BIC Classification: GPFC; PBW; PHS. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 241 x 166 x 33. Weight in Grams: 892.
The essential points of this ?rst chapter are • The de?nition of a complex system • The notion of emergence • The de?nition of a model • The notion of dynamical system This book is about the dynamics of complex systems. Roughly speaking, a system is a collection of interacting elements making up a whole such as, for instance, a mechanical clock. While many systems may be quite complicated, they are not necessarily considered to be complex. Today, most authors agree on the essential properties a system has to possess to be called complex. The ?rst section is devoted to ... Read more

Reviews for Modeling Complex Systems
From the reviews of the second edition: “Boccara’s approach is firmly based on dynamical systems theory, differential equations, and maps, with a very solid mathematical treatment, cast at times in terms of definitions and theorems. … The book is very well suited for graduate or advanced undergraduate studies and comes with a problem and solution section at the end ...
