Turing Bifurcations and Pattern Selection

摘要: Pattern forming instabilities in spatially extended dissipative systems driven away from equilibrium have been the focus of a large activity for many years. The goal this chapter is to present some theoretical concepts that developed understand and describe these structures [1] macroscopic point view. Although methods generic features we shall only be concerned with chemical patterning not discuss here hydrodynamics, liquid crystals nonlinear optics all similar types organization because latter subject recent well-documented reviews [2–5]. Moreover, essentially consider self-organization discarding spatial resulting boundary conditions.
