Statistical Thermodynamics And Stochastic Theory Of Nonequilibrium Systems

This volume covers the area of statistical physics - in particular statistical thermodynamics and stochastic theory of nonlinear systems far from equilibrium. Topics covered include: structures in excitable systems; reaction-diffusion systems, and nucleation phenomena in gases.

This book presents both the fundamentals and the major research topics in statistical physics of systems out of equilibrium. It summarizes different approaches to describe such systems on the thermodynamic and stochastic levels, and discusses a variety of areas including reactions, anomalous kinetics, and the behavior of self-propelling particles.
