The course is aimed at giving a theoretical and computational background for the comprehension and study of self-organization phenomena in far-from-equilibrium systems.
At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to: recognize feedback mechanisms; apply the stability theory for dynamical systems to predict possible spatio-temporal regimes of a given system (in particular oscillations and multistability); model and simulate numerically complex kinetics and processes where the reaction is coupled to transport phenomena.
