Dynamical Systems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783906980478)

Complex systems are pervasive in many areas of science integrated in our daily lives. Examples
include financial markets, highway transportation networks, telecommunication networks, world
and country economies, social networks, immunological systems, living organisms, computational
systems and electrical and mechanical structures. Complex systems are often composed of a large
number of interconnected and interacting entities, exhibiting much richer global scale dynamics
than the properties and behavior of individual entities. Complex systems are studied in many areas
of natural sciences, social sciences, engineering and mathematical sciences. This special issue
therefore intends to contribute towards the dissemination of the multifaceted concepts in accepted
use by the scientific community.
