We present here the lectures and a selection of the seminars given at the Ninth International Workshop on Instabilities and Nonequilibrium Structures which took place in Vifiadel Mar, Chile, in December 2001. The Workshop was organized by Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas y Matematicas, Universidad de Chile, Instituto de Fisica of Universidad Cat6lica de Valparaiso, Centro de Fisica No Lineal y Sistemas Complejos de Santiago and Facultad de Ingenieria, Universidad de los Andes, which starting from this year joins the other institutions in the coorganization ofthe Workshop. The organizers would like to express their gratitude to the following sponsors: Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas y Matematicas de la Universidad de Chile, Instituto de Fisica de la Universidad Cat6lica de Valparaiso, Facultad de Ingenieria de la Universidad de los Andes, Centro de Fisica No Lineal y Sistemas Complejos de Santiago, Academia Chilena de Ciencias, Ministere Francais des Affaires Etrangeres, CONICYT (Comisi6n Nacional de Investigaci6n Cientifica y Tecno16gicade Chile) and Departamento Tecnico de Investigaci6n y de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad de Chile.Enrique Tirapegui PREFACE This book consists of two parts, the first one has three lectures written by Professors H. R. Brand, M. Moreau and L. S. Tuckerman. H. R. Brand gives an overview about reorientation and undulation instabilities in liquid crystals, M. Moreau presents recent results on biased tracer diffusion in lattice gases, finally, L. S. Tuckerman summarizes some numerical methods used in bifurcation problems.
