The articles present methods allowing concrete calculations without neglecting the mathematical foundations. They address physicists and engineers interested in scientific computation and simulation techniques. In particular the volume covers: simulation, stability theory, Lyapounov exponents, stochastic modelling, statistics on trajectories, parametric stochastic control, Fokker Planck equations, and Wiener filtering UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-60214-3 ER -
