Mathematical Theory of Nonequilibrium Steady States On the Frontier of Probability and Dynamical Systems

This volume provides a systematic mathematical exposition of the conceptual problems of nonequilibrium statistical physics, such as entropy production, irreversibility, and ordered phenomena. Markov chains, diffusion processes, and hyperbolic dynamical systems are used as mathematical models of phys...
