Download or read book Proceedings of the 3rd Experimental Chaos Conference written by RobertG Harrison and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-10-16 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the third in our unique series on experimental chaos, brings together from a broad range of disciplines, some of the exciting developments of the last two years concerned with the observations, measurements and applications of nonlinear dynamical behaviour. Included are chaos, spatio-temporal chaos and patterns, control of chaos, time series analysis and characterization, pattern recognitions and signal processing. The subjects covered include optics, fluids, condensed matter, astrophysics, biological, chemical and medical sciences, engineering, metreorology and oceanography.
