Download or read book Differentiable Measures and the Malliavin Calculus written by Vladimir Igorevich Bogachev and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2010-07-21 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with the principal concepts and results related to differential properties of measures on infinite dimensional spaces. In the finite dimensional case such properties are described in terms of densities of measures with respect to Lebesgue measure. In the infinite dimensional case new phenomena arise. For the first time a detailed account is given of the theory of differentiable measures, initiated by S. V. Fomin in the 1960s; since then the method has found many various important applications. Differentiable properties are described for diverse concrete classes of measures arising in applications, for example, Gaussian, convex, stable, Gibbsian, and for distributions of random processes. Sobolev classes for measures on finite and infinite dimensional spaces are discussed in detail. Finally, we present the main ideas and results of the Malliavin calculus--a powerful method to study smoothness properties of the distributions of nonlinear functionals on infinite dimensional spaces with measures. The target readership includes mathematicians and physicists whose research is related to measures on infinite dimensional spaces, distributions of random processes, and differential equations in infinite dimensional spaces. The book includes an extensive bibliography on the subject.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Analysis of Paths on a Riemannian Manifold written by Daniel W. Stroock and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hoping to make the text more accessible to readers not schooled in the probabalistic tradition, Stroock (affiliation unspecified) emphasizes the geometric over the stochastic analysis of differential manifolds. Chapters deconstruct Brownian paths, diffusions in Euclidean space, intrinsic and extrinsic Riemannian geometry, Bocher's identity, and the bundle of orthonormal frames. The volume humbly concludes with an "admission of defeat" in regard to recovering the Li-Yau basic differential inequality. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
Download or read book Probability in Banach Spaces 8 Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference written by R.M. Dudley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1992-10 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probability limit theorems in infinite-dimensional spaces give conditions un der which convergence holds uniformly over an infinite class of sets or functions. Early results in this direction were the Glivenko-Cantelli, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Donsker theorems for empirical distribution functions. Already in these cases there is convergence in Banach spaces that are not only infinite-dimensional but nonsep arable. But the theory in such spaces developed slowly until the late 1970's. Meanwhile, work on probability in separable Banach spaces, in relation with the geometry of those spaces, began in the 1950's and developed strongly in the 1960's and 70's. We have in mind here also work on sample continuity and boundedness of Gaussian processes and random methods in harmonic analysis. By the mid-70's a substantial theory was in place, including sharp infinite-dimensional limit theorems under either metric entropy or geometric conditions. Then, modern empirical process theory began to develop, where the collection of half-lines in the line has been replaced by much more general collections of sets in and functions on multidimensional spaces. Many of the main ideas from probability in separable Banach spaces turned out to have one or more useful analogues for empirical processes. Tightness became "asymptotic equicontinuity. " Metric entropy remained useful but also was adapted to metric entropy with bracketing, random entropies, and Kolchinskii-Pollard entropy. Even norms themselves were in some situations replaced by measurable majorants, to which the well-developed separable theory then carried over straightforwardly.
Download or read book Pasolini Chaucer and Boccaccio written by Agnès Blandeau and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-07-19 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pier Pasolini's "trilogy of life" is a series of film adaptations of major texts of the past: The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, and One Thousand and One Nights. The movies demonstrate a film author's acute aesthetic sensibility through a highly original cinematic rendering of the sources. The first two films, closely examined in this book, offer a personal, purposefully stylized vision of the Middle Ages, as though Pasolini were dreaming Boccaccio's and Chaucer's texts through the filter of his "heretic" consciousness. The unusual poetic visualization of the source works, which could be described as irreverent cinematic homage, has the potential to renew the traditional reading of such literature. This book shows how cinema becomes an alternative form of storytelling. It first studies the two films in detail, putting them in perspective within the trilogy. Next it interprets them, recounting misinterpretations and expounding upon Pasolini's ideological perception, and defends the oft-criticized adaptations. Finally, it discusses how the films represent innovation over strict adaptation. Appendices offer charts with information on the narrative structures of the films and the correspondences between them.

Download or read book An Introduction to Analysis on Wiener Space written by Ali S. Üstünel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives the basis of the probabilistic functional analysis on Wiener space, developed during the last decade. The subject has progressed considerably in recent years thr- ough its links with QFT and the impact of Stochastic Calcu- lus of Variations of P. Malliavin. Although the latter deals essentially with the regularity of the laws of random varia- bles defined on the Wiener space, the book focuses on quite different subjects, i.e. independence, Ramer's theorem, etc. First year graduate level in functional analysis and theory of stochastic processes is required (stochastic integration with respect to Brownian motion, Ito formula etc). It can be taught as a 1-semester course as it is, or in 2 semesters adding preliminaries from the theory of stochastic processes It is a user-friendly introduction to Malliavin calculus!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foliation theory has its origins in the global analysis of solutions of ordinary differential equations: on an n-dimensional manifold M, an [autonomous] differential equation is defined by a vector field X ; if this vector field has no singularities, then its trajectories form a par tition of M into curves, i.e. a foliation of codimension n - 1. More generally, a foliation F of codimension q on M corresponds to a partition of M into immersed submanifolds [the leaves] of dimension ,--------,- - . - -- p = n - q.

Download or read book Introduction to Stochastic Analysis and Malliavin Calculus written by Giuseppe Da Prato and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an introductory course on differential stochastic equations and Malliavin calculus. The material of the book has grown out of a series of courses delivered at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa (and also at the Trento and Funchal Universities) and has been refined over several years of teaching experience in the subject. The lectures are addressed to a reader who is familiar with basic notions of measure theory and functional analysis. The first part is devoted to the Gaussian measure in a separable Hilbert space, the Malliavin derivative, the construction of the Brownian motion and Itô's formula. The second part deals with differential stochastic equations and their connection with parabolic problems. The third part provides an introduction to the Malliavin calculus. Several applications are given, notably the Feynman-Kac, Girsanov and Clark-Ocone formulae, the Krylov-Bogoliubov and Von Neumann theorems. In this third edition several small improvements are added and a new section devoted to the differentiability of the Feynman-Kac semigroup is introduced. A considerable number of corrections and improvements have been made.
Download or read book Topological Vector Spaces and Their Applications written by V.I. Bogachev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a compact exposition of the fundamentals of the theory of locally convex topological vector spaces. Furthermore it contains a survey of the most important results of a more subtle nature, which cannot be regarded as basic, but knowledge which is useful for understanding applications. Finally, the book explores some of such applications connected with differential calculus and measure theory in infinite-dimensional spaces. These applications are a central aspect of the book, which is why it is different from the wide range of existing texts on topological vector spaces. Overall, this book develops differential and integral calculus on infinite-dimensional locally convex spaces by using methods and techniques of the theory of locally convex spaces. The target readership includes mathematicians and physicists whose research is related to infinite-dimensional analysis.
