Oct. 14, 1922, Kromeriz, then Czechoslovakia - Aug. 10, 2005, Berlin, Germany) Koutecky was a theoretical electrochemist, quantum chemist, solid state physicist (surfaces and chemisorption), and expert in the theory of clusters. He received his PhD in theoretical physics, was later a co-worker of -> Brdicka in Prague, and since 1967 professor of physical chemistry at Charles University, Prague. Since 1973 he was professor of physical chemistry at Freie Universitat, Berlin, Germany. Koutecky solved differential equations relevant to spherical -> diffusion, slow electrode reaction, - kinetic currents, -> catalytic currents, to currents controlled by nonlinear chemical reactions, and to combinations of these [i-v]. For a comprehensive review of his work on spherical diffusion and kinetic currents see [vi]. See also Koutecky-Levich plot.

In the frame of this weakly nonlinear theory the hexagons are the first to appear, subcritically on increasing the value of the bifurcation parameter /x, the hexagons become unstable with respect to stripes. Reversing the variation of /X allows one to recover the hexagonal structure but by undergoing an hysteresis loop. This is the universal hex-stripes competition scenario that comes up in many different fields of study. It is also that which is observed in the quasi-2D Turing experiments [20, 34] and in the theoretical analysis [35-39] and numerical simulations of most nonlinear chemical models [40-44]. 

Robert A. Brown is Warren K. Lewis Professor of Chemical Engineering and Provost at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his B.S. (1973) and M.S. (1975) from the University of Texas, Austin, and his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1979. His research area is chemical engineering with specialization in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena, crystal growth from the melt, microdefect formation in semiconductors and viscoelastic fluids, bifurcation theory applied to transitions in flow problems, and finite element methods for nonlinear transport problems. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

In 2009, Lems [7] has proposed a new fundamental thermodynamic principle that leads to a universal and strictly thermodynamic relationship between flows and forces. This relationship applies to chemical reactions, diffusion, electrical conduction, and heat conduction, is nonlinear but shows linear behavior close to the equilibrium state. The linear approximation is usually well justified for diffusion, and heat and electrical conduction.
