The occurrence of hysteresis phenomena has been traditionally associated with mechanical and magnetic properties of materials. However, recent studies on the dynamics of biological processes suggest switch-like behavior that could be described by mathematical models of hysteresis. This book presents the milestones and perspectives of biological hysteresis and provides a comprehensive and application-oriented introduction to this subject. The target audience primarily comprises researchers but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
Introduction.- Bifurcation Theory and Bistability.- Preisach Models.- Examples of Hysteresis Phenomena in Biology.
First book to address the interface between mathematics of hysteresis and biological processes Well-balanced between theoretical models and applications Provides a view towards computational realizations of biological switches
