• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of lectures treats the dynamics of open systems with a strong emphasis on dissipation phenomena related to dynamical chaos. This research area is very broad, covering topics such as nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, environment-system coupling (decoherence) and applications of Markov semi-groups to name but a few. The book addresses not only experienced researchers in the field but also nonspecialists from related areas of research, postgraduate students wishing to enter the field and lecturers searching for advanced textbook material.

Rezensionen

"The value of this volume is that it helps give students and other researchers a view of 'the big picture' in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics." (The Physicist, 40/5, 2003)
