Advanced Synergetics

The book explores the concept of self-organization across various disciplines, illustrating how systems in nature and technology develop structures and functions independently. It addresses the commonality of instabilities in both biological processes, like cell differentiation and evolution, and engineered devices, such as electronic oscillators. By examining the interplay between natural self-organization and man-made systems, the text highlights the fluid boundary between them, making it relevant for a diverse audience in science and engineering.
