Information Dynamics: Foundations and Applications Book

"Information Dynamics" presents an interdisciplinary treatment of nonlinear dynamical systems with an emphasis on complex systems which transmit information in time and space. The book offers a new theoretical approach to dynamical systems from an information theory perspective. The goal of the book is to provide a detailed and unified study of the flow of information in a quantitative manner, utilizing methods and techniques from information theory, time series analysis, nonlinear dynamics and neural networks. The authors use analysis of test-bed simulations, empirical data, and real-world applications to give concrete perspectives and reinforcement for the key conceptual ideas and methods. The formulation provides a unique and consistent conceptual framework for the problem of discovering knowledge behind empirical data. Topic and features: *self-contained presentations of concepts and methods*interdisciplinary perspective*dynamical characterization of time signals*information flow and coarse graining*real data applications*coverage of temporal and spatiotemporal systems The book is an essential text/reference on the latest concepts and methods for studying quantitative modeling of nonlinear dynamical system behavior. Postgraduates, professionals and researchers in science, engineering, computer science and neural computing will find the book a useful and authoritative resource for the subject.Read More
