From Hamiltonian Chaos to Complex Systems: A Nonlinear Physics Approach [Hardcover]

From Hamiltonian Chaos to Complex Systems: A Nonlinear Physics Approach collects contributions on recent developments in non-linear dynamics and statistical physics with an emphasis on complex systems. This book provides a wide range of state-of-the-art research in these fields. The unifying aspect of this book is demonstration of how similar tools coming from dynamical systems, nonlinear physics, and statistical dynamics can lead to a large panorama of? research in various fields of physics and beyond, most notably with the perspective of application in complex systems.

This book reviews progress in non-linear dynamics and statistical physics with an emphasis on complex systems, showing how tools developed for dynamical systems, nonlinear physics and statistical dynamics can open a panorama of?research in physics and beyond.Describing Plasma dynamics with finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems.- Some experiments with soap films and soap bubbles.- Transport properties in a model of supersolid.- Directed transport in a spatially periodic potential under periodic non-biased forcing.- Nonlinear propagation of a driven electron plasma wave and self-organization of stimulated Raman scattering.- Stochastic patterns formation and diffusion.- Propagation of information on undirected dependency graphs and related inverse problem for road traffic inference.- Stochastic solutions of nonlinear pde's: McKean versus superprocesses.- Challenges and Recent Advances in Heat Transport Modelling for ITER.- Front propagation manifolds in advection-reaction-diffusion processes.- Stress defocusing in elastic sheets by anisotropic compaction.- Weak chaos, infinite ergodic theory, and anomalous diffusion.- Finite time dynamics.-
