Description

Statistical Dynamics Matter Out of Equilibrium by Radu Balescu explores the principles of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The book begins with an examination of classical dynamics, leading to irreversible kinetic equations and fluid mechanics. For simple systems, transport coefficients are determined by molecular properties. The second part of the book delves into complex systems that require a more extensive use of statistical concepts. Topics include continuous time random walks, non-Markovian diffusion processes, percolation and related critical phenomena, transport on fractal structures, and deterministic chaos. These "strange transport processes" are distinct from conventional diffusive transport. This comprehensive treatise on statistical mechanics provides valuable insights into the behavior of complex systems, making it a valuable resource for researchers and scholars in the field.
