The advent of ultraintense laser pulses generated by the technique of chirped pulse
amplification (CPA) along with the development of high-fluence laser materials has opened …

A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

In this book we have attempted to bring together much of the work that has been
accomplished in the field which we loosely term: Solitons and the Inverse Scattering …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

Introduction to Dusty Plasma Physics contains a detailed description of the occurrence of
dusty plasmas in our Solar System, the Earth's mesosphere, and in laboratory discharges …

This book focuses on the physics of laser plasma interactions and presents a
complementary and very useful numerical model of plasmas. It describes the linear theory of …

A detailed survey of the technique of perturbation theory for nearly integrable systems,
based upon the inverse scattering transform, and a minute account of results obtained by …

There has been a revolution in nonlinear physics over the past twenty years. Two great
discoveries, each of which, incidentally, was made with the aid of the computer experiment …

Since the human organism is itself an open system, we are naturally curious about the
behavior of other open systems with fluxes of matter, energy or information. Of the possible …
