From the reviews:
„In this collection of articles by experts in the field the reader is given a rather comprehensive overview of many of the mathematical aspects and applications of the Boltzmann equation … . intended for scientists and engineers in the applied sciences, my own feeling is that investigators whose acquaintance with mathematics is at an advanced level are likely to be the main beneficiaries of this book. The presentation of the material is excellent, very well organized, and highly recommended to this audience.“ (L. S. García-Colín, Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 132, 2008)
Transport Phenomena and Kinetic Theory
Applications to Gases, Semiconductors, Photons, and Biological Systems
herausgegeben von Carlo Cercignani und Ester GabettaThe study of kinetic equations related to gases, semiconductors, photons, traffic flow, and other systems has developed rapidly in recent years because of its role as a mathematical tool in areas such as engineering, meteorology, biology, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and pharmacy. Written by leading specialists in their respective fields, this book presents an overview of recent developments in the field of mathematical kinetic theory with a focus on modeling complex systems, emphasizing both mathematical properties and their physical meaning.
Transport Phenomena and Kinetic Theory is an excellent self-study reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. The work may be used in courses or seminars on selected topics in transport phenomena or applications of the Boltzmann equation.
