Beschreibung
Synchronization: From Simple to Complex is devoted to the fundamental phenomenon in physics – synchronization that occurs in coupled non-linear dissipative oscillators. Examples of such systems range from mechanical clocks to population dynamics, from human heart to neural networks. The authors study this phenomenon as applied to oscillations of different nature such as those with periodic, chaotic, noisy and noise-induced nature, reveal the general mechanisms behind synchronization, and bring to light other important effects that accompany synchronization such as phase multistability, dephasing and multimode interaction. The main purpose of this book is to demonstrate that the complexity of synchronous patterns of real oscillating system can be described in the framework of the general approach.

From the reviews: “The book combines an introduction to synchronization phenomena with the presentation of some classical results … and of the recent contributions of the authors to the popular and rapidly developing field … . can be recommended as a first reading for graduate and postgraduate students.” (Michael Rosenblum, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 b)
