A collection of independent articles describes some mathematical problems recently developed in statistical physics and theoretical chemistry. The book introduces and reviews research on such topics as nonlinear systems and colored noise, stochastic resonance, percolation, the trapping problem in the theory of random walks, and diffusive models for chemical kinetics.

This collection of independent articles describes some mathematical problems recently developed in statistical physics and theoretical chemistry. The book introduces and reviews current research on such topics as nonlinear systems and colored noise, stochastic resonance, percolation, the trapping problem in the theory of random walks, and diffusive models for chemical kinetics. Some of these topics have never before been presented in expository book form. Applied mathematicians will be introduced to some contemporary problems in statistical physics. In addition, a number of unsolved problems currently attracting intensive research efforts are described.

Diffusion kinetics in microscopic nonhomogeneous systems Peter Clifford and Nicholas J. B. Green; Fluctuations in nonlinear systems driven by colored noise Mark Dykman and Katja Lindenberg; Percolation Shlomo Havlin and Armin Bunde; Aspects of trapping in transport processes Frank den Hollander and George H. Weiss; Stochastic resonance: from the Ice Ages to the Monkey's Ear Frank Moss.
