Download or read book Dynamics of Coupled Map Lattices and of Related Spatially Extended Systems written by Jean-René Chazottes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-07-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the dynamics of coupled map lattices (CML) and of related spatially extended systems. It will be useful to post-graduate students and researchers seeking an overview of the state-of-the-art and of open problems in this area of nonlinear dynamics. The special feature of this book is that it describes the (mathematical) theory of CML and some related systems and their phenomenology, with some examples of CML modeling of concrete systems (from physics and biology). More precisely, the book deals with statistical properties of (weakly) coupled chaotic maps, geometric aspects of (chaotic) CML, monotonic spatially extended systems, and dynamical models of specific biological systems.
