Nonlinear wave dynamics. Complexity and simplicity
There exist already many books on nonlinear waves, solitons, and nonlinear dynamics. Maybe too many. Some of them are very special and would require a deep knowledge of mathematical methods, such as the inverse scattering transform. This book is also very special. The general idea of this book is to start from complicated mathematical models describing wave motion as it results from the continuum mechanics, and then to find a simpler viewpoint that still keeps everything essential preserved. Special attention is paid to the description of the sources of nonlinearities. The complexities in modelling are demonstrated by several examples including solitons, propagating instabilities, and waves in waveguides. The final chapters are of more general character, including essays on nonlinearity, beauty, and complexity. Table of contents does not say much about the style and the material included into the book. Some chapters (e.g., chapter 6) are difficult to read, especially for undergraduates. This is the part interesting for specialists working in the fields of the author's research interests (nonlinear waves of deformation, ultrasonic waves in tissues, propagation of nerve pulses). However, the most of the book is accessible for students, and it presents a beauty of nonlinear phenomena, from the mathematics of nonlinear models to a general philosophical framework and physical concepts of complexity and simplicity.
