Combinatorial Stochastic Processes: Ecole d'Eté de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXII - 2002

by Jim Pitman, Jean Picard (Editor)

The purpose of this text is to bring graduate students specializing in probability theory to current research topics at the interface of combinatorics and stochastic processes. There is particular focus on the theory of random combinatorial structures such as partitions, permutations, trees, forests, and mappings, and connections between the asymptotic theory of enumeration of such structures and the theory of stochastic processes like Brownian motion and Poisson processes.
