This book contains the invited papers of an international symposium
on synergetics; which was held at Schlol3 Elmau, Bavaria, FRG,
April 27 to May 1, 1981. At our previous meetings on synergetics
the self-organized formation of structures in quite different
disciplines stood in the foreground of our interest. More recently
it has turned out that phenomena characterized by the word "chaos"
appear in various disciplines, and again far-reaching analogies in
the behavior of quite different systems become visible. Therefore
this meeting was devoted not only to problems connected with the
occurrence of ordered structures but also to most recent results
obtained in the study of chaotic motion. In the strict mathematical
sense we are dealing here with deterministic chaos, i. e. ,
irregular motion described by deter ministic equations. While in
this relatively young fieJd of research computer ex periments and
computer simulations predominated in the past, there now seems to
be a change of trend, namely to study certain regular features of
chaos by analytical metbods. I think considerable progress has been
achieved in this respect quite recently. This theoretical work is
paralleled by a number of very beautiful experi ments in different
fields, e. g. , fluid dynamics, solid-state physics, and chemistry.
For the first time at this kind of meeting we have included plasma
physics, which presents a number of most fascinating problems with
respect to instabilities, formation of structures, and related
phenomena.
