Nonlinear models for global star formation: equilibrium and catastrophe
Description
In the models discussed, the essential feature is the nonlinear nature of the star formation process. The author first provides a very quick overview of nonlinear dynamical systems as they relate to galaxies and then outlines an application of catastrophe theory to the equilibrium and the evolution of disk systems.
