Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Structures in Nature are ubiquitous and fascinating. In natural and mathematical systems nonlinear structures, roughly speaking, are those resulting from nonlinear equations, the investigation of which forms a large and integral part of the new branch of science-the nonlinear science. Like nonlinear science in general, non­ linear structures is a truly interdisciplinary subject which involves physicists, chemists, biologists, material scientists, mathematicians, engineers, etc. In view of the recent rapid developments in this subject and the existence of a converging picture which acts to unify some of the previously considered separate subfields of research, we think it is time to bring together various experts to exchange ideas and share their newest findings. The Second Woodward Confer­ ence afforded us a chance to do exactly this. Accordingly, this second conference in the series was devoted to the subject of Nonlinear Structures in Physical Sys­ tems: Pattern Formation, Chaos and Waves, and was held at San Jose State Uni­ versity on November 17-18, 1989.

Reseña del editor

The Second Woodward Conference, held November 17-18, 1989 at San Jose State University, brought together pioneers and experts from a number of different disciplines to discuss problems involving nonlinear structures in physical systems, with emphasis on pattern formation, chaos and waves. These proceedings contain results of interest to workers in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and mathematics. Topics discussed include: - pattern formation of bubbles, viscous fingers, electrodeposits, solidifications, chemical systems and frustrated systems - chaos, self-organized criticality and complex systems - convection and traveling waves in simple and com- plex liquids - nonlinear structures in materials such as magnetic systems, polymers, fluid dispersions, and glassy and solid thin films - other nonlinear structures in plasmas, premixed flames, biological systems etc.
