Handbook of Graphs and Networks: From the Genome to the Internet 1st Edition by Stefan Bornholdt (PDF)

Description

Complex interacting networks are observed in systems from such diverse areas as physics, biology, economics, ecology, and computer science. For example, economic or social interactions often organize themselves in complex network structures. Similar phenomena are observed in traffic flow and in communication networks as the internet. In current problems of the Biosciences, prominent examples are protein networks in the living cell, as well as molecular networks in the genome. On larger scales one finds networks of cells as in neural networks, up to the scale of organisms in ecological food webs.This book defines the field of complex interacting networks in its infancy and presents the dynamics of networks and their structure as a key concept across disciplines.The contributions present common underlying principles of network dynamics and their theoretical description and are of interest to specialists as well as to the non-specialized reader looking for an introduction to this new exciting field.Theoretical concepts include modeling networks as dynamical systems with numerical methods and new graph theoretical methods, but also focus on networks that change their topology as in morphogenesis and self-organization. The authors offer concepts to model network structures and dynamics, focussing on approaches applicable across disciplines.

Editorial Reviews: Review “Overall, this reviewer highly recommends this Handbook of Graphs and Networks, both for the nonspecialist students and researchers and the experts as well. It serves as a good source of reference for both communities…an interested reader does profit from this collection of minireviews and likely becomes invigorated to do his/her own research in this fascinating field. Being so, this book belongs on the desk of any practitioner of this new and exciting research area.” (ChemPhysChem, September 2003) From the Back Cover This book defines the field of complex interacting networks in its infancy and presents the dynamics of networks and their structure as a key concept across disciplines.

He was a visiting professor at the Weizmann-Institute of Science in Israel and at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, USA. He is author of several books, among others “Deterministic Chaos”, which has been translated into five languages. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐この本はネットワーク理論の最新の研究成果をまとめた本です。各章は独立していますので、好きなところから読み進められます。前半の章は、より抽象的な理論中心の話、中盤から、遺伝子発現制御ネットワークや食物連鎖、さらには社会ネットワークの話まで多岐にわたっています。このネットワーク理論が如何に発展性のある学問分野であるか体感できるでしょう。ただ、この分野の発展の勢いは留まることを知らないので、本当の最先端を知るには、専門雑誌やインターネットなどに公開されている情報などに当たる必要があるでしょう。内容はかなり専門的ですので、Barabasiの“Linked”以上の専門的な知識を身につけたい、ネットワーク理論にどっぷりつかりたい、という人向けです。
