MEMRISTORS, DYNAMICS AND COMPLEXITY

This invaluable compilation on the 35th anniversary of the well-established journal International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, published as a special issue in November 2025, is a collection of 12 chapters written by renowned and leading researchers in the fields of memristors, nonlinear dynamics and complexity. A broad range of topics covered include memristors, bifurcations, chaos, complex power grids and nonlinear network dynamics, with surveys and overviews of technical developments in the fields.
