Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with the problems of complex systems and mathematical modeling to implementation on computers. The course will discuss various interesting areas of complex systems emphasizing their mathematical-physical-algorithmic description and subsequent simulation on PC. The course will give students an interdisciplinary field of HPC view on the issue of complex systems, their inherent parallelism and dynamic behavior. Graduate get an overview of modern computational procedure allowing to model and simulate the otherwise very complicated and complex systems. After successfully completing the course will have an interdisciplinary graduate survey knowledge of complex systems and be able to apply the methods discussed in the course to real problems. Students should be able to further deeper self in this issue.

Summary

In this course will discuss a wider range of complex systems and their behavior. They discussed how mathematical tools and methods for their modeling and simulations on a PC. They discussed such systems as nonlinear systems generating deterministic chaos, the effect of "Self-organized criticality" causing the avalanche effect leading to eventual spontaneous rearrangement of the system. Students will become familiar with the so-called Thom's catastrophe theory and its occurrence in many biological, economic as well as technical systems. There will also be discussed on cellular automata and their behavior, complex networks apod.Velký emphasis will be placed on the practical side of things - the ability to apply most of the discussed methods to practical examples. The student should have after completing the course, a comprehensive knowledge of the above-mentioned areas, including the possibility jeich use. The course includes laboratory exercises in which students will practice how to program the selected algorithms and their application to solving practical problems.
