Information Theory and Stochastics for Multiscale Nonlinear Systems

This book introduces mathematicians to the emerging mathematical interplay between ideas from stochastics and information theory and important practical issues in the study of complex multiscale nonlinear systems. It emphasizes the serendipity between modern applied mathematics and applications where rigorous analysis, the development of qualitative and/or asymptotic models, and numerical modeling all interact to explain complex phenomena.
