Description for Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions
Paperback. This book describes two main classes of non-equilibrium phase-transitions: static and dynamics of transitions into an absorbing state, and dynamical scaling in far-from-equilibrium relaxation behavior and ageing. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 398 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PHF; PHS; PHU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 21. Weight in Grams: 617.
"The career structure and funding of the universities [...] currently strongly d- courages academics and faculties from putting any investment into teaching - there are no career or ?nancial rewards in it. This is a great pity, because [...] it is the need toengage indialogue,and to makethings logicaland clear,that istheprimary defence against obscurantism and abstraction. " B. Ward-Perkins, The fall of Rome, Oxford (2005) This is the ?rst volume of a planned two-volume treatise on non-equilibrium phase transitions. While such a topic might sound rather special and a- demic, non-equilibrium critical phenomena occur in much wider contexts than their equilibrium ... Read more

Reviews for Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions
From the reviews: "The monograph concentrates on nonequilibrium phase transitions from fluctuating (ordered) states into so-called absorbing states, which can never be left by the system once reached. … Extended appendices (plus solutions of excercises and answers to problems) on specific models … make the book useful not only to scientists and lecturers, but also to advanced graduate students." ...
