Book excerpt: This book focuses on the interactions between discrete and geometric dynamical systems, and between dynamical systems and theoretical physics and computer science. Accordingly, the contributions revolve around two main topics: (1) interaction between geometric and symbolic systems, with emphasis on tiling problems for quasicrystals, substitutions and their multidimensional generalizations, geodesic and horocycle flow, adic systems; (2) dynamical systems: geometry and chaos, with special interest in smooth ergodic theory, statistical and multifractal properties of chaotic systems, stability and turbulence in extended complex systems.
