Author Description

"This volume contains a number of mini-review articles authored by speakers and attendees at the IMA workshop on pattern formation in continuous and coupled systems. Pattern formation has been studied intensively for most of this century by both experimentalists and theoreticians. This workshop focused on new directions in the patterns literature. Systems that generate new types of pattern such as discrete coupled systems, systems with global coupling, and combustion experiments were stressed, as were new types of pattern."--BOOK JACKET.
