chapter 1 Introduction to nonlinear systems -- chapter 2 The logistic map and elements of complex system dynamics -- chapter 3 Bifurcations -- chapter 4 Oscillators -- chapter 5 Strange attractors and continuous-time chaotic systems -- chapter 6 Cellular nonlinear networks -- chapter 7 Synchronization and chaos control -- chapter 8 Experiments and applications.
This book deals with nonlinear dynamics of electronic circuits, which could be used in robot control, secure communications, sensors and synchronized networks. The genesis of the content is related to a course on complex adaptive systems that has been held at the University of Catania since 2005. The efforts are devoted in order to emulate with nonlinear electronic circuits nonlinear dynamics. Step-by-step methods show the essential concepts of complex systems by using the Varela diagrams and accompanying MATLABŪ exercises to reinforce new information. Special attention has been devoted to chaotic systems and networks of chaotic circuits by exploring the fundamentals, such as synchronization and control. The aim of the book is to give to readers a comprehensive view of the main concepts of nonlinear dynamics to help them better understand complex systems and their control through the use of electronics devices.--Provided by publisher.
