Simple Local Models for Complex Dynamical Systems

Erik Talvitie, Satinder P. Singh
2008 Neural Information Processing Systems  
We present a novel mathematical formalism for the idea of a "local model" of an uncontrolled dynamical system, a model that makes only certain predictions in only certain situations.  ...  As a result of its restricted responsibilities, a local model may be far simpler than a complete model of the system.  ...  Automatically splitting a system into simple local models is an interesting, challenging problem, and ripe ground for future research.  ...

Ecological Systems as Complex Systems: Challenges for an Emerging Science

Madhur Anand, Andrew Gonzalez, Frédéric Guichard, Jurek Kolasa, Lael Parrott
2010 Diversity

Self-organization in a model of economic system with scale invariant interactions

2001 Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications  
The method of constructing the local scale invariant stochastic models is proposed. The possible extension of minimal scale-invariant interaction principle for stochastic systems is formulated.  ...  A simple scale invariant model that possesses an economical interpretation is considered. Essential characteristics of its self-organization mechanisms are discussed.  ...  There are reasons to suppose that it can be used for the construction of the models of basic self-organization mechanisms of complex adaptive natural system [2] [3] [4] [5] and particularly for modeling  ...

Complexity in Natural Landform Patterns

B. T. Werner
1999 Science  
An alternative modeling methodology based on the tendency of natural systems to self-organize in temporal hierarchies is described.  ...  Existing approaches to modeling natural landform patterns, reductionism and universality, are incompatible with the nonlinear, open nature of natural systems.  ...  Many models for complex systems are simple and universalist. The advantage of these simple models is that it is often straightforward to understand how they work.  ...

Arm splitting and backfiring of spiral waves in media displaying local mixed-mode oscillations

Qingyu Gao, Lu Zhang, Qun Wang, I. R. Epstein
2009 Chaos  
The behavior of spiral waves is investigated in a model of reaction-diffusion media supporting local mixed-mode oscillations for a range of values of a control parameter.  ...  In many systems, simple spirals evolve into more complex structures, and several scenarios have been identified by which this process can take place.  ...  homogeneous systems: simple spiral waves with simple local dynamics can evolve to complex spiral waves with quasiperiodic local dynamics and then to spiral turbulence 13, 25 or can proceed via period-doubling  ...

2024 Solid Earth  
Earthquake dynamic rupture scenarios on a less segmented fault system, particularly with a hypocenter location in the eastern part of the fault system, have a larger potential for local tsunami generation  ...  The six dynamic rupture models sourcing our tsunami scenarios vary regarding hypocenter location, spatiotemporal evolution, fault slip, and fault structure complexity but coincide with historical earthquake  ...  We thank Lukas Krenz, Lauren Abrahams, and Eric Dunham for invaluable discussions and their contributions to the 3D fully coupled earthquake-tsunami modeling capabilities in SeisSol.  ...
