  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    by Philip Ball ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

  • Generally True Patterns: A New Natural History of Recognizing Ourselves as a Part of Nature

    by David L. Witt ...
    There is a widely held belief that we are exempt from the laws of nature. And further, that we can treat the living earth without regard to consequences. Our species may endure, but our purposeful environmental destruction threatens the survival of wild nature and the civilization we have built. We need to examine what might remedy or mitigate the situation and address the underlying cause ... Read more

  • Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

    Theory and Algorithms

    by Lars Grüne, Jürgen Pannek ...
    Series series Communications and Control Engineering
    Nonlinear Model Predictive Control is a thorough and rigorous introduction to nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for discrete-time and sampled-data systems. NMPC is interpreted as an approximation of infinite-horizon optimal control so that important properties like closed-loop stability, inverse optimality and suboptimality can be derived in a uniform manner. These results are complemented ... Read more

  • How Systems Form and How Systems Break

    A Beginner’s Guide for Studying the World

    by Chiang H. Ren ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Our world is composed of systems within systems—the machines we build, the information we share, the organizations we form, and elements of nature that surround us. Therefore, nearly every field of study and practice embodies behaviors stemming from system dynamics. Yet the study of systems has remained somewhat fragmented based on philosophies, methodologies, and intentions. Many methodologies ... Read more
