Stochastic Equations through the Eye of the Physicistby Valery I. Klyatskin
Elsevier 2005; US$ 320.00Fluctuating parameters appear in a variety of physical systems and phenomena. They typically come either as random forces/sources, or advecting velocities, or media (material) parameters, like refraction index, conductivity, diffusivity, etc. The well known example of Brownian particle suspended in fluid and subjected to random molecular bombardment laid the foundation for modern stochastic calculus and statistical physics. Other important examples include turbulent transport and diffusion of particle-tracers (pollutants), or continuous densities (''oil slicks''), wave propagation and scattering in randomly inhomogeneous media, for instance light or sound propagating in the turbulent atmosphere. Such models naturally render to statistical... more...
Stochastic Processes in Physics and Chemistryby N.G. Van Kampen
Elsevier 2007; US$ 107.00The third edition of Van Kampen's standard work has been revised and updated. The main difference with the second edition is that the contrived application of the quantum master equation in section 6 of chapter XVII has been replaced with a satisfactory treatment of quantum fluctuations. Apart from that throughout the text corrections have been made and a number of references to later developments have been included. From the recent textbooks the following are the most relevant. C.W.Gardiner, Quantum Optics (Springer, Berlin 1991) D.T. Gillespie, Markov Processes (Academic Press, San Diego 1992) W.T. Coffey, Yu.P.Kalmykov, and J.T.Waldron, The Langevin Equation (2nd edition, World Scientific, 2004) * Comprehensive coverage of fluctuations... more...
Stochastic Analysis And Mathematical Physics (samp/anestoc 2002)by Rolando Rebolledo; Jorge Rezende; Jean-Claude Zambrini
World Scientific 2004; US$ 101.00The book collects a series of papers centered on two main streams: Feynman path integral approach to Quantum Mechanics and statistical mechanics of quantum open systems. Key authors discuss the state-of-the-art within their fields of expertise. In addition, the volume includes a number of contributed papers with new results, which have been thoroughly refereed. The contributions in this volume highlight emergent research in the area of stochastic analysis and mathematical physics, focusing, in particular on Feynman functional integral approach and, on the other hand, in quantum probability. The book is addressed to an audience of mathematical physicists, as well as specialists in probability theory, stochastic analysis and operator algebras.... more...
Interacting Particle Systemsby Thomas M. Liggett
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 69.95Presents a treatment of a class of random processes. more...
Neutron Fluctuationsby Imre Pazsit; Lenard Pal
Elsevier 2007; US$ 205.00The transport of neutrons in a multiplying system is an area of branching processes with a clear formalism. This book presents an account of the mathematical tools used in describing branching processes, which are then used to derive a large number of properties of the neutron distribution in multiplying systems with or without an external source. In the second part of the book, the theory is applied to the description of the neutron fluctuations in nuclear reactor cores as well as in small samples of fissile material. The question of how to extract information about the system under study is discussed. In particular the measurement of the reactivity of subcritical cores, driven with various Poisson and non-Poisson (pulsed) sources, and the... more...
Psychiatrische Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege - Mental Health Care (German Edition)by M. Gaßmann; W. Marschall; J. Utschakowski
Springer 2006; US$ 29.95Der Mensch ist mehr als die Summe seiner Organe. Daher benötigen Pflegende umfassende Kenntnisse über psychische, somatische, soziale und rechtliche Aspekte der psychiatrischen Pflege. Diese vermittelt das vorliegende praxisbezogene Grundlagenwerk. Es beinhaltet Grundlagen und spezifisches Fachwissen für alle Bereiche und Berufsfelder der Psychiatrie. Empfehlenswert u.a. als Lehrbuch für Teilnehmer einer Fachweiterbildung. Neueren Entwicklungen des Gesundheitssystems entsprechend, sind alle Bereiche der Versorgung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Gesundheitsförderung integriert. more...
The Random-Cluster Modelby Geoffrey Grimmett
Springer 2006; US$ 125.00The random-cluster model is a key tool in the mathematical study of ferromagnetism. This study includes accounts of the subcritical and supercritical phases, with statements of important open problems. It covers the first-order (discontinuous) phase transition, and applications of the random-cluster method to other models of statistical physics. more...
Stochastic Resonanceby Mark D. McDonnell; Nigel G. Stocks; Charles E. M. Pearce; Derek Abbott
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 132.00Addresses aspects of stochastic quantization for researchers in fields from computational neuroscience through to electronic engineering. more...
Stochastic Processes in Physics and Chemistryby N.G. Van Kampen
Elsevier 1992; US$ 77.95This new edition of Van Kampen's standard work has been completely revised and updated. Three major changes have also been made. The Langevin equation receives more attention in a separate chapter in which non-Gaussian and colored noise are introduced. Another additional chapter contains old and new material on first-passage times and related subjects which lay the foundation for the chapter on unstable systems. Finally a completely new chapter has been written on the quantum mechanical foundations of noise. The references have also been expanded and updated. more...
Electromagnetic Scattering from Random Mediaby Timothy R. Field
Oxford University Press, UK 2008; US$ 110.00- ;The book develops the dynamical theory of scattering from random media from first principles. Its key findings are to characterize the time evolution of the scattered field in terms of stochastic differential equations, and to illustrate this framework more...
