"Several of the world's leading anthropologists have drawn upon particular elements of chaos theory for their inspiration, but as yet, there is no focused and comprehensive treatment of the applicability of chaos theory to anthropology's distinctive ethnographic and cross-cultur…
Over the past two decades, "chaos theory" - the perception of order previously hidden in phenomena of apparent randomness and disorder - has fundamentally transformed the natural sciences. In recent years, numerous scholars in the social sciences and humanities have attempted to…
This is the second volume in a series intended to give clear expositions of the applications of the new techniques developed to understand nonlinear phenomena in the life sciences. The first paper by West, Mackey and Chen is methodological in nature and reviews how to distinguis…
Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems
The paradigm of deterministic chaos has influenced thinking in many fields of science. Chaotic systems show rich and surprising mathematical structures. In the applied sciences, deterministic chaos provides a striking explanation for irregular behaviour and anomalies in systems …
In this book the author presents the dynamical systems in infinite dimension, especially those generated by dissipative partial differential equations. This book attempts a systematic study of infinite dimensional dynamical systems generated by dissipative evolution partial diff…
"This book presents dynamical systems in the infinite dimension, especially those generated by dissipative partial differential equations. This includes nonlinear parabolic equations such as reaction diffusion equations and Navier-Stokes equations; pattern formation equations su…
Drawing upon a collection of research articles from celebrated authors in the field of control theory and its applications, this Festschrift honours the work of Professor Shinji Hara, and lays a solid foundation towards the 'glocal control' theory.
