Summary

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.

Combinatorial Stochastic Processes Summary

Combinatorial Stochastic Processes: Ecole d'Ete de Probabilites de Saint-Flour XXXII - 2002 by Jean Picard

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.

Combinatorial Stochastic Processes Reviews

From the reviews:

The intertwining of many aspects of combinatorics and probability is treated in the book under review. ... I think this is an important book for a variety of mathematicians. Moreover, the good exercises provided in each section and a good bibliography make the book suitable as a textbook for topics courses and as a reference for particular topics in various standard courses. (Bert Fristedt, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 c)
