Nonlinear Science: Emergence and Dynamics of Coherent Structures

by Alwyn Scott

Much mathematical modeling has involved the assumption that physical systems are approximately linear, leading to the construction of equations which although relatively easy to solve, are unrealistic and overlook significant phenomena. Models assuming nonlinear systems however lead to the emergence of new structures that reflect reality much more closely. This second edition of Nonlinear Science places a strong emphasis on applications to realistic...
