Infos

Spontaneous pattern formation in nonlinear dissipative systems far from equilibrium occurs in a variety of settings in nature and technology, and has applications ranging from nonlinear optics through solid and fluid mechanics, physical chemistry and chemical engineering to biology. This book explores the forefront of current research, describing in-depth the analytical methods that elucidate the complex evolution of nonlinear dissipative systems.

Len Pismen is Emeritus Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. He has worked in various areas of applied physics and published over 200 papers. His earlier books include Vortices in Nonlinear Fields (1999), Patterns and Interfaces in Dissipative Dynamics (first edition, 2006), a textbook Working with Dynamical Systems (2021) and general audience books The Swings of Science (2018), Morphogenesis Deconstructed (2020), and Active Matter within and around us (2021). The latter two books appear in Springer's Frontiers Collection.
