The nonlinear theory of oscillating systems brings new aspects into
the study of variable stars. Beyond the comparison of linear
periods and the estimate of stability, the appearance and
disappearance of possible modes can be studied in detail. While
nonlinearity in stellar pulsations is not a very complicated
concept, it generally requires extensive and sometimes so
phisticated numerical studies. Therefore, the development of
appropriate computational tools is required for applications of
nonlinear theory to real phenomena in variable stars. Taking trends
in variable star studies into consideration, the International
Astronomical Union organized a colloquium for the nonlinear
phenomena of variable stars at Mito, Japan in 1992. The colloquium
served to give an overview of the new frontiers of variable star
studies and to encourage further development of this field. The
colloquium covered the fundamental theory, interesting
observational facts, and the numerical modeling. The publication of
the proceedings was somewhat delayed since one of the editors, M.
T., was overwhelmed by administrative work. We are sorry that the
excellent reviews of Drs. H. :Mori, M. Sano, and K. Makishima
cannot be found in the proceedings. We also miss the summary given
by Dr. W. W. Dziembowski. Throughout the editing procedure Dr. Y.
Tanaka of Ibaraki University kindly helped us. Because of the
unfortunate delay of the publication~ the significance of several
papers may be affected. Even so, we believe that the papers are
useful to variable star researchers because of their scientific
importance.
