The textbook on

Complex and Adaptive Dynamical Systems


is available as a Springer textbook (Amazon)
(2008, corrected second printing 2009, second edition 2010).

Cognitive and Complex System Theory

A cognitive system is a percepting and autonomously acting dynamical system. It is influenced, but not driven by sensory input, its self-generated internal dynamics plays therefore a central role.

We are developing organizational principles for autonomous cognitive systems and complex and adaptive dynamical systems in general.

Examples of organizational principles are polyhomeostasis, a generalization of homeostasis, and diffusive emotional control.

For further information on possible Bachelor-, Master- and Diploma studies see here and the flyer.




High temperature superconductors

The high temperature superconductors, like SrxLa2-xCuO4, have a very interesting phase diagram. The high-transition temperature Tc for the superconducting (SC) phase is seen as a consequence of the highly-unusual metallic normal state at T>Tc.

This unusual metallic state is characterized by a pseudogap and may be a realization of a new, long-sought quantum state of matter, the spin-liquid or Resonating Valence Bond (RVB) state, which we are investigating.
