Reviews
'This book contains a complete account of most of the important results in the fascinating area of percolation. Elegant and straightforward proofs are given with minimal background in probability or graph theory. It is self-contained, accessible to a wide readership and widely illustrated with numerous examples. It will be of considerable interest for both beginners and advanced searchers alike.'

Continuum percolation; Bibliography; Index; List of notation.
Synopsis
Percolation theory was initiated some fifty years ago as a mathematical framework for the study of random physical processes such as flow through a disordered porous medium. 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 are twofold. First to present classical results in a way that is accessible to non-specialists. Second, to describe, for the first time in a book, recent 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., Percolation theory was initiated some fifty years ago as a mathematical framework for the study of random physical processes such as flow through a disordered porous medium.

    Porch pirates stole this item within 10 minutes of delivery. *NO COMPLAINTS* about the seller, though! Although I can't rate shipping and packaging, I can totally rate the seller on their communications and conversation! And now, I'm off to get a P.O. Box for the future!
