Self-organization, learning and control: perspectives on complex systems

In this work we studied three aspects of complex systems: self-organization, learning and control. We discovered a new paradigm of self-organization, broadened the scope of a known learning paradigm so that is can be used for modeling learning in the brain, extended the usage of a known control algorithm and introduced a new spectrum of control algorithms that unifies and accelerates several known algorithms.
