Abstract

Based on several new concepts, this paper mathematically deduces a new model of general systems, namely, the structural model of general systems. By its mathematical analysis, the principles and laws of general systems can be mathematically achieved, which can not only help scientists achieve a better understanding and control of complex systems in nature and society but also be applied to solve particular scientific problems, and thus a problem‐oriented and mathematically expressed general systems theory, namely, the structural theory of general systems, would be achieved.
