8th Workshop on Multi-Rate Processes and Hysteresis and the HSFS Workshop (Hysteresis and Slow-Fast Systems)

Abstract

The current issue of Journal of Physics: Conference Series offers to your attention a selection of papers presented at the joint 8th International Workshop on MUlti-Rate Processes and HYSteresis (MURPHYS) and 3rd International Workshop on Hysteresis and Slow-Fast Systems (HSFS) that was hosted by the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (www.crm.cat), Barcelona in June 13 to 17 of 2016. This meeting, MURPHYS-HSFS-2016, continued a successful series of biennial multidisciplinary conferences on Multi-Rate Processes and Hysteresis, that previously took place in Cork (Ireland, 2002 to 2008), Pécs (Hungary, 2010), Suceava (Romania, 2012) and Berlin (Germany, 2014), as well as the series of workshops on Hysteresis and Slow-Fast Systems in Lutherstadt, Wittenberg and Berlin.MURPHYS-HSFS-2016 workshop brought together over 30 researchers working on hysteresis and multi-scale phenomena from Europe, Russia and US. Participants shared and discussed recent developments of analytical techniques in several areas of common interest. Topics of this volume include analysis of hysteresis phenomena, multiple scale systems, self-organizing nonlinear systems, singular perturbations and critical phenomena, as well as applications of the hysteresis and the theory of singularly perturbed systems to fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, cancer modeling, population modeling, mathematical economics and control. More information about the Workshop can be found at:http://www.crm.cat/en/Activities/Curs_2015-2016/Pages/MURPHYS.aspxAll papers published in this volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing.We are happy to acknowledge support of the Workshop by AGAUR of the Generalitat de Catalunya, CERCA Programme of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, Collaborative Research Center 910: Control of Self-organizing Nonlinear Systems (Germany), the Samara National Research University (Russia) and Drexel University (USA).Pavel Gurevich, Andrei Korobeinikov, Dmitrii Rachinskii and Vladimir Sobolev, Editors
