Overview
- There is much interest in infrastructural problems these days, including the complexities of transportation, the Internet, supply chains, and many other infrastructural networks. This interest has generated mathematical modeling of physical and virtual infrastructure that emphasizes the nonlinear and dynamic nature of flow phenomena on infrastructure networks
- Will attract considerable attention among researchers in many areas, such as: network flows, network optimization, dynamical systems, OR/MS, information technology, computer science, and regional science
- Reviewer's comment: "The book emphasizes the overall issue of modeling infrastructural networks arising in different, but related, domains. In particular, it seeks to focus on one of the main similarities between these, namely the nonlinear nature of the problems"
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Network Science, Nonlinear Science and Infrastructure Systems has been written by leading scholars in these areas. Its express purpose is to develop common theoretical underpinnings to better solve modern infrastructural problems. It is felt by many who work in these fields that many modern communication problems, ranging from transportation networks to telecommunications, Internet, supply chains, etc., are fundamentally infrastructure problems. Moreover, these infrastructure problems would benefit greatly from a confluence of theoretical and methodological work done with the areas of Network Science, Dynamical Systems and Nonlinear Science. This book is dedicated to the formulation of infrastructural tools that will better solve these types of infrastructural problems.
