Correlations, connections, and physics in complex systems

Abstract

It is with great pleasure that we present, in this issue, a series of papers dedicated to the 60th birthday of Professor Yurij Holovatch. The broad spectrum of topics treated by the contributions reflect Yurij's comprehensive interests and his wide-ranging research. Thus, contributions range from papers on phase-transition theory to papers dealing with scientometric issues, from condensed matter theory to cosmological and astronomical problems.
