The subject of nonlinear dynamics, instabilities, chaos, and turbulence is one of the major research areas of mathematics with applications to physics, engineering, biology, economics, and the social sciences. This book covers recent developments, such as the relation between temporal chaos and genuine turbulence. Topics covered include: Evolution and stability: basic concepts, Instability mechanisms, Thermal convection, Low-dimensional dynamical systems, Beyond periodic behavior, Characterization of temporal chaos,and Nonlinear dynamics in extended geometry: from observations to theory.
