Workshop on Instabilities and non-equilibrium structures, Santiago, Chile 1993 |
This Workshop is a regular meeting taking place in Viña del Mar, Chile, since December 1985. To our knowledge, it is the first regular international meeting of Physics taking place in Chile every two years. Furthermore, it is the oldest meeting in South America on Nonlinear Physics and Statistical Mechanics. It has played a major role in the development of Physics in Chile, especially in the area of Nonlinear Physics and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics. Since the first Workshop, we focused in a meeting having an important pedagogical component. "We can say today that we have been successful given the great development of Nonlinear Physics in Chile," Enrique Tirapegui 2017. |

The Proceedings have been published regularly with Kluwer Academic Publishers (Holland) in the Series on Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems of the Centro de Física No Lineal y Sistemas Complejos de Santiago (CFNL). The founder and Director of the Workshop is Enrique Tirapegui (1940-2020), who is also the founder of the Non-Linear Group in "la Escuela de Ingeniería y Ciencias de la Facultad de Física y Matemática," the University of Chile and Founder and Director of the CFNL, with the help of Professor Danilo Villarroel of University Federico Santa Maria. Since the third edition, the workshop has been organized in collaboration with Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Walter Zeller (until 1995), and Javier Martínez, main organizers from PUCV side. The Proceedings of the 11th Session appeared in a select issue of the International Journal of Bifurcations and Chaos, and the Proceedings of the 12th Session were published in a special issue of the European Journal of Physics D. The Proceedings of the 16th Session session have been published. in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. The proceedings of the 17th session have been published in Chaos journal. The most outstanding works of the 18th session have been published in Chaos, Soliton & Fractal journal. |

Pierre Coullet, XVI Workshop on Instabilities
and Non-equilibrium structures, Chile 2015
 |
In a previous Workshops deserve a special mention since they were in honor of the 60 years of two world known scientists in the area which have been essential in the creation and the development of this meeting: the 12th one in 2009 in honor of Professor Pierre Coullet and the 14th in 2013 in honor of Professor Marc Etienne Brachet. 16th Session has a very special character since it appears on the occasion of the 50th birthday of seminal manuscripts of Dissipative Structures in Chemical Systems by I. Prigogine; in which Prigogine establishes the basis of the concept of dissipative structures.The 17th Session was on the occasion of Enrique Tirapegui 80th birthday. The last Session was has a very special character since it appears on the memory of Professor Enrique Tirapegui (1940-2020). |
