Pattern Formation in Liquid Crystals

Book Overview

In the last 20 years the study of nonlinear nonequilibrium phenomena in spa- tially extended systems, with particular emphasis on pattern-forming phenomena, has been one of the very active areas in physics, exhibiting interesting ramifi- cations into other sciences. During this time the study of the "classic" systems, like Rayleigh-Benard convection and Taylor vortex flow in simple fluids, has also been supplemented by the study of more complex systems...
