Rezensionen

"Modern stochastics is usually identified with stochastic analysis, a field in mathematics that is well-developed under "usual conditions". Hence, a variety of results of this theory and its applications are also restricted by these technical conditions. Many examples from theory and applications call for further extensions of stochastic analysis. Optional Processes: Theory and Applications is first attempt of such natural extension.

The authors provide an excellent treatment of papers written in the 1970s and 1980s by Dellacherie, Doob, Galtchouk, Lepingle, and Lenglart among others. Moreover, the authors develop this topic in a comprehensive manner, and while doing so offer beautiful applications to the fields of

mathematical finance and filtering theory. This book will be extremely useful for experts in the area of stochastic analysis, mathematical finance, and related fields."

-Svetlozar Rachev, Texas Tech University

"The usual analysis of stochastic processes in continuous time is developed in a framework of a filtered probability space satisfying the 'usual conditions'. That is, the flow of information modeled by the filtration is assumed to be right continuous. Situations arise where this condition is not satisfied. This important book develops a theory of stochastic processes where 'unusual conditions' are assumed to hold. These have applications in quantitative finance and elsewhere."
