nonlinear physics 2

What is it about?

The research in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and nonlinear physics is a scientific approach to the investigation of how relationships between parts give rise to the collective behavior of a system, and how the system interacts and forms relationships with its environment. Such problems are tackled, mostly, with new concepts and tools related to Information Theory, Statistical Mechanics and Nonlinear Dynamics. They aim at representing and understanding the organized albeit unpredictable behavior of natural systems that are considered intrinsically complex. In fact, the exciting fields of Complexity, Chaos and Nonlinear Science have experienced impressive growth in recent decades. Research topics not only include classical problems in Statistical Mechanics, Fluids, Pattern Formation, Chaos and Dynamical Systems (these have deserved a wealth of attention), but they have also given place to new interdisciplinary fields like Networks, Social Dynamics, Econophysics, Theoretical Neuroscience and Brain Dynamics, Granular Media, Biomathematics and Data Science, among others.
