5."Probabilistic Models for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations" by Carl Graham
“Probabilistic Models for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations” Book review: This book provides a detailed discussion on weak convergence of stochastic integrals, the probabilistic interpretation, particle approximation of equations, and modeling of networks by interacting particle systems. The text also uses basic laws and principles of physics such as conservation laws, Boltzmann-like and Navier-Stokes equations. It is a valuable resource for PhD students, young researchers, and probabilists working on stochastic particle methods and the approximation of SPDEs.
