| This case is an umbrella to capture a range of models of ecological, social, social-ecological, and other natural systems (e.g. climate). In addition, there are several models whose main purpose is to demonstrate model visualization features related to a number of famous mathematical models including the Lorenz Model, the discrete logistic, and predator prey models. The Lorenz Model, probably the most famous of all simple models, is the first ever model of a chaotic dynamical system.... | 09 Aug 2016 |
