Reversibility and Stochastic Networks
by F.P. Kelly
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd 1979
ISBN/ASIN: 1107401151
Number of pages: 233
Description:
Examines the behavior in equilibrium of vector stochastic processes or stochastic networks, considering a wide range of applications by discussing stochastic models that arise in fields such as operational research, biology, and polymer science. Reviews the concept of reversibility, including material necessary to establish terminology and notation. Explains such uses as the study of the output from a queue, the flow of current in a conductor, the age of an allele, and the equilibrium distribution of a polymerization process. Also examines the extent to which the assumption of reversibility can be relaxed without destroying the associated tractability. Requires an understanding of Markov processes.

Lectures on Stochastic Differential Equations and Malliavin Calculusby S. Watanabe - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
The author's main purpose in these lectures was to study solutions of stochastic differential equations as Wiener functionals and apply to them some infinite dimensional functional analysis. This idea was due to P. Malliavin.
