Nonlinear Dynamics and Complexity

This book collects a range of contributions on nonlinear dynamics and complexity, providing a systematic summary of recent developments, applications, and overall advances in nonlinearity, chaos, and complexity. It presents both theories and techniques in nonlinear systems and complexity and serves as a basis for more research on synchronization and complexity in nonlinear science as well as a mechanism to fast-scatter the new knowledge to scientists, engineers, and students in the corresponding fields. Written by world-renown experts from across the globe, the collection is ideal for researchers, practicing engineers, and students concerned with machinery and controls, manufacturing, and controls.Illustrates methods for finding chaos from periodic motions;Includes applications to nonlinear physics and nonlinear engineering;Maximizes understanding of differential-invariant solutions, impulsive differential equations, chaos, and order.
