Self-Organized Criticality
Emergent Complex Behavior in Physical and Biological Systems
Language: English
Release Date: January 13, 1998
Self-organized criticality (SOC) is based upon the idea that complex behavior can develop spontaneously in certain multi-body systems whose dynamics vary abruptly. This book is a clear and concise introduction to the field of self-organized criticality, and contains an overview of the main research...
