  • Understanding Complex Urban Systems

    Integrating Multidisciplinary Data in Urban Models

    Edited by Christian Walloth, Ernst Gebetsroither-Geringer, Funda Atun, Liss C. Werner ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book is devoted to the modeling and understanding of complex urban systems. This second volume of Understanding Complex Urban Systems focuses on the challenges of the modeling tools, concerning, e.g., the quality and quantity of data and the selection of an appropriate modeling approach. It is meant to support urban decision-makers—including municipal politicians, spatial planners, and ... Read more

  • The Seneca Effect

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    by Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... Read more

  • Book of Extremes

    Why the 21st Century Isn’t Like the 20th Century

    by Ted G. Lewis ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    What makes the 21st century different from the 20th century? This century is the century of extremes -- political, economic, social, and global black-swan events happening with increasing frequency and severity. Book of Extremes is a tour of the current reality as seen through the lens of complexity theory – the only theory capable of explaining why the Arab Spring happened and why it will happen ...

  • Emergent Nested Systems

    A Theory of Understanding and Influencing Complex Systems as well as Case Studies in Urban Systems

    by Christian Walloth ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents a theory as well as methods to understand and to purposively influence complex systems. It suggests a theory of complex systems as nested systems, i. e. systems that enclose other systems and that are simultaneously enclosed by even other systems. According to the theory presented, each enclosing system emerges through time from the generative activities of the systems they ... Read more

  • Information Adaptation: The Interplay Between Shannon Information and Semantic Information in Cognition

    by Hermann Haken, Juval Portugali ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This monograph demonstrates the interplay between Shannon information and semantic information in cognition. It shows that Shannon’s information acts as driving force for the formation of semantic information; and vice versa, namely, that semantic information participates in the formation of Shannonian information. The authors show that in cognition, Shannonian and semantic information are ... Read more

  • Understanding Complex Urban Systems: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Modeling

    Edited by Jens Martin Gurr, J. Alexander Schmidt, Christian Walloth ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Understanding Complex Urban Systems takes as its point of departure the insight that the challenges of global urbanization and the complexity of urban systems cannot be understood – let alone ‘managed’ – by sectoral and disciplinary approaches alone. But while there has recently been significant progress in broadening and refining the methodologies for the quantitative modeling of complex urban ... Read more

  • Analysis and Design of Markov Jump Systems with Complex Transition Probabilities

    by Yanzheng Zhu, Lixian Zhang, Ting Yang, Peng Shi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    The book addresses the control issues such as stability analysis, control synthesis and filter design of Markov jump systems with the above three types of TPs, and thus is mainly divided into three parts. Part I studies the Markov jump systems with partially unknown TPs. Different methodologies with different conservatism for the basic stability and stabilization problems are developed and ...
