Classification of Autosolitons and Phenomena of Self-Organization

In this chapter we consider in brief the connection between the characteristics of active systems and the possible types of autosolitons (Sect. 10.1) and self-organization phenomena (Sect. 10.2) on the basis of our previous discussion and the general theory developed in Part II of the monograph. The results are summarized in Table 3 which offers quick reference as to the classification of systems, the types of autosolitons and other dissipative structures and autowaves, and the effects of self-organization (rearrangement of dissipative structures). For the reader’s convenience, Table 3 also contains references to chapters devoted to this or that particular effect.
