Chaotic Transitions in Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamical Systems: Applications of Melnikov Processes in Engineering, Physics, and Neuroscience (Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics, 26)

"Highly readable, elegant, and concise... Emil Simiu has succeeded in putting together a highly stimulating book that proposes a promising, unifying approach to various aspects of chaos theory. While encompassing a wide swath of topics, traditionally found only on scattered sources, the book is succinctly written, exhibiting a quality reserved to the best of review works."--Daniel ben-Avraham, Journal of Statistical Physics
