Thermodynamic Formalism: The Mathematical Structure of Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics

by David Ruelle

Book Overview

Reissued in the Cambridge Mathematical Library, this classic book outlines the theory of thermodynamic formalism which was developed to describe the properties of certain physical systems consisting of a large number of subunits. Background material on physics has been collected in appendices to help the reader. Supplementary work is provided in the form of exercises and problems that were open at the original time of writing.
