Synopsis

Chaos, that is irregular dynamical behaviour, is ubiquituous in nature and occurs in a wide range of systems including lasers, fluids, etc., heart beats and brain waves. Before 1990 the emergence of chaos in a system was mostly considered as a nuisance because chaotic systems are hard to predict due to their sensitivity to small perturbations. After 1990 it became clear that this sensitive dependence offers the unique possibility to control these systems with a minimum of additional energy. This handbook provides a comprehensive up-to-date overview of the field. It starts with an introduction to chaos theory, and covers all known methods of chaos control from parametric feedback to neuronal networks. A large part of the handbook is devoted to applications which range from control of electronic circuits, the control of lasers and chemical plants up to "antichaos control" in biological systems which offers the possibility to avoid epileptic seizures.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Heinz Georg Schuster is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Kiel in Germany. In 1971 he received his doctorate and in 1976 he was appointed Professor at the University of Frankfurt/Main in Germany. He was a visiting professor at the Weizmann–Institute of Science in Israel and at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, USA. Professor Schuster works on the dynamical behaviour of complex adaptive systems and authored and coauthored several books in this field. His book "Deterministic Chaos" which was also published at Wiley–VCH, has been translated into five languages.
Eckehard Schöll received his M.Sc. in physics from the University of Tuebingen, Germany, and his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics from the University of Southampton, England. In 1989 he was appointed to a professorship in theoretical physics at the Technical University of Berlin, where he still teaches. His research interests are nonlinear dynamic systems, including nonlinear spatio–temporal dynamics, chaos, pattern formation, noise, and control. He authored and coauthored several books in his field.
Professor Schöll was awarded the "Champion in teaching" prize by the Technical University of Berlin in 1997 and a Visiting Professorship by the London Mathematical Society in 2004.
