Finding Appropriate Dynamics for the Social Sciences

The growing area of "mathematical social sciences" has provided valued insights for several disciplines, but a key aspect of this development desperately needs help from mathematicians who are skilled in dynamical systems. Namely, although "change" obviously is a central feature for all of the social sciences, it is not clear how it should be modeled. Indeed, in a real sense, this article is a call for help; it is an appeal for more people from the dynamical systems community to become involved. What makes the challenge attractive is that, once the appropriate dynamics are discovered, they most surely will involve features that differ from what we currently see in the literature. To introduce what causes some of the complexities of these areas, results and difficulties associated with price dynamics are described. As it will become clear, much less is known about how prices change than the reader might have expected.

Front Propagation in a Model for Civil Unrest

Ghazaryan and Rodríguez describe recent work revealing front propagation in a model of civil unrest.

Frontiers of Invariant Manifold Approximation in Multiple-Timescale Dynamics

Ian Lizarraga from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Sydney, (ian.lizarraga (at) sydney.edu.au) describes how to use the computational singular perturbation (CSP) method and the parametrization method to compute approximations to invariant manifolds. He also shows how the parametrization method can be adapted to problems with more than two time scales.
