Abstract:
For the description of complex dynamics of open systems an approach is given by different concepts of majorization (order structure). Discrete diffusion processes with both invariant object number and sink or source can be represented by the development of Young diagrams on lattices. As experimental example we investigated foam decay, dominated by sinks. The relevance of order structures for characterization of certain processes is discussed.
