Stochastic Transport Processes in Discrete Biological Systems

These notes are in part based on a course for advanced students in the applications of shastic processes held in 1978 at the University of Konstanz. These notes contain the results of re­ cent studies on the shastic description of ion transport through biological membranes. In particular, they serve as an introduction to an unified theory of fluctuations in complex biological transport systems. We emphasize that the subject of this volume is not to introduce the mathematics of shastic proce...
