Abstract

We comment on some recent, yet unpublished results concerning instabilities in complex systems and their applications. In particular, we briefly describe main observations during extensive computer simulations of two lattice nonequilibrium models. One exhibits robust and efficient processes of pattern recognition under synaptic coherent activity; the second example exhibits interesting critical behavior and simulates nucleation and spinodal decomposition processes in driven fluids.
