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.
