Description

Zusammenfassung This book describes advances in the application of chaos theory to classical scattering and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics generally! and to transport by deterministic diffusion in particular. The author presents the basic tools of dynamical systems theory! and these are applied to chaotic scattering and to transport in systems near equilibrium and maintained out of equilibrium. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Dynamical systems and their linear stability; 2. Topological chaos; 3. Liouvillian dynamics; 4. Probabalistic chaos; 5. Chaotic scattering; 6. Scattering theory of transport; 7. Hydrodynamic modes of diffusion; 8. Systems maintained out of equilibrium; 9. Noises as microscopic chaos.
