Autosolitons Autosolitons B. S. Kerner This monograph is devoted to an entirely new branch of nonlinear physics - solitary intrinsic states, or autosolitons, which form in a broad class of physical, chemical and biological dissipative sys… OL19829409W
Design and control of self-organizing systems Design and control of self-organizing systems Carlos Gershenson Complex systems are usually difficult to design and control. There are several particular methods for coping with complexity, but there is no general approach to build complex systems. In this book I… OL19841343W
