Nonlinear Structures in Physical Systems Pattern Formation, Chaos, and Waves Proceedings of the Second Woodward Conference San Jose State University November 17–18, 1989
Structures in Nature are ubiquitous and fascinating. In natural and mathematical systems nonlinear structures, roughly speaking, are those resulting from nonlinear equations, the investigation of which forms a large and integral part of the new branch of science-the nonlinear science. Like nonlinear...
