N1  - Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-325) and index; Introduction to techniques -- Generating functions I -- Generating functions II : recurrence, sites visited, and the role of dimensionality -- Boundary conditions, steady state, and the electrostatic analogy -- Variations on the random walk -- The shape of a random walk -- Path integrals and self-avoidance -- Properties of the random walk : introduction to scaling -- Scaling of walks and critical phenomena -- Walks and the O(n) model : mean field theory and spin waves -- Scaling, fractals, and renormalization -- More on the renormalization group
N2  - Random walks have proven to be a useful model in understanding processes across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. This self-contained text will appeal to graduate students who need to understand the applications of random walk techniques, as well as to established researchers
