Forced Symmetry Breaking: Theory and Applications

  • Chapter
Pattern Formation in Continuous and Coupled Systems

Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications ((IMA,volume 115))

Abstract

In this paper we want to present some ideas concerning the behavior of equivariant systems under small perturbations of their symmetry. We will touch these questions, discuss some applications and provide references to the literature. These references include details of the mathematical issues as well as further potential applications.
