Complexity Decomplexified: A List of 200+ Results Encountered Over 55 Years

Rössler, Otto E.

Pages: 1 –17

[The present list was compiled by a “specialist for non-specialization” who owes his scientific identity to the masters of three disciplines: physicist Carl-Friedrich von Weizsäcker, biologist Konrad Lorenz and mathematician Bob Rosen. With the in retrospect best findings compressed into a line...

The Cause of Complexity in Nature: An Analytical and Computational Approach

Mainzer, Klaus

Pages: 19 –49

[This work is going to present the cause of complexity in nature from an analytical and computational point of view. The cause of complex pattern formation is explained by the local activity of cells in complex systems which are analytically modeled by nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations in...

Complexity Fits the Fittest

Joosten, Joost J.

Pages: 51 –63

[In this paper we shall relate computational complexity to the principle of natural selection. We shall do this by giving a philosophical account of complexity versus universality. It seems sustainable to equate universal systems to complex systems or at least to potentially complex systems....

Rugged Landscapes and Timescale Distributions in Complex Systems

Stein, D. L.; Newman, C. M.

Pages: 65 –79

[We review a simple model of random walks on a rugged landscape, representing energy or (negative) fitness, and with many peaks and valleys. This paradigm for trapping on long timescales by metastable states in complex systems may be visualized as a terrain with lakes in the valleys whose water...

Structural Complexity of Vortex Flows by Diagram Analysis and Knot Polynomials

Ricca, Renzo L.

Pages: 81 –100

[In this paper I present and discuss with examples new techniques based on the use of geometric and topological information to quantify dynamical information and determine new relationships between structural complexity and dynamical properties of vortex flows. New means to determine linear and...

Two Conceptual Models for Aspects of Complex Systems Behavior

Voorhees, Burton

Pages: 101 –130

[This chapter presents two toy models dealing with trade-off issues arising in complex systems research. After comparison of modeling in classical physics and complex systems theorizing these models are discussed in detail. The first examines the trade-off between stability and flexibility in an...

Toward a Computational Model of Complex Human Systems Dynamics

Eoyang, Glenda H.

Pages: 131 –159

[A useful computational model of complex human systems dynamics could support advancements in theory and practice for social systems from intrapersonal experience to global politics and economics. Models of human interactions have evolved from Newtonian assumptions, which served a variety of...

Stochastic Complexity Analysis in Synthetic Biology

Strelkowa, Natalja

Pages: 161 –194

[In this chapter we present selected mathematical methods used for the design of synthetic gene networks. We showcase the method applications on the generalized repressilator model which simplest special cases—a genetic switch and a genetic oscillator—have been implemented in living bacterial...

Automatic Computation of Crossing Point Numbers Within Orthogonal Interpolation Line-Graphs

Law, Victor J.; O’Neill, Feidhlim T.; Dowling, Denis P.

Pages: 195 –216

[The recording of atmospheric pressure plasmas (APP) electro-acoustic emission data has been developed as a plasma metrology tool over the last couple of years. In this work low moment analysis of acoustic time-series data is examined for structure complexity (in terms crossing points) within 2-...

Computational Tactic to Retrieve a Complex Seismic Structure of the Hydrocarbon Model

Smaglichenko, Tatyana A.; Sayankina, Maria K.; Smaglichenko, Alexander V.

Pages: 217 –235

[Passive seismic is a direction of human activity, due to which the prospecting of hydrocarbons can be performed by producing a minimal amount of drilling. The synthetic data are presented as arrival times of waves from regional events. Seismic rays pass through the thin layers that compose 2-D...
