Description for Spatial Patterns Hardback. Deals with nonlinear higher order model equations that are central to the description and analysis of spatio-temporal pattern formation in the natural sciences. This book exhibits the principal families of solutions, such as kinks, pulses and periodic solutions, and their dependence on critical eigenvalue parameters. Series: Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications. Num Pages: 358 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBWH; PDE; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 686.
The study of spatial patterns in extended systems, and their evolution with time, poses challenging questions for physicists and mathematicians alike. Waves on water, pulses in optical fibers, periodic structures in alloys, folds in rock formations, and cloud patterns in the sky: patterns are omnipresent in the world around us. Their variety and complexity make them a rich area of study. In the study of these phenomena an important role is played by well-chosen model equations, which are often simpler than the full equations describing the physical or biological system, but still capture its essential features. Through a thorough analysis ... Read more
