Nonlinear Waves and Pattern Dynamics
The present book gathers chapters from colleagues of A. Ezersky from Russia, especially
those from Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy
of Science and from France, with whom he has been collaborating on experimental
and theoretical developments.
The book is subdivided into two parts. Part I contains eight chapters related to
nonlinear water waves and Part II addresses in five chapters, patterns dynamics in
nonequilibrium media. The contributions of Alexander B. Ezersky were valuable
from both the experimental and the theoretical points of view.
We thank all the authors for their contributions and the Springer Editor for
having kindly accepted the edition of this book in memory of our colleague and
friend, Prof. Alexander Borisovich Ezersky.
