Nonlinear Dynamics of Networks: Applications to Mathematical Music Theory
Abstract
Algebraic approaches to modelling and the theory of dynamical systems are important aspects of theories of mathematics and music. Group-theoretic approaches have been used for some time in models of pitch-class, tuning and interval etc.More recent approaches by (2002) and others strikingly extend this algebraic formulation into the realm of modules and categories. And the theory of dynamical systems has found musical applications in both algorithmic music creation (for example in the compositions of Agostino Di Scipio), and the physical modelling of musical instruments (in the work of Xavier Rodet and others at IRCAM).
