Notions like bifurcations, attractors, chaos, fractals, etc. have proved to be useful in explaining the world around us, be it natural or artificial. However, much of our everyday understanding is still based on linearity, i. e. on the additivity and the proportionality. The larger the excitation, the larger the response-this seems to be carved in a stone tablet. The real world is not always reacting this way and the additivity is simply lost. The most convenient way to describe such a phenomenon is to use a mathematical term-nonlinearity. The importance of this notion, i. e. the importance of being nonlinear is nowadays more and more accepted not only by the scientific community but also globally. The recent success of nonlinear dynamics is heavily biased towards temporal characterization widely using nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Nonlinear spatio-temporal processes, i. e. nonlinear waves are seemingly much more complicated because they are described by nonlinear partial differential equations. The richness of the world may lead in this case to c | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | Mathematica; continuum mechanics; dynamics; mechanics; modeling; nonlinear wave; soliton; partial different | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-8891-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4833-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-8891-1Series ISSN 0927-4529 | issn_series | 0927-4529 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1997 |
