Keywords:
Statistical mechanics is hugely successful when applied to physical systems at thermodynamic equilibrium; however, most natural phenomena occur in nonequilibrium conditions and more sophisticated techniques are required to address this increased complexity. This second edition presents a comprehensive overview of nonequilibrium statistical physics, covering essential topics such as Langevin equations, Lévy processes, fluctuation relations, transport theory, directed percolation, kinetic roughening, and pattern formation. The first part of the book introduces the underlying theory of nonequilibrium physics, the second part develops key aspects of nonequilibrium phase transitions, and the final part covers modern applications. A pedagogical approach has been adopted for the benefit of graduate students and instructors, with clear language and detailed figures used to explain the relevant models and experimental results. With the inclusion of original material and organizational changes throughout the book, this updated edition will be an essential guide for graduate students and researchers in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Recenzijas

Praise for the First Edition: 'The smart organizational choices mean that readers can get a feeling for the physical concepts involved and where to find more information. Committed students can work through the whole book, and less patient readers can concentrate on one or two chapters at a time. Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics will be welcomed both by students and researchers entering the field and by those who are familiar with some recent developments and would like to learn more about others.' Daan Frenkel, University of Cambridge, UK 'Since the publication of the first edition, the textbook by Livi and Politi has become an indispensable resource for my courses on advanced and nonequilibrium statistical physics. The carefully restructured and expanded second edition covers a wealth of new material, from fundamentals such as the Boltzmann equation and large deviation theory to the emerging field of stochastic thermodynamics and fluctuation relations. It will be highly appreciated by coming generations of students, teachers, and researchers.' Joachim Krug, University of Cologne, Germany 'This masterful work is a gateway to understanding the dynamic, often chaotic, and always fascinating world of nonequilibrium systems.' Giorgio Parisi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
