XII Symposium of Probability and Stochastic Processes: Merida, Mexico, November 16-20, 2015

by Daniel Hernïndez-Hernïndez, Juan Carlos Pardo, Victor Rivero

Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of the XII Symposium of Probability and Shastic Processes which took place at Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan in Merida, Mexico, on November 16–20, 2015. This meeting was the twelfth meeting in a series of ongoing biannual meetings aimed at showcasing the research of Mexican probabilists as well as promote new collaborations between the participants.

The book features articles drawn from different research areas in probability and shastic processes, such as: risk theory, limit theorems, shastic partial differential equations, random trees, shastic differential games, shastic control, and coalescence. Two of the main manuscripts survey recent developments on shastic control and scaling limits of Markov-branching trees, written by Kazutoshi Yamasaki and Bénédicte Haas, respectively. The research-oriented manuscripts provide new advances in active research fields in Mexico.

The wide selection of topics makes the book accessible to advanced graduate students and researchers in probability and shastic processes.
