NONLINEAR SCIENCE from Paradigms to Practicalities
نویسنده
چکیده
by David K. Campbell No tribute to the legacy of Stan Ulam would be complete without a discussion of “nonlinear science,” a growing collection of interdisciplinary studies that in the past two decades has excited and challenged researchers from nearly every discipline of the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics. Through his own research Stan played a major role in founding what we now call nonlinear science, and through his encouragement of the work of others, he guided its development. In this survey article I will try to weave the thread of Stan’s contributions into the pattern of recent successes and current challenges of nonlinear science. At the same time I hope to capture some of the excitement of research in this area.

T his empirical analysis endeavors to trace out the causal nexus between core inflation and economic growth from the perspective of twenty worlds’ leading economy with the help of the nonlinear Granger causality approach by using time series data from 1981 to 2016. Based on nonlinear Granger causality results, it has been found that there is unidirectional casualty running from core ...
