Nonlinear Chemical Waves

By Peter J. Ortoleva

Concerned with chemical wave mechanics arising from reaction in transport systems. Demonstrates that, as with free particles in quantum mechanics, certain simple elements can serve as organizing tools for understanding the complex phenomena treated. The rich diversity of waves and patterns, running the gamut from standing, oscillating, flames and nerve impulses to reactive geological media, are derived from the analysis of their underlying mathematical structures.
