Noise Sustained Patterns: Fluctuations And Nonlinearities PDF
by Loecher Markus Loecher
Part of the World Scientific Lecture Notes In Physics series
Description
This book investigates the impact of noise upon the emergence and sustenance of patterns. "Patterns" loosely refers to coherent spatial structures, including fronts, as well as temporal patterns.
The crucial role of nonlinearities is highlighted and expanded upon in the context of dynamical system frameworks.
The author's familiarity with chaos theory, statistical physics and nonlinear science is reflected in the highly interdisciplinary character of the text.
Model equations and experiments taken from fluid dynamics, semiconductor devices, biophysics and statistical mechanics complement theoretical concepts.It should be of great value to researchers and graduate students who desire a quick introduction to the subject.
Excursions into emerging fields such as traffic flow simulations and game theory serve to broaden the scope and to encourage the exploration of sundry topics.
