Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: Where do we go from here?

by J Hogan (Editor), A.R Krauskopf (Editor), Mario di Bernado (Editor), R. Eddie Wilson (Editor), Hinke. M Osinga (Editor)

Overview

Nonlinear dynamics has been successful in explaining complicated phenomena in well-defined low-dimensional systems. Now it is time to focus on real-life problems that are high-dimensional or ill-defined, for example, due to delay, spatial extent, stochasticity, or the limited nature of available data. How can one understand the dynamics of such sys
