It includes ideas from three major sources, namely standard soliton theory developed since the 1960s, nonlinear dynamics theory, and Prigogine's ideas of systems far from equilibrium. These three sources also correspond to the three component parts of this novel paradigm. This book explains the above principles in detail and gives the reader various examples from optics, biology and medicine. These include laser systems, optical transmission lines, cortical networks, models of muscle contraction, localized vegetation structures and waves in brain tissues. 410 0$aLecture notes in physics ;$v751. 606 $aSolitons 606 $aEnergy dissipation 615 0$aSolitons. 615 0$aEnergy dissipation. 676 $a530.124 702 $aAkhmediev$b Nail N. 702 $aAnkiewicz$b Adrian 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466706303316 996 $aDissipative solitons$9736216 997 $aUNISA
