Synopsis

Concepts of nonlinear physics are applied to an increasing number of research disciplines. With this volume, the editors offer a selection of articles on nonlinear topics in progress, ranging from physics and chemistry to biology and some applications of social science. The book covers quantum optics, electron crystallization, cellular or flow patterns in fluids and in granular media, biological systems, and the control of brain structures via neuronal excitation. Chemical patterns are looked at both in bulk solutions and on surfaces in heterogeneous systems. From regular structures, the authors turn to the more complex behavior in biology and physics, such as hydrodynamical turbulence, low-dimensional dynamics in solid-state physics, and gravity.

Synopsis

A study of nonlinear media, this work covers: quantum chaos in Rydberg atoms; crystallization of electrons and holes; natural patterns in nonequilibrium systems; linear aspects of the Faraday instability; and nonlinear flow behaviour and shear-induced structure of fluids.
