内容提要 For the last few decades researchers from different fields gather their findings andknowledge trying to give a shape to the new science of complex systems. To address thisproblem, new tools and methods have to be established. We propose a new, or more precisely analternative, framework for the characterization of complex system. In thiook we will give anintroduction of applicability of simplicial complexes in the science of complex systems. Afterintroducing of main definitions and properties of simplicial complexes necessary forrepresentation and analysis of complex systems, we will illustrate the usefulness and versatilityof tools and concepts related to the simplicial complexes. In the broad sense the exposition willcover several typical manifestations of complex systems, that is, emerging psychological spaceof opinions and their exchange, topological description of complex networks, and topologicalinvariability in dynamical systems. Thiook sets a stage and serves as a starting point toinspire readers. This is always the authors' intention and wish. 目录 1 Introduction1.1 Complex system1.2 Complex networks1.3 Simplicial ComplexesBibliography2 The World of Simplicial Complexes2.1 Geometric simplicial complex2.2 Abstract simplicial complex2.3 Simplicial complex via relation2.4 Characterization of simplicial complexes2.5 SummaryBibliography3 How Do We Build Simplicial Complexes3.1 From complex networks (graphs)3.2 From data in metric space3.3 From time series3.4 SummaryBibliography4 Several Applications of Simplicial Complexes4.1 Opinion exchange modeling4.2 Topological description of the air traffic control network4.3 Topological properties of dynamical systems4.4 Instead of summary: Potential contributions to aeronautical scienceBibliography5 Take-home Messages5.1 Brief book summary5.2 Suggestions for further reading 作者介绍
