Let's Face Chaos through Nonlinear Dynamics
Proceedings of the 4th International Summer School/Conference
Edited by M. Robnik, Y. Aizawa, H. Hasegawa and Y. Kuramoto
This volume contains the Proceedings of the 4th International Summer
School/Conference "Let's Face Chaos through Nonlinear
Dynamics", held at the University of Maribor, Slovenia,
on 27 June - 11 July 1999. It is not the written version
of the presented lectures and contributions. Instead,
we publish papers which are based on the presented
invited lectures and contributions. They are not
pedagogical, but rather original research papers, some
of them with a short and some of them with a longer review.
In this way they definitely clearly convey the spirit
of the School/Conference.
The scientific topics cover a very broad range of research,
strongly interdisciplinary, in nonlinear dynamics,
chaos theory and synergetics, from mathematics, to theoretical
and experimental physics, quantum chaos, theory of turbulence,
statistical physics, stochastic resonance, chaotic synchronization,
semiclassical theory, microwave cavities, biophysics,
problems in controlling cardiac arrhythmias,
modelling of cardiovascular system in humans, pattern formation,
principles and models of brain functioning, nonlinear dynamics
and chaos in space plasmas, pattern formation in bacterial
colonies, socio-ecological dynamics.
