This book provides a unified presentation of first-passage processes, which highlights its interrelations with electrostatics and the resulting powerful consequences. The author begins with a modern presentation of fundamental theory including the connection between the occupation and first-passage probabilities of a random walk, and the connection to electrostatics and current flows in resistor networks. The consequences of this theory are then developed for simple, illustrative geometries including the finite and semi-infinite intervals, fractal networks, spherical geometries and the wedge. Various applications are presented including neuron dynamics, self-organized criticality, diffusion-limited aggregation, the dynamics of spin systems, and the kinetics of diffusion-controlled reactions. Examples discussed include neuron dynamics, self-organized criticality, kinetics of spin systems, and stochastic resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940742922528,"sku":"NEW0521036917","price":81.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-guide-to-first-passage-processes-0521036917","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
