Noise-Induced Transitions Theory and Applications in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

This classic text, an often-requested reprint, develops and explains the foundations of noise-induced processes. At its core is a self-contained, textbook-style presentation of the elements of probability theory, of the theory of Markovian diffusion processes and of the theory of stochastic differen...
