Produktbeschreibung

This accessible introduction to the theory of stochastic processes emphasizes Levy processes and Markov processes. It gives a thorough treatment of the decomposition of paths of processes with independent increments (the Lévy-Itô decomposition). It also contains a detailed treatment of time-homogeneous Markov processes from the viewpoint of probability measures on path space. In addition, 70 exercises and their complete solutions are included.

Autorenporträt

Kiyosi Itô was born on September 1915, in Kuwana, Japan. After his undergraduate and doctoral studies at Tokyo University, he was associate professor at Nagoya University before joining the faculty of Kyoto University in 1952. He has remained there ever since and is now Professor Emeritus, but has also spent several years at each of Stanford, Aarhus and Cornell Universities and the University of Minnesota. Itô's fundamental contributions to probability theory, especially the creation of stochastic differential and integral calculus and of excursion theory, form a cornerstone of this field. They have led to a profound understanding of the infinitesimal development of Markovian sample paths, and also of applied problems and phenomena associated with the planning, control and optimization of engineering and other random systems.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The book can be recommended as a fine introduction to such important branches of stochastic process theory as the theories of processes with independent increments and of Markov processes. It will be a valuable acquisition for any mathematical library. The text of the book has been carefully prepared by the editors ... ." (M.G. Shur, Mathematical Reviews, 2005e) "The book under review is in fact an advanced text suitable for graduate students and based around two topics-the structure of additive processes ... and the basic theory of Markov processes, which generalises Markov chains to continuous time and fairly general state spaces. ... a nice introduction to Markov processes making extensive use of semigroup techniques. ... The book concludes with a number of exercises accompanied by worked solutions." (David Applebaum, The Mathematical Gazette, March, 2005)
