Nonlinear Waves in Active Media: An Introduction

  • Conference paper
Nonlinear Waves in Active Media

Part of the book series: Research Reports in Physics ((RESREPORTS))

Abstract

The paper is meant as an introduction to the present volume. The ideas generated before and after the meeting (Euromech 241, Nonlinear Waves in Active Media) are briefly analysed. The names of the authors pointed out in the text are given as examples and do not form a list of special values.
