Complex Systems
There has been recently some interdisciplinary convergence on a number of precise topics which can be considered as prototypes of complex systems.This convergence is best appreciated at the level of the techniques needed to deal with these systems, which include: 1) A domain of research around a multiple point where statistical physics.

Advances in statistical control, algebraic systems theory, and dynamic systems characteristics : a tribute to Michael K. Sain
Dedicated to Michael K. Sain, this volume is a collection of invited chapters covering advances in stochastic optimal control theory and algebraic systems theory. It is ideal for use as a supplementary textbook in a graduate course on optimal control or algebraic systems theory.

Exchange rate theory and practice
This volume grew out of a National Bureau of Economic Research conference on exchange rates held in Bellagio, Italy, in 1982. In it, the world's most respected international monetary economists discuss three significant new views on the economics of exchange rates - Rudiger Dornbusch's overshooting model, Jacob Frenkel's and Michael Mussa's asset market variants, and Pentti Kouri's current account/portfolio approach. Their papers test these views with evidence from empirical studies and analyze a number of exchange rate policies in use today, including those of the European Monetary System.

Simplicial models of social contagion
Complex networks have been successfully used to describe the spread of diseases in populations of interacting individuals. Conversely, pairwise interactions are often not enough to characterize social contagion processes such as opinion formation or the adoption of novelties, where complex mechanisms of influence and reinforcement are at work. Here we introduce a higher-order model of social contagion in which a social system is represented by a simplicial complex and contagion can occur through interactions in groups of different sizes. Numerical simulations of the model on both empirical and synthetic simplicial complexes highlight the emergence of novel phenomena such as a discontinuous transition induced by higher-order interactions. We show analytically that the transition is discontinuous and that a bistable region appears where healthy and endemic states co-exist. Our results help explain why critical masses are required to initiate social changes and contribute to the understanding of higher-order interactions in complex systems.
Social contagion cannot only be understood in terms of pairwise interactions among individuals. Here, the authors include higher-order social interactions, the effects of groups, in their model of social contagion, enabling insight into why critical masses are required to initiate social changes.
