Stochastic Analysis and Related Topics VIII: Silivri Workshop in Gazimagusa (North Cyprus), September 2000 - Progress in Probability Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2003 edition

Description for Sales People: Over the last years, stochastic analysis has had an enormous progress with the impetus originating from different branches of mathematics: PDE's and the Malliavin calculus, quantum physics, path space analysis on curved manifolds via probabilistic methods, and more. The topics include stochastic control theory, generalized functions in a nonlinear setting, tangent spaces of manifold-valued paths with quasi-invariant measures, and applications in game theory, theoretical biology and theoretical physics.
