Description
Book SynopsisThis book provides probabilists with sufficient background to begin applying PDEs to probability theory and probability theory to PDEs. It covers the theory of linear and second order PDEs of parabolic and elliptic type. While most of the techniques described have antecedents in probability theory, the book does cover a few purely analytic techniques.
Trade Review'The book will capture your attention with elegant proofs presented in an almost perfectly self-contained manner, with abundant talk in a lecturer's tone by the author himself, but with a little bit of an aficionado's taste. The book, arranged idiosyncratically, has such a strong impact that, at the next moment, you may find yourself carried away in looking for mathematical treasures scattered here and there in each chapter. The reviewer recommends the present book with confidence to anyone who in interested in PDE and probability theory. At least you should always keep this at your side if you are a probabilist at all.'
