Computing in Nonlinear Media and Automata Collectives
CRC Press 2001; US$ 199.95Nonlinear media exhibit a variety of spatio-temporal phenomena. Circular waves, spiral waves and self-localized excitations are the most familiar examples. How to use these phenomena to perform useful computations is the main theme of this book. more...
Computational Complexity
Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 42.00New and classical results in computational complexity, including interactive proofs, PCP, derandomization, and quantum computation. Ideal for graduate students. more...
From System Complexity to Emergent Properties
Springer 2009; US$ 169.00Emergence and complexity refer to the appearance of higher-level properties and behaviours of a system that obviously comes from the collective dynamics of that system's components. This book highlights complexity modelling through dynamical or behavioral systems. more...
Complex Systems
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 85.95There has been recently some interdisciplinary convergence on a number of precise topics which can be considered as prototypes of complex systems. This convergence is best appreciated at the level of the techniques needed to deal with these systems, which include: 1) A domain of research around a multiple point where statistical physics, information... more...
Kolmogorov's Heritage in Mathematics
Springer 2007; US$ 54.99A.N. Kolmogorov (b. Tambov 1903, d. Moscow 1987) was one of the most brilliant mathematicians that the world has ever known. Incredibly deep and creative, he was able to approach each subject with a completely new point of view: in a few magnificent pages, which are models of shrewdness and imagination, and which astounded his contemporaries, he changed... more...
Wind Powered Generator
O'Reilly Media 2009; US$ 1.99With a motor and some piping, it's surprisingly easy to build this inexpensive, efficient wind generator - and enjoy free energy forever. There are no limits to what you can do with wind power. It's abundant, clean, cheap, and easy to harness. Abe and Josie Connally designed this Chispito Wind Generator (that's Spanish for "little spark") for fast... more...
Complexity Explained
Springer 2007; US$ 64.99Explains why complex systems research is important in understanding the structure, function and dynamics of complex natural and social phenomena. This book shows how complex collective behavior emerges from the parts of a system, due to the interaction between the system and its environment. more...
Parameterized Complexity Theory
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 94.99Parameterized complexity theory is a branch of computational complexity theory that provides a framework for a refined analysis of hard algorithmic problems. This book provides an introduction to both algorithmic techniques for fixed-parameter tractability and the structural theory of parameterized complexity classes. more...
Perspectives in Computation
University of Chicago Press 2009; US$ 25.00Computation is the process of applying a procedure or algorithm to the solution of a mathematical problem. Mathematicians and physicists have been occupied for many decades pondering which problems can be solved by which procedures, and, for those that can be solved, how this can most efficiently be done. In recent years, quantum mechanics has augmented... more...
Computational Complexity
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 67.00A conceptual introduction to modern topics in complexity for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. more...
