bifurcation of equilibrium states
1Constructal theory — Design in nature is flow. The two sides of the constructal law: we predict the occurrence of design in nature, and we design devices for human use. The constructal law puts forth the idea that the generation of design (configuration, pattern,… …
2Chaotic hysteresis — A nonlinear dynamical system exhibits chaotic hysteresis if it simultaneously exhibits chaotic dynamics (chaos theory) and hysteresis. As the latter involves the persistence of a state, such as magnetization, after the causal or exogenous force… …
3river — river1 riverless, adj. riverlike, adj. /riv euhr/, n. 1. a natural stream of water of fairly large size flowing in a definite course or channel or series of diverging and converging channels. 2. a similar stream of something other than water: a… …
4Dynamical system — This article is about the general aspects of dynamical systems. For technical details, see Dynamical system (definition). For the study, see Dynamical systems theory. Dynamical redirects here. For other uses, see Dynamics (disambiguation). The… …
5Competitive Lotka–Volterra equations — The competitive Lotka–Volterra equations are a simple model of the population dynamics of species competing for some common resource. They can be further generalised to include trophic interactions. Contents 1 Overview 1.1 Two species 1.2 N… …
6Cybernetical physics — is a scientific area on the border of Cybernetics and Physics which studies physical systems with cybernetics methods. Cybernetics methods are understood as methods developed within control theory, information theory, systems theory and related… …
7Action potential — In physiology, an action potential is a short lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, called… …
8Cellular neural network — Cellular neural networks (CNN) are a parallel computing paradigm similar to neural networks, with the difference that communication is allowed between neighbouring units only. Typical applications include image processing, analyzing 3D surfaces,… …
9nervous system, human — ▪ anatomy Introduction system that conducts stimuli from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord and that conducts impulses back to other parts of the body. As with other higher vertebrates, the human nervous system has two main… …
10Mathematical and theoretical biology — is an interdisciplinary scientific research field with a range of applications in biology, medicine and biotechnology.[1] The field may be referred to as mathematical biology or biomathematics to stress the mathematical side, or as theoretical… …
