The Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics provides a complete resource for researchers, students and lecturers with an interest in mathematical physics. It enables readers to access basic information on topics peripheral to their own areas, to provide a repository of the core information in the area that can be used to refresh the researcher''s own memory banks, and aid teachers in directing students to entries relevant to their course-work. The Encyclopedia does contain information that has been distilled, organised and presented as a complete reference tool to the user and a landmark to the body of knowledge that has accumulated in this domain. It also is a stimulus for new researchers working in mathematical physics or in areas using the methods originating from work in mathematical physics by providing them with focused high quality background information.Editorial Board: Jean-Pierre Françoise, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, FranceGregory L. Naber, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USATsou Sheung Tsun, University of Oxford, UKAlso available online via ScienceDirect (2006) – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy. For more information, pricing options and availability visit www.info.sciencedirect.com.- First comprehensive interdisciplinary coverage- Mathematical Physics explained to stimulate new developments and foster new applications of its methods to other fields- Written by an international group of experts- Contains several undergraduate-level introductory articles to facilitate acquisition of new expertis- Thematic index and extensive cross-referencing to provide easy access and quick search functionality- Also available online with active linking

Par sa nature pluridisciplinaire, ce livre s'adresse à un large public de mathématiciens, physiciens et ingénieurs s'intéressant aux aspects théoriques des phénomènes périodiques, de même qu'aux étudiants en sciences de la vie intéressés par les outils mathématiques de la modélisation. Les oscillations complexes mises en évidence dans les systèmes physiologiques s'analysent par des modèles. Cet ouvrage se propose de présenter et de développer les mathématiques nécessaires à leur compréhension. On présente en particulier les notions d'excitabilité, de bistabilité, de synchronisation et d'oscillations en salves dans le cadre de l'analyse qualitative.
