Van Kampen, N. G. Stochastic processes in physics and chemistry. Rev. a. enlarged ed., 3rd print. (English) Zbl 0974.60020 North-Holland Personal Library. Amsterdam: North-Holland. 480 p. (2001). [For the review of the first edition from 1981 see Zbl 0511.60038.]Publisher’s description: This 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.
