The latest developments on both the theory and applications of bifurcations with symmetry. The text includes recent experimental work as well as new approaches

Most physical systems lose or gain stability through bifurcation behavior. This book explains a series of experimentally found bifurcation phenomena by means of

Understanding the spontaneous formation and dynamics of spatiotemporal patterns in dissipative nonequilibrium systems is one of the major challenges in nonlinea

This volume contains the proceedings of two related workshops held at The Fields Institute in February and March 1993. The workshops were an integral part of th

The framework of ‘symmetry’ provides an important route between the abstract theory and experimental observations. The book applies symmetry methods to dyna
