About this book
This multi-author reference work provides a unique introduction to the currently emerging,
highly interdisciplinary field of those transport processes that cannot be described
by using standard methods of statistical mechanics. It comprehensively summarizes
topics ranging from mathematical foundations of anomalous dynamics to the most recent
experiments in this field. In so doing, this monograph extracts and emphasizes common
principles and methods from many different disciplines while providing up-to-date
coverage of this new field of research, considering such diverse applications as plasma
physics, glassy material, cell science, and socio-economic aspects.
The book will be of interest to both theorists and experimentalists in nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics and stochastic processes. It also forms an ideal starting point for graduate students moving into this area. 18 chapters written by internationally recognized experts in this field provide in-depth introductions to fundamental aspects of anomalous transport.
