Résumé : Coarse graining techniques and their associated symbolic dynamics are reviewed with a focus on probabilistic aspects of complex dynamical systems. The probabilistic approach initiated by Nicolis and coworkers has been elaborated. One of the major issues when dealing with the dynamics of complex nonlinear systems, the fact that the inherent time-scales of the unfolding phenomena are not well separated, is brought into focus. Recent results related to this interdependence, which is one of the most characteristic aspects of complexity and a major challenge in prediction, error estimates and monitoring of nonlinear complex systems, are discussed. © 2011 World Scientific Publishing Company.
