About this Research Topic
The exciting topics on multifaceted complexity occurring in nonequilibrium processes and nonlinear science have achieved an astounding expansion. The behavior of such systems, spanning a broad range of spatiotemporal scales, is regulated by a plethora of mutually intertwined factors influencing the underlying processes, the understanding of which is a nontrivial challenge and one of the most critical open issues in contemporary science. These processes are diverse, encompassing problems in various fields such as statistical and condensed matter physics, nonlinear optics, physical chemistry, material science, and new multidisciplinary domains like medical/neuroscience, complex networks, climatology, and dynamics of social systems.
The spotlight of this Research Topic is on the complexity of dynamics in nonequilibrium and nonlinear processes. Researchers are encouraged to submit to this thematic collection, as we intend to gather contributions from a wide range of relevant disciplines. In addition to the significance of deciphering the fundamental underlying concepts, the research of nonlinear and nonequilibrium systems is also opening new avenues for exploring innovative approaches and applications. Therefore, we are interested in receiving manuscripts that offer fresh perspectives on any subject related to collective dynamics processes, encompassing a wide range of complex systems. This Research Topic is open for theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies to showcase the most recent developments in this field.
The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Criticality, phase transitions and self-organization in nonequilibrium systems
- Revealing dynamics of nonequilibrium systems by nonlinear optical and interferometric methods
- Dynamics of driven disordered magnetic systems and multilayers
- Complex and collective behavior in nonequilibrium systems
- Development of experimental techniques and methods for the characterization of nonequilibrium and nonlinear dynamics
- Symmetry and pattern formation
- Neuronal avalanche dynamics
- Spreading of epidemics
- Climatic changes.
