Dynamics and Stochastic Processes Theory and Applications

Ricardo Lima, Ludwig Streit, Rui Vilela Mendes3540523472, 9783540523475

The contributions to this volume review the mathematical description of complex phenomena from both a deterministic and stochastic point of view. The interface between theoretical models and the understanding of complexity in engineering, physics and chemistry is explored. The reader will find information on neural networks, chemical dissipation, fractal diffusion, problems in accelerator and fusion physics, pattern formation and self-organisation, control problems in regions of insta- bility, and mathematical modeling in biology.
