Diversity and Complexity
Av Scott Page
Häftad, 2010
289 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book provides an introduction to the role of diversity in complex adaptive systems. A complex system--such as an economy or a tropical ecosystem--consists of interacting adaptive entities that produce dynamic patterns and structures. Diversity plays a different role in a complex system than it …
Ant Encounters
Interaction Networks and Colony Behavior
Häftad, 2010
306 kr
Lägg i varukorg
How do ant colonies get anything done, when no one is in charge? An ant colony operates without a central control or hierarchy, and no ant directs another. Instead, ants decide what to do based on the rate, rhythm, and pattern of individual encounters and interactions--resulting in a dynamic …
Spin Glasses and Complexity

Spin glasses are disordered magnetic systems that have led to the development of mathematical tools with an array of real-world applications, from airline scheduling to neural networks. Spin Glasses and Complexity offers the most concise, engaging, and accessible introduction to the subject, fully …
Phase Transitions
Av Ricard Solé
Häftad, 2011
460 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system--have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes into a solid or boils to become a gas. How might phase transitions shed light on important problems in biological and ecological complex …
Viruses as Complex Adaptive Systems
Av Ricard Solé, Santiago F. Elena
Häftad, 2018
383 kr
Lägg i varukorg
How complex systems theory sheds new light on the adaptive dynamics of viral populationsViruses are everywhere, infecting all sorts of living organisms, from the tiniest bacteria to the largest mammals. Many are harmful parasites, but viruses also play a major role as drivers of our evolution as a …
Chaos and Dynamical Systems
Häftad, 2019
358 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Chaos and Dynamical Systems presents an accessible, clear introduction to dynamical systems and chaos theory, important and exciting areas that have shaped many scientific fields. While the rules governing dynamical systems are well-specified and simple, the behavior of many dynamical systems is …
Natural Complexity
A Modeling Handbook
Häftad, 2017
546 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book provides a short, hands-on introduction to the science of complexity using simple computational models of natural complex systems--with models and exercises drawn from physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. By working through the models and engaging in additional computational …
