Noise Sustained Patterns: Fluctuations And Nonlinearities

This book investigates the impact of noise upon the emergence and sustenance of patterns. “Patterns” loosely refers to coherent spatial structures, including fronts, as well as temporal patterns. The crucial role of nonlinearities is highlighted and expanded upon in the context of dynamical system frameworks. The author''s familiarity with chaos theory, statistical physics and nonlinear science is...
