In this chapter some dynamical concepts of complex dynamics that will be used in this book are presented. Moreover, some graphics illustrating the theoretical concepts are shown in order to let the reader understand them better.

The empirical study of network dynamics has been limited by the lack of longitudinal data. Here we introduce a quantitative indicator of link persistence to explore the correlations between the structure of a mobile phone ...

Designing simple chaotic circuits with complex dynamic behaviors that can generate coexisting and hidden attractors has attracted much interest recently. In this paper, a new voltage-tunable Colpitts oscillator based on a ...

The landscape paradigm has become a widespread picture within the realm of complex systems. Complex systems include a great variety of systems, ranging from glasses to biopolymers, which display a common dynamical behavior. ...

Is the characterization of biological systems as complex systems in the mathematical sense a fruitful assertion? In this paper we argue in the affirmative, although obviously we do not attempt to confront all the issues ...

We consider in this paper a sequence of complex analytic functions constructed by the following procedure integral(n) (z) = integral(n-1) (z) integral(n-2) (z) + c, where c is an element of C is a parameter. Our aim is to ...

In this paper establishes the formal locally a field of complex dimension two, in the vicinity of an isolated singular point, whose Taylor series expansion (around the isolated singularity) has linear part with a zero ...
