The main objectives of this book are to introduce a general principle of dynamic transitions for dissipative systems, to establish a systematic dynamic transition theory, and to explore the physical implications of applications of the theory to a range of problems in the nonlinear sciences. The basic philosophy of the theory is to search for a complete set of transition states, and the general principle states that dynamic transitions of all dissipative systems can be classified into three categories: continuous, catastrophic and random. The audience for this book includes advanced graduate students and researchers in mathematics and physics as well as in other related fields. 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 676 $a515.353 700 $aMa$b Tian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0423839 702 $aWang$b Shouhong 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300146203321 996 $aPhase Transition Dynamics$92500665 997 $aUNINA
