William L. Ditto, K. Murali, Sudeshna Sinha (auth.), Visarath In, Patrick Longhini, Antonio Palacios (eds.)3540856315, 9783540856313

This edited book is aimed at interdisciplinary, device-oriented, applications of nonlinear science theory and methods in complex systems. In particular, applications directed to nonlinear phenomena with space and time characteristics. Examples include: complex networks of magnetic sensor systems, coupled nano-mechanical oscillators, nano-detectors, microscale devices, stochastic resonance in multi-dimensional chaotic systems, biosensors, and stochastic signal quantization. “applications of nonlinear dynamics: model and design of complex systems” brings together the work of scientists and engineers that are applying ideas and methods from nonlinear dynamics to design and fabricate complex systems.
