Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Nonequilibrium Complex Systems - NATO Advanced Research Workshop: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Nonequilibrium Complex Systems, Held April 13-17, 1993, in Santa F FROM THE PUBLISHER This book is proceedings volume XXI of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, which purpose was to bring together experimentalists and theorists from many different fields, ranging from applied mathematics to materials science, but unified by their intrigue with nonlinear phenomena, in search of a deeper understanding of patterns in complex systems--one of the most exciting and fastest-growing branches of physics that impacts fields as diverse as new technologies and processes, economics and biology.
FROM THE CRITICS Booknews Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, April 1993. The papers are organized in sections dealing with amplitude equations; pattern formation at phase boundaries and other interfaces; hydrodynamics in complex and simple systems; electrohydrodynamic convection in liquid crystals; phase separation in complex systems; chemical and materials instabilities; noise, turbulence, chaos, and intermittency; and pattern formation in biological systems.
