Nonlinear Waves in Dispersive and Dissipative Systems (Monographs and Surveys in Pure and Applied Mathematics)

This monograph investigates a wide range of problems where nonlinear wave phenomena play a crucial role, for instance in nonlinear acoustics, fluid dynamics, plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics. The aim of the book is to deliver a general approach to the investigation of complicated mechanical systems affected by the action of different external forces, taking into account the intrinsic coupling of internal wave fields.
