L}}vy Processes [Paperback]

This 1996 book is a comprehensive account of the theory of L?vy processes; aimed at probability theorists.This is an up-to-date and comprehensive account of the theory of Lévy processes. This branch of modern probability theory has been developed over recent years and has many applications in such areas as queues, mathematical finance and risk estimation. Professor Bertoin uses the interplay between the probabilistic structure and analytic tools to give a quick and concise treatment of the core theory, with the minimum of technical requirements. This will become the standard reference on the subject for all working probability theorists.'I think this is THE book on the subject, rather than A book on it. The text is clearly written, and very well organised. The subject-matter is mainstream probability, so will always be topical. A book on these lines has been long overdue.'
