Chaos Bound
Orderly Disorder in Contemporary Literature and Science
Language: English
Release Date: March 15, 2018
N. Katherine Hayles here investigates parallels between contemporary literature and critical theory and the science of chaos. She finds in both scientific and literary discourse new interpretations of chaos, which is seen no longer as disorder but as a locus of maximum information and complexity....

The slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large cell visible by the unaided eye. It behaves as an intelligent nonlinear spatially extended active medium encapsulated in an elastic membrane. The cell optimises its growth patterns in configurations of attractants and repellents. This behaviour is interpreted...

Is humanity out of time on Earth as Stephen Hawkins suggests? Or is global warming just a one-time speed bump in the road for mankind?
Either way, the climate is warming. But is man singularly responsible for this? Are there other contributing forces? Understanding Global Warming will explore...

A periodically forced mathematical pendulum is one of the typical and popular nonlinear oscillators that possess complex and rich dynamical behaviors. Although the pendulum is one of the simplest nonlinear oscillators, yet, until now, we are still not able to undertake a systematical study of periodic...
Viscoelastic Interfaces Driven in Disordered Media
Applications to Friction
Language: English
Release Date: July 9, 2015
This book offers an in-depth study of two well-known models of “avalanche” dynamics, modified minimally by the inclusion of relaxation. Many complex systems respond to continuous inputs of energy by accumulation of stress over time, interrupted by sudden energy releases called avalanches. The...

Release Date: December 30, 2014
This monograph develops chaos theory from properties of the graphs inverse to the parabolic map of the interval [0, 2], where the height at the midpoint x = 1 may be viewed as a time-like parameter, which together with the x-coordinate, provide the two parameters that uniquely characterize the parabola,...

Nature's Longest Threads
New Frontiers in the Mathematics and Physics of Information in Biology
Language: English
Release Date: July 11, 2014
Organisms endowed with life show a sense of awareness, interacting with and learning from the universe in and around them. Each level of interaction involves transfer of information of various kinds, and at different levels. Each thread of information is interlinked with the other, and woven together,...
