From Nonlinearity to Coherence: Universal Features of Non-Linear Behaviour in Many-Body Physics

by Peter A. Clarkson, Jack A. Tuszynski, John Michael Dixon

Nonlinear physics has grown from a collection of exotic examples of nonstandard behavior to an all-embracing scientific methodology. Many examples come from condensed matter physics. This book presents a unified view of many-body condensed matter systems as essentially nonlinear structures capable of exhibiting such features as chaos, coherence, solution formation and phase transitions. The book provides an overview of nonlinear phenomena in science,...
