Twentieth-century research in the field of chemical pattern
formation saw extraordinary progress due to the pathbreaking
contributions of Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine and his co-workers.
Evidence exists that the dissipative structures studied by
Prigogine and his colleagues may play a dominant role in the
processes of self-organization of biological systems, the
fundamental phenomena that govern all life forms. Brought together
in this valuable volume are topical papers from the this research.
Important aspects of nonlinear chemical pattern
formation-dissipative structures-in chemical, biochemical, and
geological systems are surveyed by leading scientists in the field
of nonlinear chemistry. Topics covered include experimental
observations of pattern formation in a variety of systems,
bifurcation theory and analysis of nonlinear chemical rate
equations, and the stochastic theory of nonlinear chemical
reactions. Of particular interest are the studies of the effects of
electric fields on the determination of nonequilibrium states of
chemical systems.
