Dynamical Systems: From Crystal To Chaos, Conference In Honor Of Gerard Rauzy On His 60th Birthday

by J-m Gambaudo, P Hubert, P Tisseur, Sandro Vaienti

Overview

This book focuses on the interactions between discrete and geometric dynamical systems, and between dynamical systems and theoretical physics and computer science. Accordingly, the contributions revolve around two main topics: (1) interaction between geometric and symbolic systems, with emphasis on tiling problems for quasicrystals, substitutions and their multidimensional generalizations, geodesic and horocycle flow, adic systems; (2) dynamical systems: geometry and chaos, with special interest in smooth ergodic theory, statistical and multifractal properties of chaotic systems, stability and turbulence in extended complex systems.

Editorial Reviews

The proceedings from this July 1998 conference discuss chaotic and quasi-periodic dynamic systems, and dynamic systems of geometric origin. Contributors discussing a dynamic system approach of nonlinear physical phenomena try to extend the dynamical system approach to the study of infinite dimensional systems. Those discussing zero-dimensional dynamical systems raise very precise questions concerning these systems' deep arithmetic and combinatoric structures. And, those concerned with geometric and piecewise smooth dynamical systems try to bridge the previous two positions. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
