Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long Range Interactions: 602 (Lecture Notes in Physics, 602) - Softcover

 
9783642079283: Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long Range Interactions: 602 (Lecture Notes in Physics, 602)

Synopsis

Properties of systems with long range interactions are still poorly understood despite being of importance in most areas of physics. The present volume introduces and reviews the effort of constructing a coherent thermodynamic treatment of such systems by combining tools from statistical mechanics with concepts and methods from dynamical systems. Analogies and differences between various systems are examined by considering a large range of applications, with emphasis on Bose--Einstein condensates. Written as a set of tutorial reviews, the book will be useful for both the experienced researcher as well as the nonexpert scientist or postgraduate student.
