Deterministic Chaos: An Introduction. This item is unavailable.Deterministic Chaos: An Introduction

A new edition of this well-established monograph, this volume provides a comprehensive overview over the still fascinating field of chaos research. The authors include recent developments such as systems with restricted degrees of freedom but put also a strong emphasis on the mathematical foundations. Partly illustrated in color, this fourth edition features new sections from applied nonlinear science, like control of chaos, synchronisation of nonlinear systems, and turbulence, as well as recent theoretical concepts like strange nonchaotic attractors, on-off intermittency and spatio-temporal chaotic motion.

Heinz Georg Schuster is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Kiel in Germany. In 1971 he attained his doctorate and in 1976 he was appointed Professor at the University of Frankfurt am 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.

Wolfram Just is Lecturer for Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary/University of London. He held positions at different institutions, for instance Kyushu University Fukuoka/Japan, MPIPKS Dresden/Germany, and Chemnitz University of Technology/Germany. His current research interests are nonlinear dynamics of systems with many degrees of freedom and nonequilibrium statistical physics.
