"PATTERNS AND WAVES: THE THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS"

by Peter Grindrod CBE CMath

This is a book for teaching and research: it is all about reaction-diffusion equations.

1st edition 1991
2nd edition 1996

Now you can buy the new author's own paperback edition offset from the Oxford University Press 2nd Edition, approx 280 pages.

Book Description

This textbook is concerned with the highly topical area of reaction-diffusion equations. This popular textbook provides a compendium of useful techniques for the analysis of such equations and shows how they find application in a variety of settings, notably in pattern formation and nonplanar wave-like structures. New to the second edition, is a chapter on geochemical systems with applications to environmental modelling problems. This is an ideal introduction to the subject for graduate students as well as those mathematicians and scientists whose work touches on these topics.

Reviews of the Previous Edition:

"This book is a joy to read and is to be highly recommended both as a course book at the beginning graduate level and for those mathematicians, chemists and biologists who require a working knowledge of reaction-diffusion processes in their work." Zbl. Math.

"An excellent introduction into this subject...Anybody who wants to learn about reaction-diffusion equations, or wants to teach an interesting course on it, should use it." J Hobauer (Wein).

"Grindrod's choice of topics and examples is excellent. It is impressive that he is able to present so much material in his relatively short book and still maintain a relaxed style." David Terman (Siam Review).

"This book is a very nice introduction into a rich and vast field which has developed tremendously in the last twenty years................. The author has a style which makes the book a pleasure to read and he has shown great skill in the choice and presentation of examples" Zentrallblatt fur Mathematik und ihre Grengebiete 867/97
