The investigation of the properties of nonlinear systems is one of
the fast deve loping areas of physics. In condensed matter physics
this 'terra incognita' is approached from various starting points
such as phase transitions and renormali zation group theory,
nonlinear models, statistical mechanics and others. The study of
the mutual interrelations of these disciplines is important in
developing uni fying methods and models towards a better
understanding of nonlinear systems. The present book collects the
lectures and seminars delivered at the workshop on "Statics and
Dynamics of Nonlinear Systems" held at the Centre for SCientific
Culture "Ettore Majorana." in Erice;. Italy, July 1 to 11, 1983, in
the framework of the International School of Materials Science and
Technology. Experts and young researchers came together to discuss
nonlinear phenomena in condensed matter physics. The book is
divided into five parts, each part containing a few general artic
les introducing the subject, followed by related specialized
papers. The first part deals with basic properties of nonlinear
systems including an introduction to the general theoretical
methods. Contrfbutions to the nonlinear aspects of phase
transitions are collected in the second part. In the third part
properties of incommensurate systems are discussed. Here, competing
interactions lead to charge-density waves, soliton lattices and
other complex structures. Another point of special interest,
illustrated in the fourth part, is the 'chaotic' be havior of
various systems such as Josephson junctions and discrete lattices."
