Conservative Systems and Quantum Chaos FROM THE PUBLISHER
This volume presents new research in classical Hamiltonian and quantum systems from the Workshop on Conservative Systems and Quantum Chaos held during The Fields Institute Program Year on Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Theory in October 1992 (Waterloo, Canada). The workshop was organized so that there were presentations that formed a bridge between classical and quantum mechanical systems. Four of these papers appear in this collection, with the remaining six papers concentrating on classical Hamiltonian dynamics.

Presents new research in classical Hamiltonian and quantum systems from an October 1992 workshop in Waterloo, Canada that was part of the institute's Program Year on Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Theory. Four of the ten papers form a bridge between classical and quantum mechanical systems, while the rest concentrate on classical Hamiltonian dynamics. Describes applications ranging from the numerical exploration of a coupled mechanical system to a Hamiltonian approach to spatio-temporal chaos in population genetics and ecology.
