Résumé

This volume covers the rapidly developing field of complexity studies. The underlying theme is that complexity is to be found everywhere and there follows a useful discussion of the many chemical applications. There is comprehensive coverage of complexity and the ways in which it may be calculated; complexity indices; complexity measures based on Shannon's information theory; and thermodynamic complexity.
This volume provides a valuable source of reference for graduates and researchers in mathematical theory.

L'auteur - Dennis H. Rouvray

Dennis H. Rouvray was born in Rochford, Essex, U.K. in 1938 and studied at Imperial College (University of London) where he was awarded the Ph. D. degree in 1964. He then became a traveling academic and held posts at Universities in Canada, the U.K., South Africa, Germany and the USA. He is currently at the University of Georgia where he is Adjunct Professor. For the past 25 years he has worked in various areas of mathematical chemistry and has played an active role in promoting this discipline. In 1987 he founded the Journal of Mathematical Chemistry and has co-organized three international conferences on mathematical chemistry in 1987 (Athens, Georgia), 1995 (Pitlochry, Scotland), and 2001 (Athens, Georgia).
