Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung der verallgemeinerten Langevin-Gleichungen zur Beschreibung nichtlinearen Verhaltens verschiedenartigster Systeme. Besonders ausführlich werden die Grundlagen der Hydrodynamik von Fluiden behandelt. Daneben gibt der Autor aber auch den Grundbegriffen der Linear-Response-Theorie und Kinetik ausreichend breiten Raum.
