Study Notes
- Complexity theory is a framework used to model and analyze complex systems.
- Complexity theory encompasses a very broad and very diverse set of models and methods, as yet there is no proper formulation to structure and give definition to this framework.
- Systems theory is the mother of complexity theory, before there was complexity theory, systems theory was dealing with the ideas of complexity, self-organization, adaptation and so on.
- Nonlinearity is an inherent feature and major theme that crosses all areas of complex systems.
- Chaos theory is the study of nonlinear dynamical systems.
- Trying to model complex systems by using traditional linear systems theory is like trying to put a screw into a piece of wood with a hammer.
- Nonlinear systems and chaos theory provide a framework for understanding complex systems.
- Nonlinear systems are systems that do not follow simple mathematical models, and can be very complex.
- The dynamics of a nonlinear system can be very complex, and can be difficult to understand.
- Nonlinear systems can be used to model complex physical systems.
