The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs and surveys which cover the whole spectrum of probability and statistics. The books of the series are addressed to both experts and advanced students.
The first comprehensive account of the theory of mass transportation problems and its applications. In Volume I, the authors systematically develop the theory with emphasis on the Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation and the Kantorovich-Rubinstein mass transshipment problems. They then discuss a variety of different approaches towards solving these problems and exploit the rich interrelations to several mathematical sciences - from functional analysis to probability theory and mathematical economics. The second volume is devoted to applications of the above problems to topics in applied probability, theory of moments and distributions with given marginals, queuing theory, risk theory of probability metrics and its applications to various fields, among them general limit theorems for Gaussian and non-Gaussian limiting laws, stochastic differential equations and algorithms, and rounding problems. Useful to graduates and researchers in theoretical and applied probability, operations research, computer science, and mathematical economics, the prerequisites for this book are graduate level probability theory and real and functional analysis.
This is the first book specifically devoted to a systematic exposition of the essential facts known about the properties of stable distributions. In addition to its main focus on the analytic properties of stable laws, the book also includes examples of the occurrence of stable distributions in applied problems and a chapter on the problem of statistical estimation of the parameters determining stable laws. A valuable feature of the book is the author's use of several formally different ways of expressing characteristic functions corresponding to these laws.

This volume is concerned with the problems in probability and statistics. Ill-posed problems are usually understood as those results where small changes in the assumptions lead to arbitrarily large changes in the conclusions. Such results are not very useful for practical applications where the presumptions usually hold only approximately (because even a slightest departure from the assumed model may produce an uncontrollable shift in the outcome). Often, the ill-posedness of certain practical problems is due to the lack of their precise mathematical formulation. Consequently, one can deal with such problems by replacing a given ill-posed problem with another, well-posed problem, which in so...
This is a translation of the fifth and final volume in a special cycle of publications in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences in the USSR. The purpose of the special cycle was to present surveys of work on certain important trends and problems pursued at the Institute. Because the choice of the form and character of the surveys were left up to the authors, the surveys do not necessarily form a comprehensive overview, but rather represent the authors' perspectives on the important developments.
Real and Stochastic Analysis: Recent Advances presents a carefully edited collection of research articles written by research mathematicians and highlighting advances in RSA. A balanced blend of both theory and applications, this book covers six aspects of stochastic analysis in depth and detail. The first chapters cover the state of the art in tracers analysis, stochastic modeling as it applies to AIDS epidemiology, and the current state of higher order SDEs. Subsequent chapters present a simple approach to Gaussian dichotomy, an overview of harmonizable processes, and stochastic Fubini and Green theorems. Common to all the chapters, the employment of functional analytic methods creates a unified approach. Each chapter includes detailed proofs. Throughout the book, a substantial amount of new material is presented, much of it for the first time. This forward-looking work presents current accounts of important areas of research, evaluates recent advances, and identifies research frontiers and new challenges.
We present certain empirico-statistical methods for the analysis of narrative and nu merical data extracted from different texts of historical character such as chronicles or annals. They are based on several statistical principles worked out by the author, and originally reported at the Third International Vilnius Conference on Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics in 1981. The principal results were published in the papers [15]-[32], [293]-[299], [304]-[319] and in the book: A. T. Fomenko, Methods for Statistical Analysis of Narrative Texts and Applications to Chronol ogy, Moscow Univ. Press, Moscow, 1990 (in Russian). See also Part 1. The methods are applied to the problem of cor...
