Stochastic Processes in Polymeric Fluids Tools and Examples for Developing Simulation Algorithms

This book consists of two strongly interweaved parts: the mathematical theory of stochastic processes and its applications to molecular theories of polymeric fluids. The comprehensive mathematical background provided in the first part should be equally useful in many other branches of engineering an...
