Many-Body Tree Methods in Physics
Many-Body Tree Methods in Physics by Susanne Pfalzner, published by Cambridge University Press on September 8, 2005, is a comprehensive resource that explores the dynamics of large numbers of particles interacting through long-range forces, a topic central to various branches of physics. This New Ed edition spans 184 pages and is presented in English, offering an accessible introduction to fast N-body algorithms, known as “tree methods,” which have been developed to efficiently tackle complex problems in the field.
Readers will find a thorough explanation of the basic principles behind these tree methods, complemented by practical examples that illustrate their application across a wide range of disciplines, including astrophysics, plasma physics, and condensed matter physics. The book is designed for graduate students and researchers, assuming no prior specialist knowledge, making it a valuable addition to the study of modeling systems in physics.
Official synopsis Publisher
Studying the dynamics of a large number of particles interacting through long-range forces, commonly referred to as the “N-body problem”, is a central aspect of many different branches of physics. In recent years, physicists have made significant advances in the development of fast N-body algorithms to deal efficiently with such complex problems. This book gives a thorough introduction to these so-called “tree methods”, setting out the basic principles and giving many practical examples of their use. The authors assume no prior specialist knowledge, and they illustrate the techniques throughout with reference to a broad range of applications. The book will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers working on the modeling of systems in astrophysics, plasma physics, nuclear and particle physics, condensed matter physics and materials science.
