Workshop: Recursive(ly defined) Stochastic Processes

Synopsis

Various discrete-time stochastic processes have some kind of recursive or regenerative structure that can be exploited in the study of their properties. Examples include branching processes, autoregressive time series, and iterated function systems. This workshop in honor of Gerold Alsmeyer's 60th birthday brings together experts from various fields of probability theory to present a broad picture of recursively defined stochastic processes and to further the scientific exchange between groups taking different perspectives of these phenomena.
