Tóm tắt

This book presents simple interdisciplinary stochastic models meant as a gentle introduction to the field of non-equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the analysis of two-state models with cooperative effects and explores a variety of mathematical techniques to solve the master equations that govern these models. The models discussed are at the confluence of nanophysics, biology, mathematics, and the social science, and provide a pedagogical path toward understanding the complex dynamics of particle self-assembly with the tools of statistical physics.
