Synopsis

If we try to describe real world in mathematical terms, we will see that real life is very often a high–dimensional chaos. Sometimes, by ‘pushing hard’, we manage to make order out of it; yet sometimes, we need simply to accept our life as it is. To be able to still live successfully, we need tounderstand, predict, and ultimately control this high–dimensional chaotic dynamics of life. This is the main theme of the present book. In our previous book, Geometrical - namics of Complex Systems, Vol. 31 in Springer book series Microprocessor– Based and Intelligent Systems Engineering, we developed the most powerful mathematical machinery to deal with high–dimensional nonlinear dynamics. In the present text, we consider the extreme cases of nonlinear dynamics, the high–dimensional chaotic and other attractor systems. Although they might look as examples of complete disorder – they still represent control systems, with their inputs, outputs, states, feedbacks, and stability. Today, we can see a number of nice books devoted to nonlinear dyn- ics and chaos theory (see our reference list). However, all these books are only undergraduate, introductory texts, that are concerned exclusively with oversimpli?ed low–dimensional chaos, thus providing only an inspiration for the readers to actually throw themselves into the real–life chaotic dynamics.

About this title

Review

From the reviews:

"This is an ambitious book that ... is devoted to the understanding, prediction and control of high-dimensional chaotic and attractor systems in real life. ... Finally, and most usefully, the book has a substantial list of references (over 30 pages of them), meaning that the book can be used as a guide to literature in a diverse range of topics related to high- (and indeed low-) dimensional chaotic and nonlinear systems." (Peter Ashwin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 h)

Synopsis

This is a graduate-level monographic textbook devoted to understanding, prediction and control of high-dimensional chaotic and attractor systems of real life. The objective of the book is to provide the serious reader with a serious scientific tool that will enable the actual performance of competitive research in high-dimensional chaotic and attractor dynamics. The book has nine Chapters. The first Chapter gives a textbook-like introduction into the low-dimensional attractors and chaos. This Chapter has an inspirational character, similar to other books on nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos. The second Chapter deals with Smale's topological transformations of stretching, squeezing and folding (of the system's phase-space), developed for the purpose of chaos theory. The third Chapter is devoted to Poincare's 3-body problem and basic techniques of chaos control, mostly of Ott-Grebogi-Yorke type. The fourth Chapter is a review of both Landau's and topological phase transition theory, as well as Haken's synergetics. The fifth Chapter deals with phase synchronization in high-dimensional chaotic systems.

The sixth Chapter presents high-tech Josephson junctions, the basic components for the future quantum computers. The seventh Chapter deals with fractals and fractional Hamiltonian dynamics. The 8th Chapter gives a review of modern techniques for dealing with turbulence, ranging from the parameter'space of the Lorenz attractor to the Lie symmetries. The last, 9th, Chapter attempts to give a brief on the cutting edge techniques of the high-dimensional nonlinear dynamics (including geometries, gauges and solitons, culminating into the chaos field theory).
