Noise in Nonlinear Dynamical Systems: Volume 2, Theory of Noise Induced Processes in Special Applications

摘要: Nature is inherently noisy and nonlinear. It in the sense that all macroscopic systems are subject to fluctuations of their environments also internal fluctuations. nonlinear restoring force on a system displaced from equilibrium does not usually vary linearly with size displacement. To calculate properties stochastic (noisy) general extremely difficult, although considerable progress has now been made, particularly during past two decades. The three volumes make up Noise dynamical comprise collection specially written authoritative reviews aspects subject, representative major practitioners field. anticipated this work will help stimulate new research, it be value those entering or already working field by bringing together experimental theoretical tools needed. books interest only researchers statistical physics, but people relevant areas chemistry, engineering biology. many other branches science technology. second volume applies theory Volume 1 calculation influence noise variety contexts. These include quantum mechanics, condensed matter, induced transitions, escape processes transition probabilities, periodic potentials, discrete systems, symmetry-breaking transition, optics.
