Probability Metrics and the Stability of Stochastic Models
Author: Svetlozar T. Rachev
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
Concentrates on four specialized research directions as well as applications to different problems of probability theory. These include: description of the basic structure of p. metrics, analysis of the topologies in the space of probability measures generated by different types of p. metrics, characterization of the ideal metrics for the given problem and investigations of the main relationships between different types of p. metrics. The presentation here is given in a general form, although specific cases are considered as they arise in the process of finding supplementary bounds or in applications to important special cases.

An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling
Author: Howard M. Taylor
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483269272
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling provides information pertinent to the standard concepts and methods of stochastic modeling. This book presents the rich diversity of applications of stochastic processes in the sciences. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins with an overview of diverse types of stochastic models, which predicts a set of possible outcomes weighed by their likelihoods or probabilities. This text then provides exercises in the applications of simple stochastic analysis to appropriate problems. Other chapters consider the study of general functions of independent, identically distributed, nonnegative random variables representing the successive intervals between renewals. This book discusses as well the numerous examples of Markov branching processes that arise naturally in various scientific disciplines. The final chapter deals with queueing models, which aid the design process by predicting system performance. This book is a valuable resource for students of engineering and management science. Engineers will also find this book useful.

Mass Transportation Problems
Author: Svetlozar T. Rachev
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387227555
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 533
Book Description
The first comprehensive account of the theory of mass transportation problems and its applications. In Volume I, the authors systematically develop the theory with emphasis on the Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation and the Kantorovich-Rubinstein mass transshipment problems. They then discuss a variety of different approaches towards solving these problems and exploit the rich interrelations to several mathematical sciences - from functional analysis to probability theory and mathematical economics. The second volume is devoted to applications of the above problems to topics in applied probability, theory of moments and distributions with given marginals, queuing theory, risk theory of probability metrics and its applications to various fields, among them general limit theorems for Gaussian and non-Gaussian limiting laws, stochastic differential equations and algorithms, and rounding problems. Useful to graduates and researchers in theoretical and applied probability, operations research, computer science, and mathematical economics, the prerequisites for this book are graduate level probability theory and real and functional analysis.

Numerical Solution of Stochastic Differential Equations with Jumps in Finance
Author: Eckhard Platen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364213694X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 868
Book Description
In financial and actuarial modeling and other areas of application, stochastic differential equations with jumps have been employed to describe the dynamics of various state variables. The numerical solution of such equations is more complex than that of those only driven by Wiener processes, described in Kloeden & Platen: Numerical Solution of Stochastic Differential Equations (1992). The present monograph builds on the above-mentioned work and provides an introduction to stochastic differential equations with jumps, in both theory and application, emphasizing the numerical methods needed to solve such equations. It presents many new results on higher-order methods for scenario and Monte Carlo simulation, including implicit, predictor corrector, extrapolation, Markov chain and variance reduction methods, stressing the importance of their numerical stability. Furthermore, it includes chapters on exact simulation, estimation and filtering. Besides serving as a basic text on quantitative methods, it offers ready access to a large number of potential research problems in an area that is widely applicable and rapidly expanding. Finance is chosen as the area of application because much of the recent research on stochastic numerical methods has been driven by challenges in quantitative finance. Moreover, the volume introduces readers to the modern benchmark approach that provides a general framework for modeling in finance and insurance beyond the standard risk-neutral approach. It requires undergraduate background in mathematical or quantitative methods, is accessible to a broad readership, including those who are only seeking numerical recipes, and includes exercises that help the reader develop a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematics.

Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes with Applications (Second Edition)
Author: Oliver Knill
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9789813109490
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
This second edition has a unique approach that provides a broad and wide introduction into the fascinating area of probability theory. It starts on a fast track with the treatment of probability theory and stochastic processes by providing short proofs. The last chapter is unique as it features a wide range of applications in other fields like Vlasov dynamics of fluids, statistics of circular data, singular continuous random variables, Diophantine equations, percolation theory, random Schrödinger operators, spectral graph theory, integral geometry, computer vision, and processes with high risk.Many of these areas are under active investigation and this volume is highly suited for ambitious undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers.

Linear and Complex Analysis Problem Book 3
Author: Victor P. Havin
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540483675
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 517
Book Description
The 2-volume book is an updated, reorganized and considerably enlarged version of the previous edition of the Research Problem Book in Analysis (LNM 1043), a collection familiar to many analysts, that has sparked off much research. This new edition, created in a joint effort by a large team of analysts, is, like its predecessor, a collection of unsolved problems of modern analysis designed as informally written mini-articles, each containing not only a statement of a problem but also historical and methodological comments, motivation, conjectures and discussion of possible connections, of plausible approaches as well as a list of references. There are now 342 of these mini- articles, almost twice as many as in the previous edition, despite the fact that a good deal of them have been solved!
