Principles of Statistical Radiophysics is concerned with the theory of random functions (processes and fields) treated in close association with a number of ap plications in physics. Primarily, the book deals with radiophysics in its broadest sense, i.e., viewed as a general theory of oscillations and waves of any physical l nature . This translation is based on the second (two-volume) Russian edition. It appears in four volumes: 1. Elements of Random Process Theory 2. Correlation Theory of Random Processes 3. Elements of Random Fields 4. Wave Propagation Through Random Media. The four...

Principles of Statistical Radiophysics is a four-volume series that introduces the newcomer to the theory of random functions. It aims at providing the background necessary to understand papers and monographs on the subject and to carry out independent research in the fields where fluctuations are of importance, e.g. radiophysics, optics, astronomy, and acoustics. Volume 3, Elements of Random Fields, gives the basic mathematical definitions, general properties and specific forms of random fields, the generalization from correlation theory to random fields. It deals with...

Principles of Statistical Radiophysics is a four-volume series that introduces the newcomer to the theory of random functions. It aims at providing the background necessary to understand papers and monographs on the subject and to carry out independant research in fields where fluctuations are of importance, e.g. radiophysics, optics, astronomy, and acoustics. Volume 2, Correlation Theory of Random Processes, presents the correlation theory of nonstationary processes paying particular attention to periodically nonstationary processes. Physical phenomena like interference,...

One of the driving forces behind much of modern science and technology is the desire to foresee and thereby control the future. In recent years, however, it has become clear that, even in a deterministic world, there is alimit to the accuracy with which we can predict the future. This book details, in a largely nontechnical style, the extent to which we can predict the future development of various physical, biological and socio-economic processes.
