Propagation in Systems Far from Equilibrium Proceedings of the Workshop, Les Houches, France, March 10–18, 1987
Macroscopic physics provides us with a great variety of pattern-forming systems displaying propagation phenomena, from reactive fronts in combustion, to wavy structures in convection and to shear flow instabilities in hydrodynamics. These proceedings record progress in this rapidly expanding field....
