Noise in dynamical systems is usually considered a nuisance. However, in certain nonlinear
systems, including electronic circuits and biological sensory systems, the presence of noise …

Research on semiconductors has a long history [Lar54, Smi59]. Phenomenologically they
are defined as substances whose electrical resistivity covers a wide range, about 10− 4 to …

Oscillatory behavior has been observed for almost all electrochemical reactions in a certain,
although sometimes small, range of external parameters. Only in the past ten years has it …

Nonlinear transport phenomena are an increasingly important aspect of modern
semiconductor research. This volume deals with complex nonlinear dynamics, pattern …

Neurons, which are made of biological tissue, exhibit cognitive properties that can be
replicated in various material substrates. To create brain-inspired computational artificial …

We consider a comprehensive classification scheme of oscillatory electrochemical systems
with respect to the mechanistic basis of their kinetic instability. Four principal oscillator …

The vast body of literature on electrochemical oscillations has revealed a quite surprising
fact: dynamic instabilities, manifesting themselves, for example, in bistable or oscillatory …

A semiconductor superlattice represents an ideal one-dimensional nonlinear dynamical
system with a large number of degrees of freedom. The effective nonlinear coupling …

The coupling of spatial and temporal symmetry breaking instabilities is studied in a two-
variable reaction-diffusion model describing semiconductor transport. A variety of …

There is an intimate connection between the acquisition of information and how this
information changes the remaining uncertainty in the system. This trade-off between …
