  • Borrowed Knowledge: Chaos Theory and the Challenge of Learning across Disciplines

    Chaos Theory and the Challenge of Learning across Disciplines

    by Stephen H. Kellert ...
    What happens to scientific knowledge when researchers outside the natural sciences bring elements of the latest trend across disciplinary boundaries for their own purposes? Researchers in fields from anthropology to family therapy and traffic planning employ the concepts, methods, and results of chaos theory to harness the disciplinary prestige of the natural sciences, to motivate methodological ...

    Why Catastrophes Happen

    by Mark Buchanan ...
    Critically acclaimed science journalist, Mark Buchanan tells the fascinating story of the discovery that there is a natural structure of instability woven into the fabric of our world, which explains why catastrophes-- both natural and human-- happen.Scientists have recently discovered a new law of nature and its footprints are virtually everywhere-- in the spread of forest fires, mass extinctions ...

  • The Physics of Wall Street

    A Brief History of Predicting the Unpredictable

    by James Owen Weatherall ...
    A look inside the world of "quants" and how science can (and can't) predict financial markets: "Entertaining and enlightening" ( The New York Times).After the economic meltdown of 2008, Warren Buffett famously warned, "beware of geeks bearing formulas." But while many of the mathematicians and software engineers on Wall Street failed when their abstractions turned ugly in practice, a special breed ... Read more

  • 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

  • Self-Organization and Dissipative Structures

    Applications in the Physical and Social Sciences

    Edited by William C. Schieve, Peter M. Allen ...
    The contributions to this volume attempt to apply different aspects of Ilya Prigogine's Nobel-prize-winning work on dissipative structures to nonchemical systems as a way of linking the natural and social sciences. They address both the mathematical methods for description of pattern and form as they evolve in biological systems and the mechanisms of the evolution of social systems, containing ... Read more

  • Memorized Discrete Systems and Time-delay

    by Albert C. J. Luo ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book examines discrete dynamical systems with memory—nonlinear systems that exist extensively in biological organisms and financial and economic organizations, and time-delay systems that can be discretized into the memorized, discrete dynamical systems. It book further discusses stability and bifurcations of time-delay dynamical systems that can be investigated through memorized dynamical ... Read more

  • Analysis and Design of Markov Jump Systems with Complex Transition Probabilities

    by Yanzheng Zhu, Lixian Zhang, Ting Yang, Peng Shi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    The book addresses the control issues such as stability analysis, control synthesis and filter design of Markov jump systems with the above three types of TPs, and thus is mainly divided into three parts. Part I studies the Markov jump systems with partially unknown TPs. Different methodologies with different conservatism for the basic stability and stabilization problems are developed and ...

  • Modeling Nonlinear Problems in the Mechanics of Strings and Rods

    The Role of the Balance Laws

    by Oliver M. O'Reilly ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents theories of deformable elastic strings and rods and their application to broad classes of problems. Readers will gain insights into the formulation and analysis of models for mechanical and biological systems. Emphasis is placed on how the balance laws interplay with constitutive relations to form a set of governing equations. For certain classes of problems, it is shown how a ... Read more

  • Applications of Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics in Science and Engineering - Vol. 2

    Edited by Santo Banerjee, Lamberto Rondoni, Mala Mitra ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Chaos and nonlinear dynamics initially developed as a new emergent field with its foundation in physics and applied mathematics. The highly generic, interdisciplinary quality of the insights gained in the last few decades has spawned myriad applications in almost all branches of science and technology—and even well beyond. Wherever the quantitative modeling and analysis of complex, nonlinear ... Read more
