    ANNUAL REVIEWS OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS VIII

    edited by Dietrich Stauffer (Cologne University, Germany)

    Table of Contents (36k)
    Preface (27k)
    Introduction (30k)
    Chapter 1: Stochastic Dynamics of Growing Films
    Chapter 1.1: Introduction (209k)
    Chapter 1.2: Dynamic Scaling in Growing Films (170k)
    Chapter 1.3: Moving Flux Lines and Polymers (202k)
    Chapter 1.4: Ordering Phenomena on Growing Films (238k)

    This volume is based on an international school on “Scaling and Disordered Systems” organized by M R H Khajehpour, M R Kolahchi and M Sahimi. Despite the common theme, it covers fields as diverse as basic and applied percolation, and biological prey-predator and ageing simulations. The advantages of computer simulation thus become particularly clear in the reviews, which have been written by leading experts.

     
    Contents:
    • Stochastic Dynamics of Growing Films (M Kardar)
    • Kinetics of Epitaxial Thin Film Growth (F Family)
    • Directed Percolation, the Fixed Scale Transformation and the Renormalization Group (A Erzan)
    • Statistical Mechanics and Scaling Theories of Macromolecules (T B Liverpool)
    • Scaling as Inflation Symmetry, and Its Physical Consequences (N Rivier)
    • Some Aspects of Dynamics of Josephson-Junction Array at Golden Mean Frustration (M R Kolahchi)
    • Monte Carlo Simulation of Microscopic Stock Market Models (D Stauffer)
    • and other papers
     
    Readership: Researchers in computational physics.
     
    “The accessibility of the articles makes them also useful for gaining a broader overview over the subject or for understanding connections between different fields. The most basic articles contain enough information to be interesting even for an expert in a neighbouring field of research.”
