The Nonlinear Science and Complexity conference series provides a place to exchange recent developments, discoveries, and progress in nonlinear science and complexity.
The aims of the conference series are to present fundamental and frontier theories and techniques for modern science and technology, stimulate research interest in nonlinear science and complexity, and pass new knowledge to young researchers, engineers, and technologists.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Nonlinear differential equations and applications
- Nonlinear dynamics and engineering nonlinearity
- Discontinuous dynamical systems and control
- Synchronization and chaos control
- Neurodynamics and brain dynamics
- Social dynamics and complexity
- Switching systems with impulses
Conference Series
The first conference on Nonlinear Science and Complexity was held in Beijing in 2006. Since then, the conference has been held internationally, usually every two years, with complementary meetings on nonlinear dynamics and complexity organized as needed.
Awards and Recognitions
To promote research and development in nonlinear science, complexity, nonlinear dynamics, and control, the conference series recognizes distinguished contributions through four awards.
