Dissipative Structures and Chaos

Beschreibung

This monograph consists of two parts and gives an approach to the physics of open nonequilibrium systems. Part I derives the phenomena of dissipative structures on the basis of reduced evolution equations and includes Bénard convection and Belousov-Zhabotinskii chemical reactions. Part II discusses the physics and structures of chaos. While presenting a construction of the statistical physics of chaos, the authors unify the geometrical and statistical descriptions of dynamical systems. The shape of chaotic attractors is characterized, as are the mixing and diffusion of chaotic orbits and the fluctuation of energy dissipation exhibited by chaotic systems.
Dissipative Structures and Chaos is a far reaching description of the important field of Chaos Theory. This textbook, consisting of two parts, is written for graduate and postgraduate students as well as for scientists. The first part describes the phenomena leading to chaotic behaviour. The structure of chaotic systems is treated in the second part of the book.
Introduction to the field Research topics included Interdisciplinary approach Written by highly reputated Japanese scientists

"...extremely well written ...and has sufficient detail and clarity to enable readers (presumably post-graduates) to learn the important techniques presented... the best reference that I know that describes the physics (and in particular the statistical physics) of dissipative structures and chaos...an absolute must" Australian & New Zealand Physicist
