Produktbeschreibung

Leading research, perspectives, and analysis of dynamical systemsand irreversibility Edited by Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine and renownedauthority Stuart A. Rice, the Advances in Chemical Physics seriesprovides a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations in everyarea of the discipline. In a format that encourages the expressionof individual points of view, experts in the field presentcomprehensive analyses of subjects of interest. Volume 122 collectspapers from the XXI Solvay Conference on Physics, dedicated to theexploration of "Dynamical Systems and Irreversibility." IoannisAntoniou, Deputy Director of the International Solvay Institutesfor Physics and Chemistry, edits and assembles this cutting-edgeresearch, including articles such as "Non-Markovian Effects in theStandard Map," "Harmonic Analysis of Unstable Systems," "Age andAge Fluctuations in an Unstable Quantum System," and discussion ofmany more subjects. Advances in Chemical Physics remains thepremier venue for presentations of new findings in its field.
