It is with great pleasure that we present to you our inaugural issue of Journal of Nonlinear Dynamics and Applications (JNDA). The topics of nonlinear dynamics mainly include stability, bifurcation, chaos and control of nonlinear systems. Before the 1950s, the researches on nonlinear dynamics were in the preliminary stage. In 1963, the formal proposal of chaos theory marked a major breakthrough in nonlinear dynamics. After the 1980s, nonlinear dynamics has been widely applied in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and other fields. Since the 21st century, complex network dynamics, nonlinear control, intelligent control and other researches have become the hot topics, promoting the cross... More >
