8vo (21.5 cm), 351 pp. Publisher's laminated wrappers. Mathematical Studies: Monograph Series, vol. 9. Edited by Michael Zarichnyi. A research monograph in nonlinear dynamics and mathematical physics by Vasyl Gafiychuk (Institute of Applied Problems of Mechanics and Mathematics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Lviv) and Ihor Lubashevsky (General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow), presenting a unified mathematical theory of free-boundary (Stefan) problems arising in a broad spectrum of physical, chemical, and biological systems exhibiting self-organization. The central methodological innovation is the systematic use of conformal mapping to transform moving interfaces into fixed boundaries, thereby reducing nonlinear free-boundary problems to field equations on stationary domains and making them amenable to the methods of modern field theory. The authors emphasize that the volume consolidates and substantially extends results previously scattered across journal articles and an earlier Russian-language monograph (Kyiv, 1990), making them accessible to a wider international audience. The work is divided into five parts. Chapter 1 introduces the mathematical structure of free-boundary problems through classical examples, including oscillatory zoning, dendritic crystal growth in undercooled melts, directional solidification, flame propagation, Saffman-Taylor viscous fingering, streamer formation, and electrodeposition. Part I (Chapters 2-3) develops the nonlinear theory of pattern formation in the one-dimensional Stefan problem, with particular attention to auto-oscillatory behaviour during directional solidification. Part II (Chapters 4-5) treats two-dimensional quasi-stationary Stefan problems for open and closed geometries using conformal mapping techniques, including numerical simulations and connections with the Shraiman-Bensimon equations. Part III (Chapters 6-8) extends the theory to fully non-stationary interfaces, introducing a variational formulation and generalized dissipative functionals applicable to dendritic growth, pattern formation, and interface evolution for both open and closed boundaries. Part IV (Chapters 9-13) applies the theoretical framework to a wide range of distributed-media phenomena, including combustion stability, systems with surface diffusion and singular boundaries, reaction-diffusion pattern formation, heat-diffusion-limited thermal coagulation in biological tissues (with applications to tumour necrosis and hyperthermia), and an order-parameter model for multilane traffic flow describing hysteresis, synchronized traffic, cluster formation, and jam transitions. Part V (Chapters 14-15) provides the mathematical foundations underlying the preceding analysis, covering conformal mappings of canonical domains--including the half-plane, strip, annulus, and related regions--and the operator theory of integral transformations such as convolution. A substantial contribution to the mathematical theory of nonlinear interface dynamics, combining rigorous analytical methods with applications ranging from phase transitions and combustion to biomedical physics and traffic modelling, and serving as an important reference for researchers in applied mathematics, nonlinear science, and mathematical physics.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Leopolis, Kraków, Poland, +48 798139620, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
