Synergetics is the quantitative study of multicomponent systems
that exhibit nonlinear dynamics and cooperativity. This book
specifically considers basic models of the nonlinear dynamics of
molecular systems and discusses relevant applications in biological
physics and the polymer sciences.
Emphasis is placed on specific solutions to the dynamical equations
that correspond to the coherent formation of spatial-temporal
structures, such as solitons, kinks and breathers, in particular.
The emergence of these patterns in molecular structures provides a
variety of information on their structural properties and plays a
significant part in energy transfer processes, topological defects,
dislocations, and related structure transitions.
Real media, in which solitons take the form of solitary waves, are
also considered. In this context, the formation of nonlinear waves
in a continuous medium described by nonlinear equations is
associated with spontaneous breaking of the local symmetry of the
homogeneous system, which produces a range of interesting
phenomena.
A particular feature of this text is its combination of analytic
and computational strategies to tackle difficult nonlinear problems
at the molecular level of matter.
