Complex Nonlinearity: Chaos, Phase Transitions, Topology Change and Path Integrals is a book about prediction & control of general nonlinear and chaotic dynamics of high-dimensional complex systems of various physical and non-physical nature and their underpinning geometro-topological change.
Organic Computing is a research field emerging around the conviction that problems of organization in complex systems in computer science, telecommunications, neurobiology, molecular biology, ethology, and possibly even sociology can be tackled scientifically in a unified way.
This second edition offers a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art chapters on continuum mechanics, covering topics such as the constitutive theory of magnetoelastic solids, solids with evolving reference configurations, second-gradient solids, and biological tissues.
