Description
This volume is representative of the work of Chinese probabilitists on probability theory and its applications in physics. Many interesting results of Jump Markov Processes are discussed, and a very fashionable new class of Markov processes - Markov interacting processes with noncompact states, including the important Schloegl model taken from statistical physics, is also considered. The main body of this book is self-contained and can be used in a course on "Stochastic Processes" for graduate students.
Reviews / Votes
"More recently, the school led by the author in Beijing has worked on the construction and ergodic theory of the class of interacting particle systems known as reaction diffusion processes ... This book provides a useful account of a substantial portion of the work of Chinese probabilists over the past two decades, much of which has been relatively inaccessible to Western workers ... this is a useful reference work for probabilists working in these areas, and a contribution to international communication in probability theory." Mathematical Reviews "The book is a comprehensive account of the theory of jump processes and particle systems. The author is an outstanding Chinese specialist in probability theory and stochastic processes creating the Chinese school of Markov processes." Zentralblatt fur Mathematik "He did a lot to popularize the subject in China and with Yan Shi-jian was instrumental in having the second special year 1988-89 at the Nankai Institute devoted to probability ... The book is admirable not only for the circumstances in which it is written but for what it contains ... Chen's book contains a wide variety of topics that cannot be found in any other place ... if you are curious about interacting particle systems this book belongs on your bookshelf."
