A famous assumption is that of "equal a priori probability." By this it is meant that all microscopic states, consistent with a paticular xed total energy E and number of particles N, are equally likely. Basic topics covered are stochastic processes, regression and response theory, molecular hydrodynamics, and complex liquids. 4, 1977 Invariants and Nonequilibrium Density Matrices V. V. Dodonov, ~ I.

Selected applications, including fluctuation theorems, condensed phase reaction rate theory, electron transfer dynamics, enzymatic networks, photon counting statistics, single . Until recently, kinetic and nonequilibrium theories looked to many to be a somewhat dense and technical subject. Unlike equilibrium statistical physics, with its high level of generality and universality, the non-equilibrium statistical physics is essentially a set of many examples, or the art of solving the macroscopic physics problems. An arbitrary system brought into a strongly nonequilibrium state by an external time-dependent impact is considered. Over nearly four decades, Dr. Balakrishnan has taught a wide variety of extremely popular courses at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels, comprising all the standard subjects in physics, as well as some new, non-traditional ones.
