Publisher's Synopsis

Nonlinear dynamics and chaos pervade dynamical problems on all astrophysical scales, ranging from the sun and solar system to galaxies and cosmology. This volume, the 13th in a series devoted to problems in nonlinear astronomy and physics, presents the work of 18 senior scientists from around the world as well as that of several postdoctoral associates to honour their mentor and colleague George Contopoulos, a seminal figure in this area of astrophysical research. Some of the topics considered are plasma physics, accelerator dynamics, several formal problems in nonlinear dynamics and several applied to astronomical problems on cosmology, accretion phenomena, and the structure and evolution of galaxies.
