Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book introduces several remarkable new probabilistic objects that combine spatial motion with a continuous branching phenomenon and are closely related to certain semilinear partial differential equations (PDE). The Brownian snake approach is used to give a powerful representation of superprocesses and also to investigate connections between superprocesses and PDEs. These are notable because almost every important probabilistic question corresponds to a significant analytic problem.

Recensione

"Concise and essentially self-contained... A very accessible text...written by a leading expert of the field... It provides a clear and precise presentation of several important aspects of the theory...developed over the recent years. There is no doubt that such a monograph will be used both by beginners to learn the theory and by experts as a reference text."
