Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, and Complexity: In Memory of Professor Valentin Afraimovich (Nonlinear Physical Science) - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Dr. Dimitri Volchenkov obtained his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in the Saint Petersburg State University (Russia) and habilitated in the CNRS Centre de Physique Theorique (Marseille, France). He is the Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the Texas Tech University (USA) and Professor of Risk Assessment and Data Science at the Sichuan University of Science and Engineering (China). His research interests are the science of complexity and interdisciplinary physics ranging from the stochastic nonlinear dynamics, to plasma turbulence, to urban spatial networks, and their impact on poverty and environments, analysis of complex networks, data analysis of economic, inequality and politics data, big data analytics, survival analysis, and modelling of evolutionary biology and ecology.

De la contraportada

This book demonstrates how mathematical methods and techniques can be used in synergy and create a new way of looking at complex systems. It becomes clear nowadays that the standard (graph-based) network approach, in which observable events and transportation hubs are represented by nodes and relations between them are represented by edges, fails to describe the important properties of complex systems, capture the dependence between their scales, and anticipate their future developments. Therefore, authors in this book discuss the new generalized theories capable to describe a complex nexus of dependences in multi-level complex systems and to effectively engineer their important functions.

The book can be read by mathematicians, physicists, complex systems scientists, IT specialists, civil engineers, data scientists, urban planners, and even musicians (with some mathematical background).
