One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …

Multifractality is ubiquitously observed in complex natural and socioeconomic systems.
Multifractal analysis provides powerful tools to understand the complex nonlinear nature of …

Understanding and predicting turbulent flow phenomena remain a challenge for both theory
and applications. The nonlinear and nonlocal character of small-scale turbulence can be …

When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

The use of fractal concepts in understanding various growth phenomena, such as molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) or fluid flow in porous media, is increasingly important these days. This …

Now in a greatly expanded second edition, this book relates fractals and chaos to a variety
of geological and geophysical applications and introduces the fundamental concepts of …

▪ Abstract We survey the newly developed Hilbert spectral analysis method and its
applications to Stokes waves, nonlinear wave evolution processes, the spectral form of the …

According to classical concepts of physiologic control, healthy systems are self-regulated to
reduce variability and maintain physiologic constancy. Contrary to the predictions of …

A framework is provided for scaling and scale issues in hydrology. The first section gives
some basic definitions. This is important as researchers do not seem to have agreed on the …

Textbooks in this series cover a wide variety of courses in mathematics, statistics and
computational methods. Ranging across undergraduate and graduate levels, books may …
