Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and Its Applications ((IMA,volume 2))

Abstract

We shall describe several aspects of a general program dealing with oscillations in solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. The main problem is to describe the relationship between microscopic oscillations and their macroscopic averages, in terms of both the static structure and the dynamic behavior. One general framework is provided by the following setting.
