    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This monograph provides and explains the probability theory of geometric graphs. Applications of the theory include communications networks, classification, spatial statistics, epidemiology, astrophysics and neural networks.

    Long description:

    This monograph sets out a body of mathematical theory for finite graphs with nodes placed randomly in Euclidean space and edges added to connect points that are close to each other. As an alternative to classical random graph models, these geometric graphs are relevant to the modelling of real-world networks having spatial content, arising in numerous applications such as wireless communications, parallel processing, classification, epidemiology, astronomy, and the internet.
    Aimed at graduate students and researchers in probability, combinatorics, statistics, and theoretical computer science, it covers topics such as edge and component counts, vertex degrees, cliques, colourings, connectivity, giant component phenomena, vertex ordering and partitioning problems. It also illustrates and extends the application to geometric probability of modern techniques including Stein's method, martingale methods and continuum percolation.

    The book is suitable to design a graduate course in random geometric graphs. Its scope stretches far beyond geometric probability and includes exciting material from Poisson approximation, percolation and statistical physics. This elegantly written monograph belongs to the collection of important books vital for every probabilist.
