High-Dimensional Nonlinear Diffusion Stochastic Processes

From MaRDI portal





The book is addressed to all scientists and engineers who deal with nonlinear diffusion stochastic processes (DSP) in Euclidean space of high dimensions. The analysis of DSP derived in this book is mainly based on the well-known expressions for drift vector and diffusion matrix of the processes and on Kolmogorov's forward equations. No techniques directly related to the theory of Itô's stochastic differential equations are involved. The introductory Chapter 1 lists some basic facts and methods of DSP theory and some of the related practical problems. Chapter 2 studies diffusion processes from the point of view of their expectation and variance. Chapters 3 and 4 study nonstationary invariant and stationary diffusion processes, respectively. Chapter 5 concerns the modelling of the non-Markov phenomena with various Itô's stochastic differential equations and their connections to high-dimensional DSPs. This connection is provided by means of the stochastic adaptive interpolation method. Chapter 6 contains the specific examples of the theory developed in Chapter 5 and is devoted to Itô's stochastic partial differential equations of semiconductor theory which are based on the fluid-dynamics model. Chapter 7 focuses on the distinguishing features of engineering applications (reasonable amount of the main computer memory, real-time signal transformation etc). A combined, analytical-numerical approach, its advantages and disadvantages as well as the connection to common analytical DSP results are discussed in Chapter 8. The book includes eight appendices and a comprehensive bibliography. The book can be regarded as a kind of complement to \textit{R. Serra, M. Andretta, M. Compiani} and \textit{G. Zanarini} [``Introduction to the physics of complex systems. The mesoscopic approach to fluctuations, nonlinearity and self-organization (1986; Zbl 0667.58044)], \textit{J. Honerkamp} [``Stochastische dynamische Systeme: Konzepte, numerische Methoden, Datenanalysen (1990; Zbl 0703.60110) and ``Statistical physics. An advanced approach with applications (1998; Zbl 0908.00007)].
