ISBN: 1402005911 ISBN-13: 9781402005916 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $104.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: April 2002 Annotation: This book contains the lectures given at the Conference on Dynamics and Randomness held at the Centro de Modelamiento Matematico of the Universidad de Chile, on December 11-15, 2000. This meeting brought together mathematicians, theoretical physicists, and theoretical computer scientists, and graduate students interested in fields related to probability theory, ergodic theory, and symbolic and topological dynamics. Each chapter is devoted to one of these subjects. Some papers are structured as surveys, presenting at the same time an original point of view and showing mostly new results. Audience: This volume will appeal to researchers and practitioners working in probability theory, stochastic processes, information theory, coding theory, statistical physics, and thermodynamics. |

We would like to express our gratitude to all the participants of the con- ference and to the people who contributed to its organization. In particular, to Pierre Collet, Bernard Host and Mike Keane for their scientific advise. VVe want to thank especially the authors of each chapter for their well- prepared manuscripts and the stimulating conferences they gave at Santiago. We are also indebted to our sponsors and supporting institutions, whose interest and help was essential to organize this meeting: ECOS-CONICYT, FONDAP Program in Applied Mathematics, French Cooperation, Fundacion Andes, Presidential Fellowship and Universidad de Chile. We are grateful to Ms. Gladys Cavallone for their excellent work during the preparation of the meeting as well as for the considerable task of unifying the typography of the different chapters of this book. |
