Stochastic Processes and Related Topics: In Memory of Stamatis Cambanis 1943-1995 (Trends in Mathematics)

There has been extensive research in the past twenty years devoted to a better understanding of the stable and other closely related infinitely divisible models. The late Professor Stamatis Cambanis, a distinguished educator and researcher, played a special leadership role in the development of these fields from the early seventies until his untimely death in April 1995. This commemorative volume honoring Stamatis Cambanis consists of a collection of research articles devoted to review the state of the art in rapidly developing research areas in Stochastic Processes and to explore new directions of research. The volume is a tribute to the life and work of Stamatis by his students, friends, and colleagues whose personal and professional lives he deeply touched through his generous insights and dedication to his profession.
