Elements of Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics [electronic resource] / by V. Balakrishnan. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIX, 314 p. 30 illus. online resource.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Langevin equation -- Chapter 3. The fluctuation-dissippation relation -- Chapter 4. Autocorrelation of velocity -- Chapter 5. Markov Process.

This book deals with the basic principles and techniques of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The importance of this subject is growing rapidly in view of the advances being made, both experimentally and theoretically, in statistical physics, chemical physics, biological physics, complex systems and several other areas. The presentation of topics is quite self-contained, and the choice of topics enables the student to form a coherent picture of the subject. The approach is unique in that classical mechanical formulation takes center stage. The book is of particular interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in engineering departments.
