A comprehensive review of spatiotemporal pattern formation in systems driven away from
equilibrium is presented, with emphasis on comparisons between theory and quantitative …

Since the subject of traffic dynamics has captured the interest of physicists, many surprising
effects have been revealed and explained. Some of the questions now understood are the …

An exploration of the production, transmission, and mutation of affective tonality—when
sound helps produce a bad vibe. Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a …

This series of books forms a unique and rigorous treatise on various mathematical aspects
of fluid mechanics models. These models consist of systems of nonlinear partial differential …

Turbulence pervades our world, from weather patterns to the air entering our lungs. This
book describes methods that reveal its structures and dynamics. Building on the existence of …

The study of the dynamics of fluids is a central theme of modern applied mathematics. It is
used to model a vast range of physical phenomena and plays a vital role in science and …

Fifteen years have elapsed after the second edition of Practical Bifurcation and Stability
Analysis was published. During that time period the? eld of computational bifurcation has …

A new edition of this well-established monograph, this volume provides a comprehensive
overview over the still fascinating field of chaos research. The authors include recent …

The study of chaotic systems has become a major scientific pursuit in recent years, shedding
light on the apparently random behaviour observed in fields as diverse as climatology and …

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 …
