Markedly apart from elementary particle physics, another current
has been building up and cont i nuous ly growi ng within
contemporary phys i cs for severa 1 decades, and even expanding
into many other disciplines, especially chemistry, biology and,
quite recently, economics. Several reasons account for this:
presumably the most impor- tant one lies in the fact that, whatever
the specific problem, model or material concerned, the same basic
mathematical features are always involved. In this way, a general
phenomenology has emerged which, unlike thermodynamics, is no
longer depen- dent upon the details or specifics: what largely
prevails is the nonlinear charac- ter of the underlying dynamics.
Perhaps we are witnessing the emergence of a "non- linear physics"
- in a way similar to the birth of "quantum physics" in the twen-
ties - a physics which deals with the general behaviour of systems,
whatever they are or may be. Over the past fifteen years, chemical
systems evolving sufficiently far from equilibrium have proved to
be particularly well fitted to experimental research on nonlinear
behaviour: oscillation, multistability, birhythmicity, chaotic
evolution, spatial self-organization and hysteresis are displayed
by chemical reactions whose number is growing each year. In this
volume are collected the lectures, communica- tions and posters
(abstracts) presented at an international meeting entitled:
"Non-Equilibrium Dynamics in Chemical Systems", held in Bordeaux
(France), Septem- ber 3 rd-lth, 1984.
