Vorlesungsmanuskript

Das Skript wird hier online gestellt. Lecture notes will be posted here. 

  • Chapter 1. General theory of stochastic processes: PDF
  • Chapter 2. Markov Chains. Part 1: PDF      Part 2: PDF
    Both parts together: PDF
    Chapter 2 of these lecture notes follows closely a book by James Norris: "Markov Chains", Cambridge University Press.
    Parts of this book can be downloaded at the homepage of the author: LINK
    We also recommend the following books on Markov chains:
    1) G. Lawler. Introduction to the theory of stochastic processes.
    2) N. Privault. Understanding Markov chains. 
    Lecture notes of N. Privault related to this book can be downloaded here: LINK
  • Chapter 3. Renewal Processes and the Poisson Process:  PDF
    We recommend the following books:
    1) G. Lawler. Introduction to the theory of stochastic processes.
    2) S. Resnick. Advenrutes in stochastic processes.
  • Chapter 4. Brownian Motion: PDF
    We recommend the book
    P. Mörters, Y. Peres. Brownian Motion. 
  • Chapter 5. Strong Markov Property. Lecture notes will be posted later...
    We recommend the book
    P. Mörters, Y. Peres. Brownian Motion. 
  • Chapter 6. Martingales. An excellent book on the topic is
    D. Williams. Probability with martingales. 
  • Chapter 7. Levy Processes.
  • Chapter 8. Stochastic Integrals. We recommend the books:
    Hui-Hsiung Kuo. Introduction to Stochastic Integration.
    Thomas Mikosch. Elementary Stochastic Calculus with Finance in View.

Very nice lecture notes of Steven Lalley (University of Chicago) can be downloaded here: LINK and here: LINK

The following book is highly recommended: R. Durrett. Probability: Theory and Examples.
