Stochastic models, information theory, and lie groups v. 2 Analytic methods and modern applications

The subjects of stochastic processes, information theory, and Lie groups are usually treated separately from each other. This unique two-volume set presents these topics in a unified setting, thereby building bridges between fields that are rarely studied by the same individuals. Unlike the many excellent formal treatments available for each of these subjects individually, the emphasis in both of these volumes is on the use of stochastic, geometric, and group-theoretic concepts in the modeling of physical phenomena. Volume 2 builds on the fundamentals presented in Volume 1 , delving deeper into relationships among stochastic geometry, geometric aspects of the theory of communications and coding, multivariate statistical analysis, and error propagation on Lie groups. Extensive exercises, motivating examples, and real-world applications make the work suitable as a textbook for use in courses that emphasize applied stochastic processes or differential geometry. Stochastic Models, Information Theory, and Lie Groups will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in applied mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering. Unique work: the only book to use tools and concepts from several mathematical areas usually treated in separate books—stochastic processes, informationtheory, and Lie theory—thereby building bridges between topics rarely studiedby the same individuals. Extensive exercises and numerous examples used to motivate concepts with an emphasis on modeling physical phenomena. Concrete presentation makes it easy for readers to obtain numerical solutions for their ownproblems. Applications to a variety of areas, including conformational fluctuations of DNA, infotaxis, statistical mechanics, and biomolecular information theory. Suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate coursesin applied stochastic processes or differential geometry. For a broad audience of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in applied mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering.
