Rezensionen

"It is the objective of this book to provide the basic principles and results of the theory of random fields (both continuous and discrete) with special emphasis on methods that are important for the modeling of real random material microstructures.... The book may be viewed as a comprehensive introduction to the field of stochastic modeling of material microstructures and will be useful for researchers and professionals in material modeling, engineering and in applied mathematics in general." -Applications of Mathematics
