search strategies.Adopting a self-contained, textbook-style ...

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    by Philip Ball ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

  • The Seneca Effect

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    by Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... Read more

  • Dynamic Systems for Everyone

    Understanding How Our World Works

    by Asish Ghosh ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book is a study of the interactions between different types of systems, their environment, and their subsystems. The author explains how basic systems principles are applied in engineered (mechanical, electromechanical, etc.) systems and then guides the reader to understand how the same principles can be applied to social, political, economic systems, as well as in everyday life. Readers from ... Read more

  • Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks

    Edited by Andreas Pyka, Petra Ahrweiler, Nigel Gilbert ...
    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    The competitiveness of firms, regions and countries greatly depends on the generation, dissemination and application of new knowledge. Modern innovation research is challenged by the need to incorporate knowledge generation and dissemination processes into the analysis so as to disentangle the complexity of these dynamic processes. With innovation, however, strong uncertainty, nonlinearities and ... Read more

  • Complexity Theories of Cities Have Come of Age

    An Overview with Implications to Urban Planning and Design

    Edited by Juval Portugali, Han Meyer, Egbert Stolk, Ekim Tan ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge, desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations, mediated by the existing technologies and social structures. The city represents the accretion and accumulation of successive layers of collective activity, structuring and being structured by other, increasingly distant ... Read more

  • Conflict and Complexity

    Countering Terrorism, Insurgency, Ethnic and Regional Violence

    Edited by Yaneer Bar-Yam, Ali A. Minai, Philip Vos Fellman ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book follows the methodologies of complex adaptive systems research in their application to addressing the problems of terrorism, specifically terrorist networks, their structure and various methods of mapping and interdicting them as well as exploring the complex landscape of network-centric and irregular warfare. A variety of new models and approaches are presented here, including Dynamic ... Read more

  • Breakdown in Traffic Networks

    Fundamentals of Transportation Science

    by Boris S. Kerner ...
    This book offers a detailed investigation of breakdowns in traffic and transportation networks. It shows empirically that transitions from free flow to so-called synchronized flow, initiated by local disturbances at network bottlenecks, display a nucleation-type behavior: while small disturbances in free flow decay, larger ones grow further and lead to breakdowns at the bottlenecks. Further, it ... Read more

  • Survival under Uncertainty

    An Introduction to Probability Models of Social Structure and Evolution

    by Dimitri Volchenkov ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book introduces and studies a number of stochastic models of subsistence, communication, social evolution and political transition that will allow the reader to grasp the role of uncertainty as a fundamental property of our irreversible world. At the same time, it aims to bring about a more interdisciplinary and quantitative approach across very diverse fields of research in the humanities ... Read more

  • Econophysics and Data Driven Modelling of Market Dynamics

    Edited by Frédéric Abergel, Hideaki Aoyama, Bikas K. Chakrabarti, Anirban Chakraborti, Asim Ghosh ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents the works and research findings of physicists, economists, mathematicians, statisticians, and financial engineers who have undertaken data-driven modelling of market dynamics and other empirical studies in the field of Econophysics. During recent decades, the financial market landscape has changed dramatically with the deregulation of markets and the growing complexity of ... Read more

  • Emergent Nested Systems

    A Theory of Understanding and Influencing Complex Systems as well as Case Studies in Urban Systems

    by Christian Walloth ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents a theory as well as methods to understand and to purposively influence complex systems. It suggests a theory of complex systems as nested systems, i. e. systems that enclose other systems and that are simultaneously enclosed by even other systems. According to the theory presented, each enclosing system emerges through time from the generative activities of the systems they ... Read more

  • The Emerging Consensus in Social Systems Theory

    by Kenneth C. Bausch ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    In The Emerging Consensus of Social Systems Theory Bausch summarizes the works of over 30 major systemic theorists. He then goes on to show the converging areas of consensus among these out-standing thinkers.Bausch categorizes the social aspects of current systemic thinking as falling into five broadly thematic areas: designing social systems, the structure of the social world, communication, ...
