An Introduction

Chapter Part I in Synergetics, 2004, pp 1-387 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Over the past years the field of synergetics has been mushrooming. An ever-increasing number of scientific papers are published on the subject, and numerous conferences all over the world are devoted to it. Depending on the particular aspects of synergetics being treated, these conferences can have such varied titles as “Nonequilibrium Nonlinear Statistical Physics,” “Self-Organization,” “Chaos and Order,” and others. Many professors and students have expressed the view that the present book provides a good introduction to this new field. This is also reflected by the fact that it has been translated into Russian, Japanese, Chinese, German, and other languages, and that the second edition has also sold out. I am taking the third edition as an opportunity to cover some important recent developments and to make the book still more readable.
