This volume presents an extensive overview of all major modern trends in applications of probability and shastic analysis. It will be a great source of inspiration for designing new algorithms, modeling procedures and experiments. Accessible to researchers, practitioners, as well as graduate and postgraduate students, this volume presents a variety of new tools, ideas and methodologies in the fields of optimization, physics, finance, probability, hydrodynamics, reliability, decision making, mathematical finance, mathematical physics and economics.
Contributions to this Work include those of selected speakers from the international conference entitled “Modern Shastics: Theory and Applications III,” held on September 10 –14, 2012 at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine. The conference covered the following areas of research in probability theory and its applications: shastic analysis, shastic processes and fields, random matrices, optimization methods in probability, shastic models of evolution systems, financial mathematics, risk processes and actuarial mathematics and information security.
