Time delays in dynamical systems arise as an inevitable consequence of finitespeeds of information transmission. Realistic models increasingly demand the inclusion of delays in order to properly understand, analyze, design, and control real-life systems. The goal of this book is to present the state-of-the-art in research on time-delay dynamics in the framework of complex systems. While the theory of delay equations is quite mature, its application to the particular problems of complex systems and complexity is a newly emerging field, andthe present volume aims to play a pioneering role in this perspective. The chapters in this volume are authored by renowned experts and cover both theory and applications in a wide range of fields, with examples from neurosciences, traffic dynamics and laser physics. Furthermore, all chapters include sufficient introductory material and extensive bibliographies, making the book a self-contained reference for both graduate students and active researchers alike.
