SYPN: Symposium Patterns in Nature: Origins, Universality, Functions

SYPN 1: Patterns in Nature: Origins, Universality, Functions

Montag, 1. April 2019, 15:00–17:45, H1

Pattern formation and self-organization in nature fascinates both the layman and reseachers from many disciplines. Each type of self-organized pattern may occur in many different systems, but the fascinating driving mechanisms of self-organized (mostly dissipative) pattern can be as diverse as the systems in which they occur (origins). This raises among others the question about fundamental and common universal properties of patterns shared by different systems - from small cells and the collective behavior of active colloidal particles up to ecological or fluid dynamical (geological) scales? Which functions play universal nonlinear properties of patterns in nature? Are there common strategies for controlling spatio-termporal patterns?
