Reversibility and Stochastic Networks
by F.P. Kelly
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd 1979
ISBN/ASIN: 1107401151
Number of pages: 233
Description:
Examines the behavior in equilibrium of vector stochastic processes or stochastic networks, considering a wide range of applications by discussing stochastic models that arise in fields such as operational research, biology, and polymer science. Reviews the concept of reversibility, including material necessary to establish terminology and notation. Explains such uses as the study of the output from a queue, the flow of current in a conductor, the age of an allele, and the equilibrium distribution of a polymerization process. Also examines the extent to which the assumption of reversibility can be relaxed without destroying the associated tractability. Requires an understanding of Markov processes.

An informal introduction to Stochastic Calculus, and especially to the Ito integral and some of its applications. The text concentrates on the parts of the course which the author found hard, there is little or no comment on more standard matters.

The aim is to introduce the basic problems of non-linear PDEs with stochastic and irregular terms. We explain how it is possible to handle them using two main techniques: the notion of energy solutions and that of paracontrolled distributions.

The goal of this course is to give useful understanding for solving problems formulated by stochastic differential equations models in science, engineering and finance. Typically, these problems require numerical methods to obtain a solution.
