| Abstract
|
:
|
This book contains review articles surveying the wide range of applications of synergetics to complex systems of physical, chemical and biological origin. Leading scientists in each of these fields describe how the mathematical tools of synergetics and the paradigm of self-organization have led to important advances in fields as diverse as laser instabilities, pattern formation in fluids, psychology and artificial life to name but a few.
