The purpose, level, and style of this new edition conform to the tenets set forth in the original preface. The authors continue with their tack of developing simultaneously theory and applications, intertwined so that they refurbish and elucidate each other.The authors have made three main kinds of changes. First, they have enlarged on the topics treated in the first edition. Second, they have added many exercises and problems at the end of each chapter. Third, and most important, they have supplied, in new chapters, broad introductory discussions of several classes of stochastic processes not dealt with in the first edition, notably martingales, renewal and fluctuation phenomena associated with random sums, stationary stochastic processes, and diffusion theory.

In this revised edition, the number of exercises has been doubled, and Wald's equation has been added along with examples of sum quota sampling. Chapters are organized around several prototype classes of stochastic processes featuring Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, Poisson processes and renewal theory, the evolution of branching events, and queueing models. Solutions to selected exercises are included. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling

Academic Pr

In this single-volume edition of a noted two-volume text, the author synthesizes the concepts of game theory, programming theory, and the concepts and techniques of mathematical economics into a single systematic theory. The first part concerns the theory of matrix games; the second, linear and nonlinear programming and mathematical economics. In both parts, key mathematical concepts are clarified and their applicability to similar problems suggested by using the principles of game theory and programming to solve simplified problems based on economic models, business decisions, and military tactics. Solutions to most of the problems and hints for solving others are given at the end of each part. 1959 edition.

This book deals with a key area of population genetics: the ratio of the sexes in a population, or the allocation of resources to male versus female reproductive function. Samuel Karlin and Sabin Lessard establish the formal theoretical aspects of the evolution of sex ratio within the constraints of genetic mechanisms of sex determination. Their results generalize and unify existing work on the topic, strengthening previous conceptions in some cases and, in other instances, offering new directions of research.There are two main approaches to understanding the causes and effects of sex ratio. One approach focuses on the optimization and adaptive functions of sex allocation, while the other emphasizes the consequences of genetic sex determination mechanisms. In discussing the utility of these two approaches, Professors Karlin and Lessard examine the principal sex-determining mechanisms and facts involved in sex ratio representations, the various genetic and environmental factors that contribute to adaptive sex expression, and the evolution of sex determining systems and controls. From a population genetic perspective, the authors derive evolutionary properties in support of the high incidence of 1:1 sex ratio in natural populations and investigate the conditions that can explain the occurrence of biased sex ratio.

A First Course in Stochastic Processes

Michael Stevens has always been a long shot. After a decade of tennis and travel, he's arrived at the end of the road. With his ranking in ruins and his bank account running on empty, Michael has come to Tokyo with one last chance to mend a broken heart and prove who he is both on the court and off. Can he win against all odds? Will he discover that winning doesn't have anything to do with tennis at all? In this coming of age story of love, loss and second chances, Michael has one more shot to show what he can do and finally figure out what really matters in life.
