Systems Analysis and Modeling - A Macro-to-Micro Approach with Multidisciplinary Applications (Hardcover)

This title uses an approach to systems analysis and modelling with a systems science flavour that stimulates systems thinking. The author moves from illustrating the three-fold nature of the universe to circumscribing a "Yellowstone National Park" grizzly bear system. After introducing systems modelling principles, the ensuing selecting of examples illustrate that anything which changes over time can be modelled as a system. Each example begins with a knowledge base whose items display relevant information obtained from systems analysis. Repetition of this approach for a diversity of examples clearly establishes a new protocol for synthesising systems models. New ideas such as dynamics forms and reverse regression are merged with the well-known continuity equation to synthesise linear-equation models of nonlinear and/or stochastic systems, thus replacing the more conventional differential equation models. Standard matrix algebra is employed in their solution.
