The study of phase transitions is among the most fascinating fields
in physics. Originally limited to transition phenomena in
equilibrium systems, this field has outgrown its classical confines
during the last two decades. The behavior of far from equilibrium
systems has received more and more attention and has been an
extremely active and productive subject of research for physicists,
chemists and biologists. Their studies have brought about a more
unified vision of the laws which govern self-organization processes
of physico-chemical and biological sys tems. A major achievement
has been the extension of the notion of phase transi tion to
instabilities which occur only in open nonlinear systems. The
notion of phase transition has been proven fruitful in apphcation
to nonequilibrium ins- bihties known for about eight decades, like
certain hydrodynamic instabilities, as well as in the case of the
more recently discovered instabilities in quantum optical systems
such as the laser, in chemical systems such as the
Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction and in biological systems. Even
outside the realm of natural sciences, this notion is now used in
economics and sociology. In this monograph we show that the notion
of phase transition can be extend ed even further. It apphes also
to a new class of transition phenomena which occur only in
nonequilibrium systems subjected to a randomly fluctuating en
vironment."
