Edgardo Ugalde – författare

* Portions of the book were published in an article that won the title "month's new hot paper in the field of Mathematics" in May 2004* Rigorous mathematical theory is combined with important physical applications* Presents rules for immediate action to study mathematical models of real systems* Contains standard theorems of dynamical systems theory

This book, along with its companion volume, Nonlinear Dynamics New Directions: Theoretical Aspects, covers topics ranging from fractal analysis to very specific applications of the theory of dynamical systems to biology. This second volume contains mostly new applications of the theory of dynamical systems to both engineering and biology. The first volume is devoted to fundamental aspects and includes a number of important new contributions as well as some review articles that emphasize new development prospects. The topics addressed in the two volumes include a rigorous treatment of fluctuations in dynamical systems, topics in fractal analysis, studies of the transient dynamics in biological networks, synchronization in lasers, and control of chaotic systems, among others.

This book also:

· Develops applications of nonlinear dynamics on a diversity of topics such as patterns of synchrony in neuronal networks, laser synchronization, control of chaotic systems, and the study of transient dynamics in biological

· Includes a study of self-organized regularity in long-range systems

· Explains use of Levenstein''s distance for measuring lexical evolution rates
