Nonlinear characteristics of systems and its application in urban planning DSS

This paper is devoted to analyzing nonlinear characteristics of complex systems. Since traditional linear system methods need to be improved, a nonlinear computational mathematics methods should be introduced to system engineering researches. Due to the lack of complete nonlinear theory, we suggest human intelligence be combined with calculating capacity of computer. Thereafter, a tentative ideal on an urban planning DSS with man-computer integration is proposed.
