The Symmetry Perspective (eBook, PDF)

From Equilibrium to Chaos in Phase Space and Physical Space

Beschreibung

The framework of 'symmetry' provides an important route between the abstract theory and experimental observations, especially for the study of pattern formation in physical systems. The book applies symmetry methods to dynamical systems, focusing on bifurcation and chaos theory. It's exposition is organized around a wide variety of applications ranging from theoretical physics to evolutionary biology.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book was awarded the Ferran Sunyier i Balaguer Prize for 2001, and I am sure that it will be a very useful resource not only for researchers in this area but also for those who want to obtain the benefits of using this approach in applications." -- Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society (Review of hardcover edition)

"[The] rich collection of examples makes the book ... extremely useful for motivation and for spreading the ideas to a large Community. This [review] is far from complete and cannot reflect the authors' unique way of presenting examples, asking questions, giving answers or forming an intuition."(MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS)
