Instabilities and fronts in extended systems / Pierre Collet, Jean-Pierre Eckmann.

Show other versions (1)

The physics of extended systems is a topic of great interest for the experimentalist and the theoretician alike. There exists a large literature on this subject in which solutions, bifurcations, fronts, and the dynamical stability of these objects are discussed. To the uninitiated reader, the theore...
