[کتاب][B] How nature works: the science of self-organized criticality

P Bak - 2013‏ - books.google.com
and acknowledgments Self-organized criticality is a new way of viewing nature. The basic
picture is one where nature is perpetually out of balance, but organized in a poised state-the …

Self-organized criticality

DL Turcotte - Reports on progress in physics, 1999‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The concept of self-organized criticality was introduced to explain the behaviour of the
sandpile model. In this model, particles are randomly dropped onto a square grid of boxes …

Optimization with extremal dynamics

S Boettcher, AG Percus - complexity, 2002‏ - Wiley Online Library
A local‐search heuristic for finding high‐quality solutions for many hard optimization
problems is explored. The method is inspired by recent progress in understanding far‐from …

River meandering as a self-organization process

HH Stølum - Science, 1996‏ - science.org
Simulations of freely meandering rivers and empirical data show that the meandering
process self-organizes the river morphology, or planform, into a critical state characterized …

Extremal optimization

S Boettcher - New optimization algorithms in physics, 2004‏ - Wiley Online Library
Physical processes have inspired many optimization heuristics. Most famously, variants of
simulated annealing and genetic algorithms are widely used tools for the exploration of …

Planform geometry and dynamics of meandering rivers

HH Stølum - Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1998‏ - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Three freely meandering rivers in the Amazon basin were analyzed for statistical scaling
properties and oxbow lake size-frequency distributions. The rivers are the Purus (central …

Nonlinear complex dynamical systems in developmental psychology.

P Van Geert - 2009‏ - psycnet.apa.org
The course of human development over the life span is a prime example of a complex,
nonlinear dynamical system. The process of development is recursive and self-organizing. It …

[کتاب][B] Modeling extinction

MEJ Newman, RG Palmer - 2003‏ - books.google.com
Developed after a meeting at the Santa Fe Institute on extinction modeling, this book
comments critically on the various modeling approaches. In the last decade or so, scientists …

The role of extreme events in the impacts of selective tropical forestry on erosion during harvesting and recovery phases at Danum Valley, Sabah

I Douglas, K Bidin, G Balamurugan… - … of the Royal …, 1999‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Ten years' hydrological investigations at Danum have provided strong evidence of the
effects of extremes of drought, as in the April 1992 El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO) …

Evolution of random networks

K Christensen, R Donangelo, B Koiller, K Sneppen - Physical Review Letters, 1998‏ - APS
We investigate extremal dynamics on random networks. In the quenched case, after a
transient time the dynamics is localized in the largest cluster. The activity in the largest …
