Stochastic Models

Proceedings of the International Conference on Stochastic Models in Honour of Professor Donald A. Dawson, Ottawa, Canada, June 10-13, 1998

By: Donald Andrew Dawson,Luis G. Gorostiza,B. Gail Ivanoff

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Stochastic Models held in Ottawa (ON, Canada) in honor of Professor Donald A. Dawson. Contributions to the volume were written by students and colleagues of Professor Dawson, many of whom are eminent researchers in their own right. A main theme of the book is the development and study of the Dawson-Watanabe "superprocess", a fundamental building block in modelling interaction particle systems undergoing reproduction and movement. The volume also contains an excellent review article by Professor Dawson and a complete list of his work. This comprehensive work offers a wide assortment of articles on Markov processes, branching processes, mathematical finance, filtering, queueing networks, time series, and statistics. It should be of interest to a broad mathematical audience.

Intermediate Accounting

IFRS Edition

By: Donald E. Kieso,Jerry J. Weygandt,Terry D. Warfield

Due to the emergence of IFRS as the required convention for reporting to stock exchanges in the European Union and other important markets, accountants must gain a strong understanding of these standards. Intermediate Accounting integrates this new information throughout the chapters so they’ll learn how to apply the new global accounting standards. Global examples are presented to clearly show how the information is utilized in the field. The use of various currencies is also explored, which is critical for accountants to know in today’s global businesses environment.

Spatial Fleming-Viot Models with Selection and Mutation

By: Donald A. Dawson,Andreas Greven

This book constructs a rigorous framework for analysing selected phenomena in evolutionary theory of populations arising due to the combined effects of migration, selection and mutation in a spatial stochastic population model, namely the evolution towards fitter and fitter types through punctuated equilibria. The discussion is based on a number of new methods, in particular multiple scale analysis, nonlinear Markov processes and their entrance laws, atomic measure-valued evolutions and new forms of duality (for state-dependent mutation and multitype selection) which are used to prove ergodic theorems in this context and are applicable for many other questions and renormalization analysis for a variety of phenomena (stasis, punctuated equilibrium, failure of naive branching approximations, biodiversity) which occur due to the combination of rare mutation, mutation, resampling, migration and selection and make it necessary to mathematically bridge the gap (in the limit) between time and space scales.

Historical Processes

Historical Processes

By: Donald Andrew Dawson,Edwin Arend Perkins

The historical process is constructed to be a superprocess associated with a general motion process and branching mechanism, which is enriched so as to contain information on genealogy. In other words, it is a Markov process taking values in the space of measures on the set of possible histories. Using the canonical representation for the infinitely divisible random measures which describe the process at fixed times, the authors obtain analytical and probabilistic representations for the associated Palm measures. They employ these representations to obtain results on the modulus of continuity and equilibirium structure for a class of superprocesses in Rd and to establish that super-Brownian motion in dimensions d 53 has constant density with respect to the appropriate Hausdorff measure.

The Story of Earth's Climate in 25 Discoveries

How Scientists Found the Connections Between Climate and Life

By: Donald R. Prothero

Over 4.5 billion years, Earth’s climate has transformed tremendously. Before our more temperate recent past, the planet swung from one extreme to another—from a greenhouse world of sweltering temperatures and high sea levels to a “snowball earth” in which glaciers reached the equator. During this history, we now know, living things and the climate have always influenced and even shaped each other. But the climate has never changed as rapidly or as drastically as it has since the Industrial Revolution. In this lively and entertaining book, Donald R. Prothero explores the astonishing connections between climate and life through the ages, telling the remarkable stories of the scientists who made crucial discoveries. Journeying through the intertwined evolution of climate and life, he tackles questions such as: Why do we have phytoplankton to thank for the air we breathe? What kind of climate was necessary for the rise of the dinosaurs—or the mammals, their successors? When and how have climatic changes caused mass extinctions? Prothero concludes with the Ice Ages and the Holocene, the role of climate in human history, and the perils of anthropogenic climate change. Understanding why the climate has changed in the past, this timely book shows, is essential to grasping the gravity of how radically human activity is altering the climate today.
