Description

This book presents the concepts needed to deal with self-organizing complexsystems from a unifying point of viewthat uses macroscopic data. The meanings of "information"are discussed. A general formulation of the maximum inform-ation (entropy) principle is used. With aid of synergeticsadequate objective constraints for a large class of systemsare formulated and examples are given from physics andbiology.
