{"product_id":"b001cjmxd0","title":"A Guide to First-Passage Processes (Volume 0)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst-passage properties underlie a wide range of stochastic processes, such as diffusion-limited growth, neuron firing, and the triggering of stock options. 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":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52834563457240,"sku":"YSL56341","price":38.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/61k-4fRjhBL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793260326","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b001cjmxd0","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
