Kinetic equations serve as fundamental tools for understanding the statistical behaviour of particles within a system, bridging the microscopic world of individual particle interactions with ...

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839–1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...

The problem of estimating from a sample a confidence region for the parameters of the distribution of maximum values is treated by setting up what are called "statistical estimation functions" ...

In its original form, Gibbs-Boltzmann statistical mechanics cannot describe “active matter,” such as living, driven, or self-propelled systems. Contemporary models of swarming and flocking behaviors, ...

(Boston, Mass.) -- H. Eugene Stanley, a professor of physics at Boston University and director of its Center for Polymer Studies, has been named to receive the 2004 Boltzmann Award. This award, ...
