Statement: Building upon previously funded projects (PB94-1167 for 5 years, BFM2000-1108:
CONOCE and FIS2004-00953: CONOCE2) we aim to develop interdisciplinary and strategic research
from a common background of studies in Nonlinear Physics and Complex Systems, with methodologies
taken from Statistical Physics, Dynamical Systems Theory and Computational Methods.
The research is organized
in a unifying transverse line of exploration and fundamental nature
· Transversal line : Complex systems: Statistical and Nonlinear Physics
and 4 targeted research lines which focus on more specific fields:
· Line 1: Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Optics and Dynamics of Optoelectronic Devices
· Line 2: Fluid dynamics, Biofluids and Geophysical Fluids
· Line 3: Biophysics and Nonlinear Phenomena in Ecology and Physiology
· Line 4: Dynamics and collective phenomena in social systems
General scientific objectives :
a) Exploring: contribute to the development of concepts and methods for the
understanding of generic non-linear phenomena in complex systems.
b) Transferring interdisciplinary transfer of this body of knowledge to the strategic
targeted research sub-lines 1-4.

COMMITMENT:
The qualitative improvement we propose here is to advance in a more risky
research, avoiding endogenous incremental research and putting emphasis on
interdisciplinary transfer.

Some specific objectives:
· Develop and test new methodologies to derive macroscopic descriptions of interacting particle systems.
· Characterize dynamics and new cooperative phenomena on complex networks, including weighted and directed
networks.
· Develop self-consistent methods in the treatment of excitable systems, in particular in synchronization problems.
· Light beam control with photonic crystals and metamaterials.
· Characterize quantum states and entanglement in beams carrying orbital angular momentum.
· Security aspects in optical communication based on chaos.
· Applications of novel semiconductors laser configurations including microcavities and arrays.
· Obtain a global classification of different scenarios arising in chemically or biologically reacting fluids stirred by
chaotic flows.
· Identify mechanisms by which fluid turbulence influences biological plankton dynamics at different scales.
· Non-linear dynamics study of environmental variability effects on coastal ecological systems.
· To apply complex network techniques to organize genetic data from ecological and evolutionary contexts.
· Understand the role of delayed interactions and fluctuations in the information transmission in neural systems.
· Bring stochastic processes and methods into the context of drug design and modelling.
· Develop methods and tools to manage pattern resilience in physical, ecological and social complex systems.
· Impact the social sciences literature and community in consensus formation and co-evolution of social structure
and agent dynamics.
