Discrete integrable systems. Discrete integrable systems are a fundamental generalisation of traditional integrable systems. This project, combining 5 world experts from 3 countries and 2 early career researchers, will expand and systematise this new interdisciplinary field, and will place Australia at the forefront of this intensive international activity.

The mission of the Centre is to stimulate research in mathematical and statistical modelling of complex systems and to encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques. The specific objectives are
- to formulate and analyse mathematical and statistical models for natural and artificial complex systems,
- to use these models to develop an understanding of the behaviour of these systems
- to incorporate this understanding into strategies for management and control.Read moreRead less

Energetically Open Systems Research Network Study. Conceptual frameworks arising in the physical sciences, such as non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, synergetics, chaos and dynamical systems theory, are seminal in the emerging science of complexity. This study will lay the groundwork for a network to link Australian and overseas research on these fundamental concepts, and their application within the context of entropy-producing systems vital to the long-term sustainabilit ....Energetically Open Systems Research Network Study. Conceptual frameworks arising in the physical sciences, such as non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, synergetics, chaos and dynamical systems theory, are seminal in the emerging science of complexity. This study will lay the groundwork for a network to link Australian and overseas research on these fundamental concepts, and their application within the context of entropy-producing systems vital to the long-term sustainability of the earth - oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, CO2-free energy production, space and solar environment. The network would facilitate the development of young investigators and be linked into wider complex systems networks such as the CSIRO Centre for Complex Systems Science.Read moreRead less
The shape of chaos: geometric advances in partially hyperbolic dynamics. This project aims to use recent advances in geometry and topology to discover new forms of chaotic dynamical systems and further classify the forms of chaos which are possible. Many systems in nature exhibit chaotic dynamics as they change in time. Not all systems are chaotic in the same way, and identifying the form of chaos and its qualitative properties is crucial to truly understanding the system. Chaotic dynamics aris ....The shape of chaos: geometric advances in partially hyperbolic dynamics. This project aims to use recent advances in geometry and topology to discover new forms of chaotic dynamical systems and further classify the forms of chaos which are possible. Many systems in nature exhibit chaotic dynamics as they change in time. Not all systems are chaotic in the same way, and identifying the form of chaos and its qualitative properties is crucial to truly understanding the system. Chaotic dynamics arise in chemical reactions, celestial mechanics, industrial mixing processes, fusion reactors, and many other processes. This project will aid in predicting the possible long-term behaviours of these systems.Read moreRead less
The dynamics of viral latency in chronic infection. Although many acute infections can now be controlled, we still suffer from a large number of chronic infections such as HIV or herpes that cannot be eradicated. Many of these infections persist because they can lie dormant in a 'latent' state. How this latent state is established, and how long it lasts are important to understand if we want to control these infections. We have assembled a team of mathematicians, immunologists and virologists in ....The dynamics of viral latency in chronic infection. Although many acute infections can now be controlled, we still suffer from a large number of chronic infections such as HIV or herpes that cannot be eradicated. Many of these infections persist because they can lie dormant in a 'latent' state. How this latent state is established, and how long it lasts are important to understand if we want to control these infections. We have assembled a team of mathematicians, immunologists and virologists in order to study latent infection at the cellular level, and within infected monkeys. This will provide the first insights into the dynamics of latency - how these cells are produced and die - and should lead to novel approaches to controlling chronic infection.Read moreRead less
New Frontiers and Advances in Discrete Integrable Systems. Integrable systems boast a long and venerable history, and have such famous members as the Kepler system, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the sine-Gordon equation. More recently, interest in integrable systems has expanded to include systems with discrete time, that is, ordinary difference equations (or maps) and integrable partial difference equations. These discrete integrable systems are arguably more fundamental than the continuo ....New Frontiers and Advances in Discrete Integrable Systems. Integrable systems boast a long and venerable history, and have such famous members as the Kepler system, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the sine-Gordon equation. More recently, interest in integrable systems has expanded to include systems with discrete time, that is, ordinary difference equations (or maps) and integrable partial difference equations. These discrete integrable systems are arguably more fundamental than the continuous-time ones. Based upon recent breakthroughs this study will combine analysis, geometry, and computer algebra to expand and systematise this new interdisciplinary field of discrete integrable systems.Read moreRead less

It expects to develop innovative mathematical insights, improve our understanding of immunology, and consolidate collaborations with top American and European laboratories and groups. Expected outcomes include cutting-edge techniques for multiscale biological modelling and improved prediction and analysis of immune dynamics. The project should provide benefits to industries where highly organised behaviours are important, for example those interested in robot swarming, optimal transportation, and epidemic management. It should also benefit Australian students and researchers with novel overseas training opportunities.Read moreRead less
