商品簡介
For graduate courses on probability theory, Heyer (Mathematisches Institut, Universitat Tubingen, Germany) presents a textbook on the structural aspects and applicability of the concept of a group to probability theory. This edition has been expanded to emphasize algebraic-topological aspects leading to a better understanding of basic theorems such as those on the structure of continuous convolution semigroups and the corresponding processes with independent increments. It has new chapters (one written by an additional author) on the probability theory of generalized convolution structures such as polynomial and Sturm-Liouville hypergroups, and on the central limit problem for groups such as tori, p-adic groups, and solenoids.
