Applications of field-theoretic renormalization group methods to reaction–diffusion problems

UC Täuber, M Howard… - Journal of Physics A …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the application of field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods to the study
of fluctuations in reaction–diffusion problems. We first investigate the physical origin of …
