Based on lectures delivered to the Seminar on Operator Algebras at Oakland University during the Winter semesters of 1985 and 1986, these notes are a detailed exposition of recent work of A.
The papers included in this proceedings volume are mostly original research papers, dealing with life-span of waves, nonlinear interaction of waves, and various applications to fluid mechanics.
Entropy inequalities, correlation functions, couplingsbetween stochastic processes are powerful techniques whichhave been extensively used to give arigorous foundation tothe theory of complex, many component systems and to itsmany applications in a variety of fields as physics,biology, population dynamics, economics, .
Nonlinear science is by now a well established field of research at the interface of many traditional disciplines and draws on the theoretical concepts developed in physics and mathematics.
The interplay between the spectral theory of Schr|dingeroperators and probabilistic considerations forms the maintheme of these notes, written for the non-specialist readerand intended to provide a brief and elementaryintroductionto this field.
A workshop on Singularities, Bifuraction and Dynamics was held at Warwick in July 1989, as part of a year-long symposium on Singularity Theory and its applications.
These proceedings contain original (refereed) research articles by specialists from many countries, on a wide variety of aspects of Navier-Stokes equations.
These proceedings of the workshop on quantum probability held in Heidelberg, September 26-30, 1988 contains a representative selection of research articles on quantum stochastic processes, quantum stochastic calculus, quantum noise, geometry, quantum probability, quantum central limit theorems and quantum statistical mechanics.
The main theme of the meeting was to illustrate the use of stochastic processes in the study of topological problems in quantum physics and statistical mechanics.
Interesting and new specific results of current theoretical and experimental work in various fields at the frontier of particle scattering and X-ray diffraction are reviewed in this volume.
In the last two decades extraordinary progress in the experimental handling of single quantum objects has spurred theoretical research into investigating the coupling between quantum systems and their environment.
The behaviour of many complex materials extends over time- and lengthscales well beyond those that can normally be described using standard molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
Causal relations, and with them the underlying null cone or conformal structure, form a basic ingredient in all general analytical studies of asymptotically flat space-time.
The morphology of spatially stuctured materials is a rapidly growing field of research at the interface of statistical physics, applied mathematics and materials science.
Initially a subfield of solid state physics, the study of mesoscopic systems has evolved over the years into a vast field of research in its own right.
The need to predict, understand, and optimize complex physical and c- mical processes occurring in and around the earth, such as groundwater c- tamination, oil reservoir production, discovering new oil reserves, and ocean hydrodynamics, has been increasingly recognized.
The idea of editing the present volume in the Lecture Notes in Physics series arosewhileorganizingthe"e;ConferenceonIrreversibleQuantumDynamics"e;that took place at The Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy, from July 29 to August 2, 2002.
"e;Granular Gases"e; are diluted many-particle systems in which the mean free path of the particles is much larger than the typical particle size, and where particle collisions occur dissipatively.
The amount of cosmological data has dramatically increased in the past decades due to an unprecedented development of telescopes, detectors and satellites.
The Silvri Workshop was divided into a short summer school and a working conference, producing lectures and research papers on recent developments in stochastic analysis on Wiener space.
