Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Chaotic Dynamics of Brain Activity During the Sleep Cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, the study of complex systems may be performed by analysing experimental data recorded as a series of measurements in time of a pertinent and easily accessible variable of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic aspects of climatic transitions—response to a periodic forcing
TL;DR: In this article, the time-dependent properties of the Fokker-Planck equation corresponding to a zero-dimensional climate model, showing bistable behavior and subject to a weak external periodic forcing are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there a climatic attractor
TL;DR: Using the theory of nonlinear dynamic systems, this work shows how certain key properties of climate can be determined solely from time series data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic aspects of climatic transitions–Additive fluctuations
TL;DR: In this article, the Fokker-Planck equation corresponding to a zero-dimensional climatic model showing bistable behavior is analyzed and a climatic potential function is introduced, whose variational properties determine the most probable states of the stationary probability distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foundations of Complex Systems
TL;DR: An approach to Complexity from the perspective of fundamental science is outlined, drawing on the cross-fertilization of concepts and tools from nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics, probability and information theories, data analysis and numerical simulation.
