Anomalous Transport: Foundations and Applications


book coverThis multi-author reference work provides a unique introduction to the currently emerging, highly interdisciplinary field of those transport processes that cannot be described by using standard methods of statistical mechanics. It comprehensively summarizes topics ranging from mathematical foundations of anomalous dynamics to the most recent experiments in this field. In so doing, this monograph extracts and emphasizes common principles and methods from many different disciplines while providing up-to-date coverage of this new field of research, considering such diverse applications as plasma physics, glassy material, cell science, and socio-economic aspects.  The book will be of interest to both theorists and experimentalists in nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics and stochastic processes. It also forms an ideal starting point for graduate students moving into this area. 18 chapters written by internationally recognized experts in this field provide in-depth introductions to the following fundamental aspects of anomalous transport:

book review by G.H. Weiss, J.Stat.Phys. 135, 389 (2009): ``I’m not familiar with all of the topics discussed, and learned a lot, if not all of the subtleties inherent in them, as I’m sure will the reader.''
