Nonlinearity  of a system may significantly complicate the predictability of future  states: a small variation of parameters can dramatically change the  dynamics, while sensitive dependence of the initial state may severely  limit the predictability horizon. Uncertainties also play a role.  \u003cbr\u003e  This volume addresses such problems by using tools from chaos theory  and systems theory, adapted for the analysis of problems in the  environmental sciences. Sensitive dependence on the initial state  (chaos) and the parameters are analyzed using methods such as Lyapunov  exponents and Monte Carlo simulation. Uncertainty in the structure and  the values of parameters of a model is studied in relation to  processes that depend on the environmental conditions. These methods  also apply to biology and economics. \u003cbr\u003e  For research workers at universities and (semi)governmental institutes  for the environment, agriculture, ecology, meteorology and water  management, and theoretical economists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401044165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0962-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 653\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398795456652,"sku":"9789401044165","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401044165.jpg?v=1775793425","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401044165","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
