Contents 1. Extreme Energy Dissipation -- 2. Some General Optimal Control Problems Useful for Biokinetics -- 3. Variational and the Optimal Control Models in Biokinetics -- 4. Extreme Character of Evolution in Trophic Pyramid of Biological Systems and the Maximum Energy Dissipation/Least Action Principle -- 5. Phenomenological Cost and Penalty Interpretation of the Lagrange Formalism in Physics -- 6. Conceptual Aspects of the Common Extrema in Biology and Physics -- Main Conclusions and Remaining Questions.
Summary "This book is the first unified systemic description of dissipative phenomena, taking place in biology, and non-dissipative (conservative) phenomena, which is more relevant to physics. Fully updated and revised, this new edition extends our understanding of nonlinear phenomena in biology and physics from the extreme / optimal perspective. The first book to provide understanding of physical phenomena from a biological perspective and biological phenomena from a physical perspective. Discusses emerging fields and analysis. Provides examples."--Publisher's description.
