It has proved to be a remarkably rich theory, with applications beyond natural phenomena to topics such as network modelling. The aims of this book, first published in 2006, are twofold. First to present classical results in a way that is accessible to non-specialists. Second, to describe results of Smirnov in conformal invariance, and outline the proof that the critical probability for random Voronoi percolation in the plane is 1/2. Throughout, the presentation is streamlined, with elegant and straightforward proofs requiring minimal background in probability and graph theory. Numerous examples illustrate the important concepts and enrich the arguments. All-in-all, it will be an essential purchase for mathematicians, physicists, electrical engineers and computer scientists working in this exciting area.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 161mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 660gAuthor: Bela Bollobás, Oliver RiordanGenre: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
