Statistics And Control Of Stochastic Processes: The Liptser Festschrift

This volume contains papers presented at the Steklov Seminar on Statistics and Control of Stochastic Processes. For the past three decades, the seminar has determined the development, in a number of important directions, of the theory of random processes not only in the USSR (now Russia) but in the whole world. It was organised by A N Shiryaev in collaboration with N V Krylov and R Sh Liptser. It started off with optimal stopping and filtering with applications to engineering, and very soon extended its interests to more general problems of stochastic control, causal and anticipating stochastic calculus, limit theorems for semimartingales, martingale methods in queueing theory, foundations of statistics of random processes and, in recent years, mathematical finance. Many studies, for example of stochastic PDEs or extended stochastic integrals, anticipated largely Western works.The contributions in this book are devoted to the hottest topics and united by a martingale methodology which was the key idea of the seminar.

Statistics of Random Processes

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 testing of hypothesis. Also presented is the theory of martingales, of interest to those who deal with problems in financial mathematics. These editions include new material, expanded chapters, and comments on recent progress in the field.

From Stochastic Calculus to Mathematical Finance

Dedicated to the Russian mathematician Albert Shiryaev on his 70th birthday, this is a collection of papers written by his former students, co-authors and colleagues. The book represents the modern state of art of a quickly maturing theory and will be an essential source and reading for researchers in this area. Diversity of topics and comprehensive style of the papers make the book attractive for PhD students and young researchers.

Fundamentals of Stochastic Filtering

This book provides a rigorous mathematical treatment of the non-linear stochastic filtering problem using modern methods. Particular emphasis is placed on the theoretical analysis of numerical methods for the solution of the filtering problem via particle methods. The book should provide sufficient background to enable study of the recent literature. While no prior knowledge of stochastic filtering is required, readers are assumed to be familiar with measure theory, probability theory and the basics of stochastic processes. Most of the technical results that are required are stated and proved in the appendices. Exercises and solutions are included.

Topics in Stochastic Analysis and Nonparametric Estimation

To honor Rafail Z. Khasminskii, on his seventy-fifth birthday, for his contributions to stochastic processes and nonparametric estimation theory an IMA participating institution conference entitled "Conference on Asymptotic Analysis in Stochastic Processes, Nonparametric Estimation, and Related Problems" was held. This volume commemorates this special event. Dedicated to Professor Khasminskii, it consists of nine papers on various topics in probability and statistics.

International Financial Contagion

No sooner had the Asian crisis broken out in 1997 than the witch-hunt started. With great indignation every Asian economy pointed fingers. They were innocent bystanders. The fundamental reason for the crisis was this or that - most prominently contagion - but also the decline in exports of the new commodities (high-tech goods), the steep rise of the dollar, speculators, etc. The prominent question, of course, is whether contagion could really have been the key factor and, if so, what are the channels and mechanisms through which it operated in such a powerful manner. The question is obvious because until 1997, Asia's economies were generally believed to be immensely successful, stable and we...
