About this book
: |
 |
|
The dynamics of realistic
Hamiltonian systems has unusual microscopic |
|
features that are direct
consequences of its fractional space-time structure and |
|
its phase space topology. This
book deals with the fractality of the chaotic dynamics |
|
and kinetics, and also
includes material on non-ergodic and non-well-mixing |
|
Hamiltonian dynamics. It does
not follow the traditional scheme of most of today's
|
|
literature on chaos. The
intention of the author has been to put together some of the |
|
most complex and yet open
problems on the general theory of chaotic systems. |
|
The importance of the
discussed issues and an understanding of their origin should |
|
inspire students and
researchers to touch upon some of the deepest aspects of
|
|
nonlinear dynamics. |
|
The book considers the basic
principles of the Hamiltonian theory of chaos and some |
|
applications including for
example, the cooling of particles and signals, control and |
|
erasing of chaos, polynomial
complexity, Maxwell's Demon, and others. It presents a |
|
new and realistic image of the
origin of dynamical chaos and randomness. |
|
An understanding of the origin
of randomness in dynamical systems, which may not be |
|
of the same origin as chaos,
provides new insights in the diverse fields of physics, |
|
biology, chemistry and
engineering. |
