This book is an introduction to a comprehensive and unified dynamic transition theory for dissipative systems and to applications of
the theory to a range of problems in the nonlinear sciences. 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.
