A fundamental and frequently cited book in two very exciting fields: pattern formation and synchronization of oscillators. Provides asymptotic methods that can be applied to the dynamics of self-oscillating fields of the reaction-diffusion type and of some related systems. Graduate level. 40 figures.... read more
