An Introduction to Chaos in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics (Cambridge Lecture Notes in Physics) Book

This book will introduce readers to the applications of ideas in chaotic dynamics to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and to the use of techniques in statistical mechanics for calculating quantities that are important for an understanding of the chaotic behavior of fluid systems. Although a background in statistical mechanics on the part of the readers is assumed, the basic ideas needed here are reviewed in the early chapters. The basic concepts of dynamical systems theory are introduced through simple examples, and advanced topics such as SRB and Gibbs measures are explained.Read More

  • Product Description

    This book provides an introduction to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics applied to ideas in chaotic dynamics. The author illustrates how techniques in statistical mechanics can be used to calculate quantities that are essential to understanding the chaotic behavior of fluid systems. Beginning with important background information, the volume goes on to introduce basic concepts of dynamical systems theory through simple examples before explaining advanced topics such as SRB and Gibbs measures. It will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, nonlinear science, theoretical physics, mathematics, and theoretical chemistry.
