title: Dynamical disease: Challenges for nonlinear dynamics and medicine.
abstract: Dynamical disease refers to illnesses that are associated with striking changes in the dynamics of some bodily function. There is a large literature in mathematics and physics which proposes mathematical models for the physiological systems and carries out analyses of the properties of these models using nonlinear dynamics concepts involving analyses of the stability and bifurcations of attractors. This paper discusses how these concepts can be applied to medicine.
