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.
