Synopsis

Complex Systems are natural systems that science is unable to describe exhaustively. Examples of Complex Systems are both unicellular and multicellular living beings; human brains; human immune systems; ecosystems; human societies; the global economy; the climate and geology of our planet. This book is an account of a marvelous interdisciplinary journey the author made to understand properties of the Complex Systems. He has undertaken his trip, equipped with the fundamental principles of physical chemistry, in particular, the Second Law of Thermodynamics that describes the spontaneous evolution of our universe, and the tools of Non-linear dynamics. By dealing with many disciplines, in particular, chemistry, biology, physics, economy, and philosophy, the author demonstrates that Complex Systems are intertwined networks, working in out-of-equilibrium conditions, which exhibit emergent properties, such as self-organization phenomena and chaotic behaviors in time and space.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Pier Luigi Gentili is Ph.D. in Chemistry. His research and teaching activities are focused on Complex Systems. He is trusting in Natural Computing as an effective strategy to understand Complex Systems and face the Computational Complexity Challenges. In particular, he is developing the innovative Chemical Artificial Intelligence. He has several collaborations and work experience in many laboratories. For instance, the "Photochemistry and Photophysics Group" of the University of Perugia (Italy); the "Nonlinear Dynamics Group" of the Brandeis University (USA); the "European Laboratory of Nonlinear Spectroscopy" in Florence (Italy); the "Center for Photochemical Sciences" of the Bowling Green State University (USA); the "Laboratory of Computational Chemistry and Photochemistry" of University of Siena (Italy).

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This book presents the new challenges that the science of the twentieth century is facing. A distinctive feature of this book is the description of Fuzzy Logic as a powerful method to understand and control complex systems. It also presents the different kinds of logic that can be processed by using molecules as computing elements.
