Download or read book Memory Function Approaches to Stochastic Problems in Condensed Matter, Volume 62 written by Myron W. Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international group of scholars presents a very important development in the theory of relaxation processes. For the first time, the basic equations of motion have been put into a form suitable for computation of a variety of observable phenomena in several different disciplines. This book begins with a description of the foundations of the memory function techniques, of the adiabatic elimination procedure and of the mathematics of continued fractions. It also covers depth relaxation phenomena in several areas of physics, chemistry, biology, electronic engineering, spectroscopy, computer simulation and astronomy.
