Publication of the first issue of our journal, Journal of Dynamical Systems and Complexity

JDSC emerges at a pivotal time in the evolution of science and technology. As our understanding of nature and engineered systems deepens, nonlinear dynamical systems and complexity theory continue to reveal their profound significance across disciplines. From the organization of living systems and ecosystems to the control of autonomous machines and the evolution of intelligent algorithms, complexity is no longer a secondary feature—it is the essence of modern systems.

In the physical world, the behavior of many systems cannot be captured by linear models. Nonlinear dynamical systems provide the essential framework to understand phenomena such as turbulence, chaos, synchronization, and pattern formation. These phenomena are not merely mathematical curiosities but are central to the modeling of real-world systems in physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering. The study of complexity complements this by focusing on emergent behavior, robustness, and adaptability, which are foundational to understanding both natural and artificial systems. Therefore, the Journal of Dynamical Systems and Complexity is committed to publishing high-quality research that lies at the intersection of theory and application, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches.
