A Perspective Look at Nonlinear Media : From Physics to Biology and Social Sciences Hardback
Edited by Jurgen Parisi, Stefan C. Muller, Walter Zimmermann
Part of the Lecture Notes in Physics series
Hardback
Description
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.
