Lévy flights and related topics in physics : proceedings of the international workshop held at Nice, France, 27-30 June 1994 /

P. Lvy's work on random walks with infinite moments, developed more than half a century ago, has now been fully appreciated as a foundation of probabilistic aspects of fractals and chaos as well as scale-invariant processes. This is the first book for physicists devoted to Lvy processes. It inc...
