Selforganization in complex systems : the past, present, and future of synergetics : Proceedings of the International Symposium, Hanse Institute of Advanced Studies, Delmenhorst, Germany, November 13-16, 2012

"This proceedings volume contains talks and poster presentations from the International Symposium "Self-Organization in Complex Systems: The Past, Present, and Future of Synergetics", which took place at Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg, an Institute of Advanced Studies, in Delmenhorst, Germany, during the period November 13 - 16, 2012. The Symposium was organized in honour of Hermann Haken, who celebrated his 85th birthday in 2012. With his fundamental theory of Synergetics he had laid the mathematical-physical basis for describing and analyzing self-organization processes in a diversity of fields of research. The quest for common and universal principles of self-organization in complex systems was clearly covered by the wide range of interdisciplinary topics reported during the Symposium. These extended from complexity in classical systems and quantum systems over self-organisation in neuroscience even to the physics of finance. Moreover, by combining a historical view with a present status report the Symposium conveyed an impression of the allure and potency of this branch of research as well as its applicability in the future" -- OhioLink Library Catalog Front Matter....Pages I-XV Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Flow Organization in Highly Turbulent Thermal Convection....Pages 3-7 Periodic External Input Tunes the Stability of Delayed Nonlinear Systems: From the Slaving Principle to Center Manifolds....Pages 8-24 Control of Desynchronization Transitions in Delay-Coupled Networks of Type-I and Type-II Excitable Systems....Pages 25-42 Adiabatic Invariants and Some Statistical Properties of the Time Dependent Linear and Nonlinear Oscillators....Pages 43-58 Synergetic Impact of Synergetics - Remembrances of a Chemist....Pages 59-74 The Physics of Finance: Collective Dynamics in a Complex World....Pages 75-90 Front Matter....Pages 91-91 Quantum Thermodynamics: A Case Study for Emergent Behavior....Pages 93-108 Nanolasers: Current Status of the Trailblazer of Synergetics....Pages 109-128 Front Matter....Pages 129-144 The Brain as a Synergetic and Physical System....Pages 145-145 Neurobiological Principles of Mental Development in the Child....Pages 147-163 Synergetics in Psychology: Patterns and Pattern Transitions in Human Change Processes....Pages 165-180 Auditory Streaming as a Paradigm of Synergetic Pattern Formation in Brain and Behavior....Pages 181-208 Introduction to Chronotaxic Systems – Systems Far from Thermodynamics Equilibrium that Adjust Their Clocks....Pages 209-226 Coarse-Grained Order Parameter Dynamics of the Synergetic Computer and Multistable Perception in Schizophrenia....Pages 227-246 Front Matter....Pages 247-262 Hermann Haken – His Roadmap to Synergetics....Pages 263-263 Obituaries....Pages 265-281 Front Matter....Pages 283-285 Mean-Field Theory for Extended Bose-Hubbard Model with Hard-Core Bosons....Pages 287-287 Bose-Einstein Condensates in Compact Astrophysical Objects....Pages 289-296 A Thalamacortical Feedback Model to Explain EEG During Anesthesia....Pages 297-304 Front Matter....Pages 305-312 Paving the Royal Road for Complex Systems: On the Influence of Memory on Adaptivity....Pages 287-287 Analysis of Noisy Spatio-Temporal Data....Pages 313-318 Foam Decay with Incomparable Lorenz Curves....Pages 319-324 Bubbles, Jumps, and Scaling from Properly Anticipated Prices....Pages 325-331 Functional Architectures for Complex Behaviors: Analysis and Modeling of Interacting Processes in a Hierarchy of Time Scales....Pages 333-338 Large-Scale Neural Network Model for Functional Networks of the Human Cortex....Pages 339-344 Back Matter....Pages 345-352 ....Pages 353-364
