It has been 15 years since the first edition of Stochastic Integration and Differential Equations, A New Approach appeared, and in those years many other texts on the same subject have been published,
This book develops the use of Monte Carlo methods in finance, and it also uses simulation as a vehicle for presenting models and ideas from financial engineering. It divides roughly into three parts.
This book presents a thorough development of the modern theory of stochastic approximation or recursive stochastic algorithms for both constrained and unconstrained problems. This second edition is a
From the reviews: "This book nicely complements the existing literature on information and coding theory by concentrating on arbitrary nonstationary and/or nonergodic sources and channels with arbitra
This book gives a self-contained and systematic exposition of the major optimal control theory for continuous-time stochastic diffusion processes, including the Pontryagin type maximum principle (MP)
This book presents the first part of a planned two-volume series devoted to a systematic exposition of some recent developments in the theory of discrete-time Markov control processes (MCPs). Interest
The aim of this book is to present graduate students with a thorough survey of reference probability models and their applications to optimal estimation and control. These new and powerful methods are
The cycle representations of Markov processes have been advanced after the publication of the ?rst edition to many directions. One main purpose of these advances was the revelation of wide-ranging int
"Written by two renowned experts in the field, the books under review contain a thorough and insightful treatment of the fundamental underpinnings of various aspects of stochastic processes as well as
The theory of probability began in the seventeenth century with attempts to calculate the odds of winning in certain games of chance. However, it was not until the middle of the twentieth century that
These volumes cover non-linear filtering (prediction and smoothing) theory and its applications to the problem of optimal estimation, control with incomplete data, information theory, and sequential t
