Title: Instabilities and Nonequilibrium Structures IV
Description: This volume contains a selection of the lectures given at the Fourth International Workshop on Instabilities and Nonequilibrium Structures in Valparaíso, Chile, in December 1991. The contents are divided into two parts. Part I includes papers dealing with statistical mechanics, mathematical aspects of dynamical systems and stochastic effects in nonequilibrium systems. Part II is devoted mainly to instabilities and self-organization in extended nonequilibrium systems. The study of partial differential equations by numerical and analytic methods plays a great role here. The most recent developments in this fascinating and rapidly growing area are discussed. For mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, and nonequilibrium systems.
Subjects: Mathematics, Differential equations, partial, Computer science, Partial Differential equations, Applications of Mathematics, Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis, Dynamical Systems and Complexity Statistical Physics
