Emergence Of Dynamical Order: Synchronization Phenomena In Complex Systems

ISBN: 9789812388032 出版年：2004 页码：359 Susanna C Manrubia Alexander S Mikhailov World Scientific Publishing Company

Synchronization processes bring about dynamical order and lead to spontaneous development of structural organization in complex systems of various origins, from chemical oscillators and biological cells to human societies and the brain. This book provides a review and a detailed theoretical analysis of synchronization phenomena in complex systems with different architectures, composed of elements with periodic or chaotic individual dynamics. Special attention is paid to statistical concepts, such as nonequilibrium phase transitions, order parameters and dynamical glasses.
