Synopsis

Covers the full spectrum of mathematical research involved in combining symmetry methods with dynamical systems and bifurcation theory. The topics include analyzing the dynamics of flames, modelling travelling waves of spatial patterning in morphogenesis, a dynamical model for phase transformation in nonlinear elasticity, and instabilities induced by differential flows. The 20 papers are from two related workshops at the Fields Institute in February and March 1993. They are addressed to research mathematicians. No index. The member price is $49.
