Description

A non-linear phase-coupling model is proposed for the evolution of galaxies with disk and halo components. A particular emphasis is given to the determination of the star formation rate; a simple hypothesis on the connection between spiral density wave and cloud phase generates a sequence of star formation histories, in close correspondence to the Hubble types. Two star burst mechanisms are also included
