About this Item

Good+. Hardcover, ix + 375 pages, NOT ex-library. Short corner creases, a straightened fold on a few leaves, else little wear. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Part of a series derived from the Peyresq workshops, which focus on cutting-edge developments in nonlinear phenomena, spanning disciplines such as physics, mathematics, and complex systems science. This volume brings together expert lectures and research contributions, presenting an examination of nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, chaos theory, and the emergent behavior in various physical and biological systems. It serves as a vital resource for both theoretical and applied scientists looking to explore how nonlinearities shape the natural and engineered worlds. -- Contents: Preface; 1.

About this title

Synopsis

This book is the third volume of lecture notes from summer schools held in the small village of Peyresq (France). These lectures cover nonlinear physics in a broad sense. They were given over the period 2004 to 2008. The summer schools were organized by the Institut Non Linéaire de Nice (Nice, France), the Laboratoire de Physique Statistique (ENS Paris, France) and the Institut de Recherche de Physique Hors Equilibre (Marseilles, France). The goal of the book is to provide a high-quality overview on the state of the art in nonlinear sciences, and to promote the transfer of knowledge between the various domains in physics dealing with nonlinear phenomena.
