Dynamics of Hierarchical Systems: An Evolutionary Approach: 25 (Springer Series in Synergetics) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The main aim of these lectures is to tri gger the interest of the restless under- graduate student of physical, mathematical, engineering, or biological sciences in the new and exciting multidisciplinary area of the evolution of "large-scale" dynamical systems. This text grew out of a synthesis of rather heterogeneous mate- rial that I presented on various occasions and in different contexts. For example, from lectures given since 1972 to first- and final-year undergraduate and first- year graduate students at the School of Engineering of the University of Patras and from informal seminars offered to an international group of graduate and post- doctoral students and faculty members at the University of Stuttgart in the aca- demic year 1982-1983. Those who search for rigor or even formality in this book are bound to be rather disappointed. My intention is to start from "scratch" if possible, keeping the rea- soning heuristic and tied as closely as possible to physical intuition; I assume as prerequisites just basic knowledge of (classical) physics (at the level of the Berkeley series or the Feynman lectures), calculus, and some elements of probabil- ity theory. This does not mean that I intended to write an easy book, but rather to eliminate any difficulty for an eager reader who, in spite of incomplete for- malistic training, would like to become acquainted with the physical ideas and con- cepts underlying the evolution and dynamics of complex systems.

Leinen / Cloth. Condition: Gut. 397 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht bestoßen, insgesamt leicht vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Binding slightly bumped, overall slightly yellowed, otherwise good condition. - Dynamics of Hierarchical Systems considers primarily the dynamics of the mutual simulation of two self-organizing hierarchical systems. This is modeled in terms of strange attractors, a concept developed from basic elements of nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics, information and coding theory, and game theory (presented in separate chapters) via the ideas of hierarchy, complexity, bifurcation, stable steady states and stable limit cycles.
