Modeling Complex Living Systems: A Kinetic Theory and Stochastic Game Approach (Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology)

Modeling Complex Living Systems: A Kinetic Theory and Stochastic Game Approach (Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology)

by NicolaBellomo (Author)

Synopsis

This book develops new mathematical methods and tools to model living systems. The material it presents can be used in such real-world applications as immunology, transportation engineering, and economics. The first part of the book deals with deriving general evolution equations that can be customized to particular systems of interest in the applied sciences. The second part of the book deals with various models and applications. The book will be a valuable resource to all involved in modeling complex social systems and living matter in general.

Media Reviews
This nicely written book promotes the idea that the methods employed for modeling living systems may significantly differ from the techniques used for analyzing inert matter...This text, carefully written by a well-known expert, explains broad and profound applications of a new approach to modeling of nonlinear complex systems not only in the natural sciences, but also in systems describing social, ecological, and economic phenomena. It is a very useful reference for anyone interested in mathematical modeling of complex systems. (Svitlana P. Rogovchenko, Zentralblatt MATH)
