Chemical oscillations, waves, and turbulence (Q802406)

The book concerns the dynamics of many-oscillator systems of dissipative type with special emphasis on oscillating reaction-diffusion systems. The methods used are the reductive perturbation method and the phase description method. These are applied to: the onset of collective rhythms; the wavepattern formation and the diffusion induced chemical turbulence. The book has seven chapters. Three of them concern the methods and the other the applications.
