Stochastic Models for Many-body Systems. I

This first volume in a two-part series presents a comprehensive study of stochastic models for many-body systems in thermal equilibrium. The authors introduce the theory of stochastic processes, and provide a detailed analysis of the properties of the canonical ensemble and its variants. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students in statistical mechanics and related fields.
