Non-Linear Physics and Out of Equilibrium Systems. NOLIN

Theoretical Nonlinear Science

Spatially extended non-linear systems are typically described by partial differential equations. It permits the study of linear instabilities and different types of pattern formation in such non-linear systems. The combination of non-linear terms with different instabilities together with spatial interactions may produce novel mechanisms of pattern formation. Multi-scale problems where two instabilities appear simultaneously in a co-dimensional point at different scales can be studied and compared with experimental results in non-linear chemical systems, e.g. the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction or the catalytic CO oxidation in metal surfaces.
