Non-Equilibrium Processes
by Sidney Redner
Publisher: Boston University 2007
Description:
The author illustrates non-equilibrium statistical physics by presenting a number of current and paradigmatic examples of systems that are out of equilibrium, and elucidates, as completely as possible, the range of techniques available to solve these systems.
