Cellular Automata, Dynamical Systems and Neural Networks

This volume contains the lectures given at the Third School on Statistical Physics and Cooperative Systems, Santiago, Chile, in December 1992. All lectures are related to recent interdisciplinary trends in statistical physics: nonlinear phenomena, dynamical systems, ergodic theory, cellular automata, symbolic dynamics, large deviations theory and numeral networks. Each contribution is devoted to one or more of the previous subjects. In most cases they are structured as surveys presenting an original point of view and new results at the same time. For researchers and graduate students interested in statistical physics and theoretical computer science.Goles, Eric is the author of 'Cellular Automata, Dynamical Systems and Neural Networks' with ISBN 9780792327721 and ISBN 0792327721.
