ReviewsVan Kampen has produced a superbly written, physically motivated introduction to the theory of stochastic processes. ... an excellent introduction to the use (and avoidance of abuse) of master equations. It should be in every physics and chemistry library. Physics Today, on the first edition This is a book which ... could be expected to become an essential part of the library of every physical scientist concerned with problems involving fluctuations and stochastic processes, as well as those who just enjoy a beautifully written book. It provides an extensive graduate-level introduction which is clear, cautious, interesting and readable. Physics Bulletin

Table Of ContentPreface to the first edition. Preface to the second edition. Abbreviated references. I. Stochastic variables. II. Random events. III. Stochastic processes. IV. Markov processes. V. The master equation. VI. One-step processes. VII. Chemical reactions. VIII. The Fokker-Planck equation. IX. The Langevin approach. X. The expansion of the master equation. XI. The diffusion type. XII. First-passage problems. XIII. Unstable systems. XIV. Fluctuations in continuous systems. XV. The statistics of jump events. XVI. Stochastic differential equations. XVII. Stochastic behavior of quantum systems.

SynopsisThis new edition of Van Kampen's standard work has been completely revised and updated. Three major changes have also been made. The Langevin equation receives more attention in a separate chapter in which non-Gaussian and colored noise are introduced. Another additional chapter contains old and new material on first-passage times and related subjects which lay the foundation for the chapter on unstable systems. Finally a completely new chapter has been written on the quantum mechanical foundations of noise. The references have also been expanded and updated.
