New Developments in Systems Theory Relevant to Biology

Conference paper

Abstract

While most of the papers at this auspicious meeting are concerned with biology (a field in which I cannot tell you anything you don’t already know much better), my talk will be concerned with systems theory and mathematics. There has been much excitement (and tangible progress) in systems theory recently. I shall try to describe some important results in conceptual terms which may suggest applications to biology, since I feel that there should be such applications.
