Description
"This topical volume examines one of the leading problems in astronomy today - how galaxies cluster in our Universe. Many observational surveys and theoretical projects are currently underway to understand the distribution of galaxies. This is the first book to describe gravitational theory, computer simulations, and observations related to galaxy distribution functions (a general method for measuring the clustering and velocities of galaxies). It embeds distribution functions in a broader astronomical context, including other exciting contemporary topics such as correlation functions, fractals, bound clusters, topology, percolation, and minimal spanning trees."--BOOK JACKET. "This volume is written at a level suitable for graduate students and will be of key interest to astronomers, cosmologists, physicists, and applied statisticians."--BOOK JACKET.
