Description
Presents concepts of chaotic systems for researchers and graduate students in statistical mechanics and chaos.
About the Author
Patrizia Castiglione is a Researcher at the Institut des Nanosciences de Paris. Her main research topics are dynamical systems theory, quantum and classic chaos, turbulence, and the physics of colours applied to the study of artwork. Massimo Falcioni is a Researcher at the University of Rome 'Sapienza'. His research focuses on elementary particle physics, dynamical systems and statistical mechanics. Annick Lesne is a Researcher at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques. Her research lies in renormalization methods for dynamical systems, non equilibrium statistical physics, and applications of dynamical systems theory and statistical mechanics to biological systems. Angelo Vulpiani is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Rome "Sapienza", and is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. His research interests are statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, turbulence, transport and reaction-diffusion in fluids.
Reviews
'This is an excellent book written in highly polished fashion by four experts in the fields of dynamical systems and statistical mechanics. ... discussions are clear and forthright and no attempt is made to obfuscate or to hide things under a rug ... This is an excellent book for experts in the field and would provide a provocative textbook for graduate students. I couldn't find any typos or misstatements ...' Journal of Statistical Physics
