The Conference on Statistical Physics, High Energy, Condensed Matter and Mathematical Physics was held in honor of Professor Chen-Ning Yang's 85th birthday in Singapore in Oct-Nov 2007.
Universal scaling behavior is an attractive feature in statistical physics because a wide range of models can be classified purely in terms of their collective behavior due to a diverging correlation length.
This unique volume provides a comprehensive overview of exactly solved models in statistical mechanics by looking at the scientific achievements of F Y Wu in this and related fields, which span four decades of his career.
This volume presents a collection of original and peer-reviewed articles related with the applications of Statistical Physics dedicated to Professor Dr Leopoldo Garcia-Colin, in commemoration of his 80th birthday in 2010.
This book covers in great detail the Rouse-segment-based molecular theories in polymer viscoelasticity - the Rouse theory and the extended reptation theory (based on the framework of the Doi-Edwards theory) - that have been shown to explain experimental results in a consistently quantitative way.
Pendulum is the simplest nonlinear system, which, however, provides the means for the description of different phenomena in Nature that occur in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, communications, economics and sociology.
Nonadiabatic transition is a highly multidisciplinary concept and phenomenon, constituting a fundamental mechanism of state and phase changes in various dynamical processes of physics, chemistry and biology, such as molecular dynamics, energy relaxation, chemical reaction, and electron and proton transfer.
A small army of physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers has joined forces to attack a classic problem, the "e;reversibility paradox"e;, with modern tools.
The principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will benefit from replacing the unfortunate, misleading and mysterious term "e;entropy"e; with a more familiar, meaningful and appropriate term such as information, missing information or uncertainty.
This book highlights the estimate of epidemic characteristics for different countries/regions in the world with the use of known SIR (susceptible-infected-removed) model for the dynamics of the epidemic, the known exact solution of the linear differential equations and statistical approach developed before.
This book is the fifth volume of papers on advanced problems of phase transitions and critical phenomena, the first four volumes appeared in 2004, 2007, 2012, and 2015.
Our original objective in writing this book was to demonstrate how the concept of the equation of motion of a Brownian particle - the Langevin equation or Newtonian-like evolution equation of the random phase space variables describing the motion - first formulated by Langevin in 1908 - so making him inter alia the founder of the subject of stochastic differential equations, may be extended to solve the nonlinear problems arising from the Brownian motion in a potential.
