Generalized Dynamics of Soft-Matter Quasicrystals Mathematical Models, Solutions and Applications
This book highlights the mathematical models and solutions of the generalized dynamics of soft-matter quasicrystals (SMQ) and introduces possible applications of the theory and methods. Based on the theory of quasiperiodic symmetry and symmetry breaking, the book treats the dynamics of individual qu...
