Orthogonal Polynomials and Random Matrices: A Riemann-Hilbert Approach (Softcover)

Condition

LIKE NEW: This book is in excellent, like-new condition. It was printed on acid-free paper.

Product Details

This is Volume 3 in theCourant Lecture Notes in Mathematics series published by the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the American Mathematical Society.

Continued from the back cover: "The central question was the following: Why do very general ensembles of random n×n matrices exhibit universal behavior as n→∞? the main ingredient in the proof is the steepest descent method for oscillatory Riemann-Hilbert problems."
