Hydrodynamic Behavior and Interacting Particle Systems

This is the third volume (out of four) with papers which originated during the course of the Stochastic Equations and Their Applications year at the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications at the University of Minnesota. This volume which is directed towards researchers in applied mathematics, engineering, and physics, contains contributions by P.M. Chaikin, W.D. Dozier, H.M. Lindsay, D.A. Dawson, R. Figari, G. Papanicolaou, J. Rubinstein, K.F. Freed, S. Wang, J.F. Douglas, J. Fritz, J. Goodman, L.G. Gorostiza, D.E. Loper, P.H. Roberts, H. Osada, S. Ozawa, H. Spohn, A.S. Sznitman, and H. Tanaka.

George Papanicolaou was Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute before moving to Stanford University in 1993. He is now Robert Grimmett Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford.
