Weak Convergence of Measures
Share this pageVladimir I. Bogachev
This book provides a thorough exposition of the main concepts and
results related to various types of convergence of measures arising in
measure theory, probability theory, functional analysis, partial
differential equations, mathematical physics, and other theoretical
and applied fields. Particular attention is given to weak convergence
of measures. The principal material is oriented toward a broad circle
of readers dealing with convergence in distribution of random
variables and weak convergence of measures.
The book contains the necessary background from measure theory and
functional analysis. Large complementary sections aimed at researchers
present the most important recent achievements. More than 100 exercises
(ranging from easy introductory exercises to rather difficult problems
for experienced readers) are given with hints, solutions, or
references. Historic and bibliographic comments are included.
The target readership includes mathematicians and physicists whose
research is related to probability theory, mathematical statistics,
functional analysis, and mathematical physics.
Readership
Graduate students and researchers interested in probability theory and functional analysis.
