White Noise

Helge,Holden;Bernt,Oksendal;Jan,Uboe;Tusheng,Zhang: Stochastic Partial Differential Equations A Modeling, White Noise Approach, Springer-Verlag GmbH, Januar 2010 ISBN: 038789487X
The first edition of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations: A Modeling, White Noise Functional Approach, gave a comprehensive introduction to SPDEs. In this, the second edition, the authors build on the theory of SPDEs driven by space-time Brownian motion, or more generally, space-time Levy process noise, and introduce new applications of the field. Because the authors allow the noise to be in both space and time, the solutions to SPDEs are usually of the distribution type, rather than a classical random field. To make this study rigorous and as general as possible, the discussion of SPDEs is therefore placed in the context of Hida white noise theory. The first part of the book deals with the classical Brownian motion case; the second extends the Hida white noise theory to the Levy white noise case. Applications of this theory are emphasized throughout. In particular, the stochastic pressure equation for fluid flow in porous media is treated, as are applications to finance. Graduate students in pure and applied mathematics as well as researchers in SPDEs, physics, and engineering will find this introduction indispensible. Useful exercises are collected at the end of each chapter.

COX, JAMES H. Muting White Noise: Native American And European American Novel Traditions. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2009.

352 pages. A critical examination of key novels by and about American Indians. Native American fiction writers have confronted Euro-American narratives about Indians and the colonial world those narratives help create. These Native authors offer stories in which Indians remake this colonial world by resisting conquest and assimilation, sustaining their cultures and communities, and surviving. In Muting White Noise, James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white mass-produced culture that mutes American Indian voices. By foregrounding the work of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition, Cox develops a critical perspective from which to re-see the role played by the Euro-American novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism. Cox also offers "red readings" of several revered Euro-American novels, including Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. Muting White Noise breaks new ground in literary criticism. It stands with Native authors in their struggle to reclaim their own narrative space and tell stories that empower and nurture, rather than undermine and erase, American Indians and their communities. Assistant Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin, James H. Cox specializes in Native American and American literature. He also serves as a coeditor of SAIL (Studies in American Indian Literatures). Softcover. Brand new book.
