The foundations of chaos revisited: from Poincaré to recent advancements (Q261513)

The Nature we observe is a self-organizing dynamical system. It is filled with a multitude of particles and bodies. They participate in numerous movements and processes. Among them, a special role is played by chaos, both in nature and in society. This book examines the fundamentals of chaotic processes, from Poincaré's works to the achievements of modern researchers. It encompasses the foundations of fifteen directions for investigating chaotic processes. The chapters are: 1. Henri Poincaré's Inventions in Dynamical Systems and Topology; 2. From Nonlinear Oscillations to Chaos Theory; 3. Hydrodynamic Turbulence as a Nonstandard Transport Phenomenon; 4. Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Turbulence; 5. The Kolmogorov Law of Turbulence What. Can Rigorously Be Proved? Part II; 6. History of Chaos from a French Perspective; 7. Quasi-periodicity: Rotation Numbers; 8. Heat Transfer in a Complex Medium; 9. Plasma Hysteresis and Instability: A Memory Perspective; 10. Stochastic Anti-Resonance in Polarization Phenomena; 11. A Simple Plankton Model with Complex Behavior; 12. Chaos Theory, Fractals and Scaling in the Radar: A Look from 2015; 13. Simulation of Multidimensional Nonlinear Dynamics by One-Dimensional Maps with Many Parameters; 14. Sudden Cardiac Death and Turbulence; 15. Absolute Negative Mobility in a Ratchet Flow. More than 520 publications are quoted in the book.
